An interesting story... If you recall, the reason the battles looked so good in the last movie (and I assume the release tomorrow) was that each individual "soldier" was programmed how to fight but then they just set them loose on a battlefield and watched it happen.
Evidently, one of the more difficult aspects of this "logic" was making the soldiers idiotic enough to actually stay and fight. :)

Link didn't work for me. I've no idea why anyone would think it idiotic to stay and fight in a battle in order to win. Well, that's not true, I know there are a lotta women that would consider it idiotic.

If you're fighting a Nazgul or a cave troll, you might think it better to run. :)
Hmmm... try this? (http://www.canada.com/components/printstory/printstory.asp?id=7530006A-C103-4E13-9A55-F6EFCC111ACC)

Ah got it.
"I want battles like nothing anyone has ever seen on screen," Jackson said. I want every soldier fighting for himself - you have to come up with something."
If I am understanding this right then therein is the problem. Any soldier "fighting for himself" rather than a "cause" is certainly going to flee in the face of overwhelming odds.

All fights are matters of life and death.
I've had dreams where sometimes I stay and fight, and sometimes I run...usually against overwhelming odds, like 30' generators hitting me with lightning bolts and paralyzing me. That was the worst nightmare I recall, and even then I was almost stronger than the electricity. I defied it to the point it almost killed me...so to speak. This was in a futuristic setting where a flying saucer would be right at home. (Too much TV!!! )
I have never fought anything like Nazcul or cave trolls in these dreams. I think I would be prepared for them if they ever showed up in a dream. Don't know if I'd run or not.
