This is from a Scandinavian interview, translated into ENglish here (http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=23362).
Interesting stuff... there will be a HL3, CS2...
"Smart AI is of course a huge part of the gameplay in Half-Life 2. The enemy soldiers seek for cover, help eachother and act tactical, just like in Half-Life. The allies Gordon will meet during the adventure will react different depending on how the player solve different situations and they will also handle scenarios differently depending on the behaviour of other allies.
There may erupt conflicts within the group if Gordon for instance orders three friends to attack a group of 10 Combine-soldiers from the front without any fire support. They may also refuse to do what Gordon tells them to. We've also written certain things in the system for the AI that have never been done before. It'll be extremely interesting to hear the buyer and the press response to this."
