I´ve noticed that sometimes AI get stuck between a corner and a light pole (street lights), this just happened to me also. The character got stuck between the wall and the light, I couldn´t retreat back and I couldn´t strafe right. Because of this I got killed by an AI.
How about a feature (both AI and player) that could circle/go round small object like streeat lights, concrete fundaments and doors?
It would allow for smooth and fluid movement and reduce frustration on player part.
