I was not discussing the graphics - which as you say while advanced are evolutionary. I was referring to the AI.
In wolfenstein you had bad guys that basically walked towards you and shot. That was pretty much it.
In UT you have bots that will work together as a team, wait in ambush, find and use different weapons, etc, etc.
Yes it's a controlled environment - but so long as you don't try and talk to them you cannot tell the difference between a bot player and a human player much of the time.
Obviously conversation is a harder goal to achieve - but people are making progress towards it.
I agree that a true AI (Machine Sentience) is a good way off yet. On the other hand convincing AI (Turing Test in set situations - for example a convincing peasant in a fantasy world) is not.
