Embrace the Darkness tier 3 impossible to complete

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug The AI seems bugged in the mission Embrace the Darkness tier 3. Basically it is unwinnable because the AI literally run away from you even when you hit them. The always run upstairs when you're downstairs and there simply isn't enough time to find enough enemies. Even playing as Boba and flying right for the spawns doesn't work. I don't feel like it's an issue of skill as it is a technical problem. I challenge anyone to pass that in its current state.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? spooncakes

In what game mode did the bug occur? Arcade Mode
What is your time zone? BST - GMT + 6:00
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Making the AI a little more aggressive so they want to fight you instead of hiding.
What happens when the bug occurs? The time runs out because the AI are lobotomised.
What do you expect to see? AI that actually have the balls to fight me.

    I know what you are experiencing. I have finished it many times. The challenge is not easy, but its doable. Depending on the spawn you will have two to three enemies in the middle. Use Maul. After first defeated enemies, move forward combining spin attack and avoid. You can have more than two spin attacks + fast recharge star cards. Now it should be easier.with Epic star cards.

    It's completely impossible to complete tier 3 because the enemies have been programmed to run away from attackers since the latest patch. Before, the enemies would swarm the attacker.

    You really have to get ridiculously lucky, because the AI all got fluff for brains now.  I lost interest in Arcade mode when the update to dumbify the AI was released.  On the normal levels, there's no challenge, and on the levels like the one you are describing, they don't try to fight you so there's no way to kill enough of them in the time provided.  It was not a useful update in any way.  Was anybody really asking that EA do this?  Maybe a few whiners, but not normal players, that's for sure.

    I'm at 45 of 48 and stopped trying to finish off the last three tier 3 challenges since it's just a waste of time and effort. Just to prove how useless the AI in Arcade mode is, I made a video where I run right into a crowd of troopers and after I kill one of them, the other four run away and the rest of the troopers on the board disappear. Now how am I supposed to kill 40 troopers in three seconds when they act like that?

    If anything, the AI got smarter. I know that in return, this broke some more difficult arcade scenarios, and that needs to be addressed - but at launch, all the AI did was rush you, or each other, if it was a team battle. It was incredibly dumb to see a sharpshooter running towards a lightsaber wielding character, or to see two AI npcs run towards each other, and then start spamming the melee attack.
