It's like that old song goes... "so save the last Cobra missile for the shuttle pilot!"
Nothing is quite as epic as hold the line moment at the LZ
Sure, it costs you more ops packs and medi gels than hiding away at the other end of the map would, but damn if it doesn't make you feel better when the shuttle finally arrives.
Holding the line is fun with a good team, but can be a revive-fest with a bad team. Also, your entire team must be in on the fun. If two guys defend the LZ, and the other two leave, then it seems the guys at the LZ draw the most agro and they can get slaughtered. However, this can lead to very heroic rescue operation
Whatever works, works.
As I said, this necro was meant to be sarcastic. And I wanted it to serve as a reminder of the times when you saw videos on Youtube from guys like Jloco, going absolutely off on those people that camped the LZ. That always made me smile.
