I found the mission itself to be a bit too over the top, the opposition was a bit too much for the team size. The author tried to compensate this with the revive option, and therein lies, for me, the biggest problem with the mission: I have nothing against revive per se, but this is just over the top: You basically can't die at all. I saw one of our guys being pounded by a machine gun, blood spraying all over the place, and he just went on his back and yelled "Medic". You can not die with this script, not even from a headshot, not even when receiving an amount of damage that is beyond what a tank can receive without getting ripped apart.
For me, this mission was without any immersion, and in the end was just boring and even enraging, because you got up, got shot, got up, got shot over and over again.
We tried it tonight after most people left...damn near completed it, but I agree it is a LOT to deal with. We were mostly just trying to run for the evac point and take cover from the overwhelming enemy force. Not nearly enough AT to deal with all of the armor, especially when our single AT guy got killed far away from us.
I liked the sense of epic battle, but it was a lot for 8 people or whatever...I think in the end we only had 6 or so. Also got a fair bit of lag in that mission, probably just because a lot was going on...wasn't great but it wasn't unplayable, either.
