Up to hard difficulty, the NPCs behave rather normal, with the ocasional bout of stupidity. But any higher than that, and yes, I agree with you, they just turn into cheap a.ssholes who ignore any rule, including bullet staggering, and just charge you like morons. Because they can. And won't die, while you most certainly will.
There was a post about this before.
The enemies at least in WT5 Challenging aren't working properly. They rush you when they shouldn't. Essentially they think you always have low life so they rush at you. Only the rushers should be doing this. It's probably bugged in all WT levels, but since enemies don't really become spongey till WT5 Challenging you don't care.
