Ok how do Combine work when they go to attack an enemy? Do they shoot the first person closest to them or the person with least health or what?
-----------------------------------------
THIS MAYBE ONLY WORK IF ITS TRUE Im guessing the person closest to them is targeted if someone else wasn't already. In this case I want to make it harder for Rebels. So what I was thinking is that they shouldn't shoot the person closest to them, they should shoot people with least health first, BUT if the defender is in front it isnt hard for Rebels to kill them because they are like notargeted because Combine are focused on a unkillable target so I was thinking it should shoot the most vulnerable people first.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS PART IS FOR COMBINE WHEN THEY ARE IN GROUPS
IF one combine is shooting one person, the other combine shouldnt shoot the same person, they should shoot another person.

IGNORE EVERY WORD ABOVE THIS IF ITS ALRAEDY IN THE GAME BUT THE INFO BELOW I KNOW COULD BE ADDED
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBINE SHOULD BE SMART
I think combine should try to kill a KEY ROLE the medic first, and avoid Defenders.
EXAMPLE
Medics 75% threat to combines (more targeting)
Rebels 50% threat to combines (normal targeting)
Defenders 35% threat to combines (smaller targeting)

Combine should also kill smaller amounts of rebels because they can put more damage onto a smaller amount of players killing them faster

LEAST THREAT......MORE THREAT (kill which rebel first according to their role, basic rebel, medic, or defender, threats listed above)
5 rebels........................3 rebels

Like if you're a defender, Combine should try to ignore you unless you're the only player there and most of the Combine shooting other players behind you, forcing you to get in their face.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THESE plans are to give combine more advantages and not make them a bot you can easily kill with one shotgun blast
SO far the only way combine have an advantage is when they are in spammed up groups

in conjunction with your post about lowering the medic's health... you do know both of your suggestions make playing medic a deathwish.

The combine AI needs to be looked at as it was never meant to even consider multiple targets. Rest assured that it is a VERY common topic of conversation.
