Line of Sight zombie chase mechanic made more difficult/realistic

Current behaviour: When a zombie loses sight of a player, it loses interest and starts wandering about again.

Suggestion: When a zombie loses sight of a player, it should continue running to the place it last saw them and turn in the direction they disappeared. Current mechanic is a bit nerfed and too easy to lose them.

Obviously zombies are meant to be kind of brainless but I think it would make the running and hiding a bit more realistic and effective if you needed to get TWO corners away, just like hiding from someone IRL. This would make the hiding mechanic very realistic and terrifying and I for one welcome our new chasing overlords. Keep it rough, keep it devastating!

Maybe, yeah. Since the goal is to keep it exciting and unpredictable, more random behaviour would probably add to this.
