I really liked it. The mission punished us twice. On the first attempt for not keeping on moving when facing an armoured platoon. At the second attempt for not checking our backs and not realising fast enough that we have enemies that close and at an unexpected direction. I really have no problem with that type of revive that doesn't let you die from a headshot, as long as the mission Is designed with that in mind, like this mission was. Sure, it's a bit of an immersion killer, but that mission in particular compensated for it by being fast paced and eventful. Really, the only damage it did was extending the end of us part by two more minutes. I'd say it's definitely worth it, and I would really like to try to beat that one, if no one objects.
Late answer, but here goes:
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.
