yeah, humorous bug still there.

True... this error has been there since the game got released. Sometimes shooting at the soldier just as he comes out helps, but they ought to be patrolling. Maybe they are trying to go somewhere so close to the elevator that they enter the elevator / door before getting there, then come out the other side without reaching the checkpoint and have to go back through the door to get to the checkpoint? Or waypoint or whatever you call the path finding nodes.

Yes this happens a lot and sometimes at elevators that I want to use.

Lucky for me, I've Cloaking on all my agents, but this could be frustrating for players who want to stealth but have not found the Cloaking gear yet.

For those players I would advice... patience. Because eventually those units tend to go back to whatever they were doing before they decided to go all loopy. It's also possible to hijack guards and have them fire a few shots to attract attention. That can get other guards out of loops. Or into loops. As long as the guards belong in the compound they can usually avoid suspicion as long as no one sees them shooting into the ground. Much more reusable than Sonic Grenades.
