Worst Video Game Mission of all time?

Any that requires you to 'protect' a usually idiotic AI character. I cannot begin to explain how much I hate that in videogames.
Keeping Snake alive in the part near the end of MGS2 springs to mind at the moment. "STOP RUNNING INTO THE GUNFIRE YOU FOOL!"

Pretty much this, though RE4 was worse for it than MGS2 (unless you were trying to complete a no kill PT on Euro Extreme). Pretty much any offline mission in Arma II was terrible, I wish I knew why they picked the single worst voice actor in the profession for the voice of the player's character and if you get hit you're dead, not because it's a one shot kill, but because you have to rely on the AI's ability to both remember where you were when you were hit and their ability to navigate their way back to you. It's an absolute joke 90% of the time. Then again if you play it offline you're doing it completely wrong.

That mission in San Andreas where you had to shoot the RC planes out of the sky before they blew up all of Zero's satellites. I only beat that mission by pure luck after probably a hundred tries.

I gave up on that on the PS2, bought the PC version and finished the game, so yes this is one of the worst missions ever

GT5 24 Hour Endurance race before the save featured was implemented.
I never did it. People die from gaming that long. Any video game mission that puts your actual life at risk is a bad one.
I like to overreact.

The trick was to watch the radar/map. It wasn't easy but by far not the worst I've experienced, Stuntman comes to my mind for example.

If you thought that one is bad, what about the one afterwards? The original version is a nightmare (pre hot-coffee re-releases).

IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey had a bomber escort mission to Berlin - even on easy it caused a lot of grief for players. No matter how tight you stayed with the bombers you needed to protect, the fighters came in from all angles. Oddly enough, on hard level, all you needed to do was maintain an umbrella cover until the bombers got there - just fly straight and the enemy fighters stayed away...insanity.

This one should be the worst and the hardest mission ever in a tactical action game, Gundam Zeonic Front PS2, Mission 6, to get S rank, it will take perfect planning, both for the player and AI team mates, good use of skills, equipment, a good judgment, timing and lots of luck. Why ? Because the enemy are in God mode and they can detect the player or AI team mates like all knowing deity, so once they found out, there's no way to complete the mission with S rank and death usually ensues.

I can't do Supply Lines at all. The first mission was easy. Supply Lines is very aggravating.
The most fastidious mission, from any videogame has to be that night Vietnam mission in COD Black Ops, is downright terrible, is pretty chaotic and confusing, unlike other COD games you don't see where you're being shoot at, there are no good place to cover and is really fastidious(like BO as a whole).
I'm pretty sure I have better candidates for worst mission, but that's the worst I can think right now.

This. I don't know how I did that on Veteran when I was on prone most of the time.
I don't know any really awful missions. Skyrim has quests that don't even make sense because you keep going into some ruin that takes forever to get through. MW3 has the prologue mission where you just lay there.

Any and all escort missions. Seriously these need to go. I can't begin to express how much I hate them.

The last mission on the original Driver. It should be noted (for those who don't know) that the first ever Driver 1 had a rather sofisticated (for the time and type of game) set of physics, not to mention that you couldn't get out of your car. You had to finish the entire mission on only one car's health. Difficult for sure.
Also, like someone else mentioned, anything on the original Stuntman. A mission that comes to mind is that one where you had to drive the blue Lamborghini-type car and crash on a flying helicopter. Great game.
Too bad they don't make it like this anymore...

The second gem catch mission, the second village protect mission, and the trolley mission, all from Spyro 2.
Although i agree with what you've said and hate them myself i've just recently finished ICO and loved it and that game is one long escort mission, would be an even better game if the AI was little more clever tho.

Oh god yes, Driver - Driv3r was even harder, the last ones in Istanbul almost made me eat my joypad! First a chase with an apline though the shoddy hoods, then an incredibly hard part where you follow a train with a sports car and then a looong, long and hard shooting sequence, with those horrid running and shooting mechanism. *shudders* Still kinda loved that game for its very realistic athmosphere and scenery but those missions... dang!

Worst one? Well, every "Go down that tunnel and fight against NPCs that respawn infinitely." level in Call of Duty. The one that annoyed me the most was the Russian base (I think it was level 3 or 4) in CoD: Black Ops. Oh and the one in Vietnam, Black Ops as well, when you're supposed to run down the hill and kick the barrels down the hill after you ignited them.
