The banshee into the hospital looks cool, but I think it would be very risky. All it would take is for one grunt to plasma pistol you and then stick you.In theory yes. But you're basically past the grunts in a few of seconds. The Jackals can and do PP you yes, but they've no stickies.
I'm still confused: how did you teleport outside the hospital?Notice that the Jetpack AAs in the crate disappeared just before I jumped out of the Banshee? The game was de-loading that area around me. It thought, since I was back in a vehicle, that I must be outside and flying around in the city again, so it should drop the hospital geometry and load the next area. I'm guessing the teleport effect is a left-over from a co-op safety net in case one player is still inside the hospital and the rest are on their way to the next objective. If you're still inside the Banshee when it de-loads, the teleport won't activate, and you'll get stuck, unable to move.

Do you all gather more than one PP before that wave attacks?Nope, only use one personally. What I do is use my DMR on the first wave, then as the wave ends and the second one is starting to come in, I run down and trade my DMR for a PP from one of the Jackals/Grunts that I've killed and then run back to the catwalk and wait for the hammer cheiftain.
Making sure, of course, that you've already made sure the DMR crate is safe.
You can sort of snipe the FRG chieftain using the horizontal gap in the middle of the sheet metal panels.
If thats really not working for you, you could always try grabbing the Hammer and taking it up close. Assuming you've cleared out his cronies first.
After the two cheiftains from the second wave are dead, and I have a little bit of breathing room, I go and grab a new DMR from the crate and juggle it back to the camp spot.
Do you save and quit and practice from the bit you died? I found that helped me a lot.

Very cool RC, i'm wondering if it would be best to grab a jetpack from the hospital while youre waiting and skyjack a banshee floating around outside (if there are any) to improve the time.
Depends a bit on what kind of side missions you get stuck with. If you got Jackals attacking troopers or something it could work, but if you got the mobile jammer one for example, you'd be dead.
