:{{Rebut}}It isn't crappy, you just don't know how to use it.  When I play GTA4, the cover system always works fine, and the game automatically selects the nearest cover, not the smartest, due to the game isn't as smart as you think it should be.  Its only 2008, and not all systems used in video games are perfect.

::{{Rebut}}As you have little to no control over which surface Niko will choose, it is not a matter of 'knowing how to use it'.  Whether there's anything that can be done about this is the question -- an algorithm which can pick the surface most sheltered from enemy positions, perhaps?...  Throwing grenades and firing rockets from cover is frequently catastrophic, too, and that's something that surely ''can'' be fixed; seemingly clear shots can end with Niko firing an RPG point-blank into his cover, or bouncing a grenade off his cover to fall at his feet -- boom, dead.

:::{{Gripe}} Yeah, but the game could a least find the cover that best shields Niko from enemy fire. No, I agree that the cover system could be a bit more responsive. Half the time Niko jumps into cover that actually FACES the enemies and i get shot to death. Or Niko doesn't even move at all and the enemy blasts all my armor away. Rockstar North should really work on that.
