Rescue Missions Need Some Work

[Chebarus]

I just recently failed another rescue mission. Not because I rushed ahead, or because I got overrun by enemies, or anything like that. The Hostage simply ran into a fire and stood still. After I revived him (almost dying in the process,) he got up and ran straight into another fire. This time I was unable to revive him in time, and I failed the mission (which happened to be an alert.)

 

I don't know what it is with rescue missions, but they seem to be awfully buggy as a whole. I've had the Hostage get stuck on corners, get stuck in walls, commit suicide, or just outright refuse to move. I also have a hard time getting the objective to advance once I find the Hostage (my objective will tell me to find the Hostage, even though he'll be standing right next to me.)

 

I probably fail more resuce missions than any other type, and it's almost always due to the Hostage working up. I think the Hostage AI needs to be updated somehow. I almost never see enemies act as strangely as the Hostage does.
