        The scripts are going to be in the end game. The points where the gun disappears are blatant scripts. Enemy combat seems unscripted...it's not overly impressive combat and it doesn't show any brilliant bullshit AI moments.
        
        HL2 the combine kicking in the door and knocking over the table and all that dynamic fighting was bullshit. Many people commented on the AI being a big disappointment after HL2 came out.
        
        So Bioshock looks exactly how it would feel playing it, even though there are hands off scripted sequences. That's how the game is. Try and watch the combine fight in HL2 presentation, then play HL2...a world of difference.
