Attackers in Siege mode (the only mode we’ve seen thus far) attempt to extract the hostage, who is basically a human flag. However, in the dozens of individual rounds I played, the attackers got their hands on the hostage just a few times, and only successfully extracted him a couple of those. The overwhelming majority of rounds ended with one team or the other completely wiped out. It’s a shame, because in the moments that one of the teams did escort the hostage, the ensuing escape was extremely tense and thrilling for both sides. I hope the final game finds a way to surface this gameplay more often.

This is kind of the crux with all games based on hostage extraction/bomb plants. Sometimes it's just easier to kill the other team.
