The Best Video Game Gunfight Of All Time (F.E.A.R.)

This is, in my opinion, the best video game shootout of all time. The level design, smart AI and chaotic gameplay elevate this game(as well as the original F.E.A.R.) into a sheer masterpiece of combat.

It's incredible to think that after all of these years, nothing has surpassed it. Hell, gaming companies don't even try to anymore.

In this video you will also see a small comparison between the highly scripted and predictable AI of the Battlefield series, to the dynamic, autonomous and fierce AI of the first F.E.A.R. game and its expansions.

What's funny is that F.E.A.R. uses a simpler goal oriented system for its AI than Battlefield's node based, time consuming, and highly scripted system. Check out an explanation for F.E.A.R.'s AI here: http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~jorkin/gdc2006_orkin_jeff_fear.pdf

Not even the sequels were able to top the original.
