I guess what it boils down to many times is the difference between what *should* happen and what *does* happen. What should happen is that there are one or two players being the objective class, say CovOps, and they are concentrating on hacking. They would be supported by the rest of the team, with medics hanging around for revives and supplies, FOs for arty cover, Soldiers for MG and Launcher protection, and Engineers to keep AP, AV, and AA defenses operational as well as repairing the team's vehicles. This force would hit the objective like a Kansas Tornado, with a prelim bombardment by artillery followed by the infantry assault with armor support, and the hackers coming up in the rear after a perimeter is established. Sounds awesome, maybe even orgasmic if you're into that sort of thing? Yeah. Does it really ever click that well? Nope. Oh, sure, some elements do come together nicely, mostly in the FO department with them calling out when they are firing arty, so the others can make good use of the cover it provides, but not as much in the rest of it.


What does happen alot is that the attacking team throws itself at the enemy, with each soldier fighting his own little slice of the battle, only helping buddies when it is really obvious (standard pub behavior, I know TG does better ), and then there are the two or three odd guys who really care about the mission and are desperately trying to complete it against all odds, usually begging for assistance from their team without success, and the result is the enemy only really has to worry about one or two enemies actually threatening the objective. Just what I have observed.
