escort missions are the worst, who ever I am escorting is slow as anything and dumber than a bag of rocks and the enemies always go for the person I am escorting and captain stupid runs off and fights them and dies and i have to start the mission over again.
with forced stealth there isn't a brainless bag of rocks following me and i can concentrate picking off the enemies and not trying to fight the latest horde brought on by captain bag of rocks.

im gonna have to go with escort missions, since usually its rarely your fault, and entirely down to the poor AI programming.
EDIT ; Havent explained what is rarely your fault.
It's rarely your fault that you fail. Forced stealth is annoying, and usually just slows down the pace of the game unnecessarily. but escort missions can just force you to replay the same part over and over again simply due to bullet magnet AI escorts.

While forced stealth is a pain in the ass, I'm going with Escort Missions.
I mean, first, everyone knows what escorting REALLY is, you need to pack a bajillion health potions(if the game sports them), and they usually end up getting killed in a cutscene anyway.

I like stealth. They usually provide me a fair amount of challenge, unless they're pretty impossible. Then I don't like them anymore.
But Escort Missions by far are the worst thing. I always have hell doing them because the AI just goes out of its way to set itself in danger. And almost ALWAYS at the MOST inconvenient times.

Definitly Escort missions. Stealth missions have you take advantage of the AI's stupidity, but in escort missions, the AI's stupidity can get you killed.
I'd rather fail because I got cocky and got caught rather then failing becuase the AI decided to step in front of the bad guys attack.

Escort missions, especially if the AI has no shred of intelligence, or if you have to carry them, Dead Rising for example.
Forced Stealth
Sure some games like Metro 2033 or Modern Warfare made it optional, but then it's not forced.
The only games that get forced stealth right are stealth games
That was INVINCIBLE!
With that said, Assassin's Creed 2 also did it right by just making them piss easy.

inFamous had one mission where you have to escort a train...Jughead said:

Escort missions should be optional. Guarding a retar- I mean stupid AI character who runs into the enemies line of sight constantly is not my idea of fun.

The only games where I usually manage to get through escort missions without making a dent in the wall, are the ones where you can actually tell the Escortee to stop and wait for you to come back. However these are almost always games where enemies spawn in as you progress and as such one will inevitalby spawn far behind you(next to the escortee), only to activate once you've cleared out the area and are returning to collect the Escortee, where upon the enemy will dispatch the escortee with a single shot... after this happens for the fifth time, rage ensues, as do more dents in the wall.Amnestic said:
The poll results say it all: escort missions. I guess I'll just sum this up by saying....
ASHLEY. FROM. RESIDENT. EVIL. FUCKIN'. 4.

While I hate stealth missions, at least you only have to worry about saving your own ass and you don't have to worry about the AI for the thing you're escorting running in and dying.
