I am playing gears of war through on casual difficulty and i am finding twice as hard as i thought it was becuase Dom is the worst AI i have ever come across. Example half way through act one when you are in the circular courtyard with a locust turret at the other end, you are suposed to flank it not Dom, he runs head on into and gets massacred. Another example end of act one with the berserker, you are supposed to bait it out of the tomb by running it through the smashable doors, not Dom he runs head on into the berserker and blows up. i wouldnt mind this so much if you didnt fail the mission when he dies aswell, so whilst playing the game i have to be aware of what i am doing, what the locusts are up to and babysitting Dom. God i wish i could play co op.

sorry about the length of this post

The AI that helps you in Gears is garbage, you are better off swallowing a Grenade. On Insane it's very frustrating at the end because Dom's d**b*** thinks he's Rambo or something and dies right off the bat.

Dom is useless on all difficulty levels. If you think he's bad on casual, try insane.

Not only is Dom retarded but does anyone else think that the squad commands are completely pointless as well?  Dom, or anyone for that matter, won't listen to them anyways, so why have them?

The AI on Insane is the only mode that has AI that you don't have to worry about your ally's with...or so I've heard. The AI on hardcore is no better. The bad guys are, though. :|

on casual, for the most part, i didn't think the AI was too terrible.  sometimes they seem lazy and have their moments of "right. . ." but overall, there have only beena  handful of moments when dom pissed me off.

It's true the AI sucks, but damn ... Cole, Baird and Dom say some of the funniest and coolest stuff I've ever heard in a video game.

It would be nice if they made an expansion to the campaign by allowing you to play as either Cole or Baird. It wouldn't be that big of a stretch. You could play some of the missions from their perspective. Defending the Stranded while Marcus and Dom are getting the junker. At the factory when they enter in a different location and end up in the sewer. Getting to the other junker and defending it at the Mansion.

That would depress me considering i just spent 15 CDN on the new maps and do not intend to buy more M$ points for another LONG time. As for the AI on ALL the support on GoW it goes like this - They all suck exept #83 the cole train because when hes alive for those first 30 sec he shouts out randm profanitys and taunts locusts-. Personally the AI no matter what anyone says is crap on all the settings so i dont want anyone to be confused. Just do it ALL on 2 player co-op and it will work out. Me and my friend got up too a count of 2 chainsaw kills seen by any of the support on all of act 2. It was like being an another ranked mastch for the first time.

Good luck with life on the interweb.

Dom is practically a crash test dummy on Insane. He usually doesn't last more than about 30 seconds into each checkpoint.
