Ravenshield Hostage/Terrorist Explanation
Posted: 07 Apr 2003, 07:50
This is an interesting article that show how/why hostages are killed during the execution of a mission. This also applies to other mission goals (intel gathering, bomb diffusing, etc). The linked article is very interesting.
Bottom line: tangos can hear gunfire and may kill hostages or detonate bombs when they do. Only certain tangos are programmed to do so but they won't always. There is a probability of them taking action which varies with the game difficulty.
(BTW: default probability for hostage execution is 40% ... -20% for recruit and +20% for elite.)
