The teammate AI isn't too bad as long as you use their strengths (quick reflexes and superb aim) and cover for their weaknesses (mostly brain dead).
Using red and blue independently is key. Myself I never have the full team stack up on a door unless its a very big room. I usually only have red or blue stack and, the other team covers their backs by providing cover down the hall, and I cover the other direction, or the stacked team. I also personally do all mirroring using the optiwand beforehand, and I wedge key doors when ever possible.
I also if facing a lot of baddies will do the breach and bang myself and have them charge in behind as I can time it better and put bangs where I need them.
I also personally tend to mostly pack bangs and only a few cs cans. I never use stingers after having the AI fumble the stupid things and not putting it in far enough. As for LTLs I always preferred the pepper ball gun for anyone not wearing a gas mask. Its great for compliance problems and has a high rate of fire.
As a side topic, what mods if any do you guys use? As I said I use a custom version of SSF with my own weapon tweaks. I hate the stock weapons settings, particularly reticule behavior and the magic spreading shotgun pattern due to reticule spread (I damn well near mod every game with guns to fix these sorts of problems as most devs don't have a clue how to make weapons perform realistically).
