Well, I agreed with you (past tense) It was horrible, everyone just sat in windows, killing anyone that dared to go into the center. I hated it.
Then my friend installed the game, and my brother was online as well. I sent them a quick steam "Hey, I'm going to be squad leader, spawn on me and lets go into enemy territory okay?"
They agreed and we went for it. Spawning in spawn 2 as russians, we advanced to the right side of the map, and crept up along the right buildings. I stayed behind sandbags/cover and kept throwing Smoke grenades when available. Well the rest of the squad did their own thing, my friend/bro and I kept shooting anyone that came out of the buildings, and effectively cut the supply of enemy soldiers.
Without the use of their windows (as you can't shoot something so close to the buildings) we were home free and had the upper hand, we even had all the snipers and MGs helping us. Whenever my friends died they would spawn right on me, and we'd continue our push. The enemies started to get wise and aim specifically at me. My friends would shoot them and get bonus points for "defending squad leader +1" or some such.
TL;DR
Fallen heroes is awesome if you actually use the squad leader mechanic to mobile spawn. Team work makes this map great. TWI has made an awesome game.
