How old are Half-Life and No One Lives Forever (best shooter ever made by the way)? These games are technically ancient but have better AI then 99% of the other shooters even today, FEAR and Halo top them, and that's it. I think it just asks for some more dedication, nobody would ever say Half-life and NOLF were underdeveloped when it comes to other aspects.
