With a little psychology I might make a wise guy comment but since this is my first post I'll lay back awhile. Anyhoo...as for Battlefield 1942 (Battlefield Vietnam version), the AI is a little weak. That is why I have traditionally played online against what I assume are thinking, sentient beings somewhere on the globe (most likely Korea). I enjoy spraying their guts across the screen far more than a cyber phantasm with questionnable sense when it comes to getting out from under the rain of bullets from the auto cannon mounted to the front of my A7 Corsair fighterjet. Love it! “Follow you into the tunnel” I don’t remember any tunnel. With a little psychology I might make a wise guy comment but since this is my first post I’ll lay back awhile.

I call it my "imagination". In this case, I "imagined" that the gaps in the walls on either side of the Pac-Man "building" were "tunnels". As for any Freudian attachments to entering or exiting said "tunnel", my "imagination" don't go there, girlfriend. As for bad AI, isn't ridiculous when a recent FPS has worse AI then Doom or Quake did?
