Well, Oni's AI isn't exactly the best(no offence to Bungie people...), although the AI they previously boasted about would have been great. Getting trap in doors or similar stuff is common for Oni characters. But if a character managed to get from the roof to the data vaults to find you, that's intelligent enough, especially for the current AI system...

I read in some reviews that boss character's (barabus, Mukade, Muro, etc) AI is slightly better than normal unit's... But these bosses would not even try to dodge weapon fires! Normal units would try to sidestep to avoid your constant rain of bullets, but boss characters would just charge madly at you! Maybe they think they have high health, so, avoiding weapons would not be neccessary. Try THAT when boss characters have nearly no health, and they still do this suicide act...
