Is there a particular AI that just loves to screw you over?

I have the most issues with Francis, but that may be because I hardly ever play as him so he has more opportunities to fail.

I hardly ever play with the AI, but when I do I get screwed over by all of them.

He hates real players.

Bill usually would do me and my buddies in.  Zoey seemed to be really helpful...like she'd pick off dudes with the sniper from crazy distances.  Bill seemed to be focus of most of our frustration always stoping us to get healed while a horde of zombies is chasing us, or picking up the pills and just holding on to them, or maybe opening a door we just closed allowing a hunter to get in and pounce on one of us.  Bill was a punk.

I usually play with at least two other buddies so the only AI that we'd play with is Zoey, and she seems really helpful.
I guess I'd say Francis?  If only cause he seemed to get into trouble a little bit more.

@HatKing: Just a few nights ago me and a friend were attempting to get the achievement for no survivors taking damage after contacting the rescue vehicle. We were playing on Death Toll so we holed up on the dock right where the boat would pick us up and pick off zombies from a distance. Right before we all boarded the boat, Bill decides he needs to run back to the house to get ammo. On the way there, while we're trying to cover him so we can get the achievement, a smoker back behind some trees drags him off and kills him. That was our closest run too.

Louis always seems to jump up in front of me when I'm shooting, so yeah. Kind of off subject, but do you guys think the character's AI patterns are different? I mean, Louis is always the one to jump in front of you (Maybe because the black guy in horror movies always seems to die first) and Zoey always gets headshots (because she's like a gamer?). I dunno, these are just things I think about when playing

I dunno. I mean, that's not entirely unlikely but it could all just be coincidence. But I have thought about that before.

I'm sure they all use the same AI, but Louis seems to run off on his own a lot when I play.  He's always getting in trouble.

Regarding infected, I seem to be a hunter magnet.  They get me all the time and the AI survivors always seem to take their sweet-ass time getting one off of me <.<

@Origina1Penguin: Heh, when I was playing with one of my friends he had the biggest issue with a tank. We were playing on Expert and when the tank showed up it  kept going after him. It actually ran past all of us in order to kill him and he ended up leading it all the way back to the spawn.

@Tigerruby:  lol, I bet he was making some lively comments the whole time too.  I can't finish any single player expert runs because infected seem to go straight for you regardless of how much closer the AI survivors are to them.  The tanks always do me in.

@Origina1Penguin: Yeah, I wouldn't suggest doing a run-through by yourself. The fewer people you have the harder it is. But if you are by yourself the best thing to do for the tank is run away because eventually it'll time out. It's kind of cheap, though. X3

Zoey always gets in trouble. Louis is always the one to find pills (when I'm not playing as him, as I always do unless I forget to select a character). Bill is often the first one to die; usually in some freak accident. Can't say I have much problem with Francis. Yeah, I'm sure they all use the same AI, but coincidences do happen...

Francis. He usually gets left behind or takes a lot of damage.
