OP, this is not a Halo style mission, at all.
"Wort wort wort, everyone, to the dinghies! Wort wort wort!"
When you can be dropped off anywhere, why would they drop off in the ocean, where they float on a gigantic sinkable target, to try to get somewhere that they could just be dropped off at in the first place?
If you'd like to play this mission, I recommend you buy a Call of Duty game.
same reason why we still do this kind of thing today maybe?
