 That's a cool photo, Foxhound! But I don't want to burst your bubble when I inform you that there was (perhaps still is) a jaw-dropping YouTube video of what is likely an earlier First-MCC-Raid-Ever.
It was recorded shortly after the game was officially released (2012?).
Back then, AFK players were an epidemic that hadn't been addressed in the game yet. The AFK players literally camped out inside their MCC, and the rest of us on the ground knew it, and hated what they were doing.
A Dropship driver and his gunners decided to try something very riskyGǪ.
When the devs saw the vidoe of the result, they were so in love with the gutsy players who pulled it of, that they couldn't stop praising those crazy kids---the video was floor-rolling hilarious!!!!
I won't tell you the details, because there's a chance the video is still accessible, or that the Thread about it is still on this Forum somewhere. If you can find it, it will have you rolling!

Kudos to you for finding it, Jadek!!!
It is still the greatest Dust video for laughs. (I like Part 1 better than Part 2, but they are Oscar-winning!)

Redline boundaries changed over the years.
Back then, if you so much as dropped a fellow merc on the roof of the enemy MCC, it was considered a Red-boundary Violation, and the death clock started counting down.
That's what makes those players' in the video so valiant! They knew it was practically a suicide mission unless they were able to exit the MCC in time.
When we all saw this video, the thing we found MOST INCREDIBLE about the actions of the players in the MCC, is that THEY IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED TO THE ATTACK!
It revealed that MOST AFKers (Away-From-Keyboard) are NOT away from the controller at all!  They are SITTING right there! At the tv monitor, and just WATCHING, fully aware and conscious.
  While the rest of us down there on the ground were tryin'-n-dyin', the AFKers were all at their controllers just watching us and milking every second of the match.
AFKing was so ghoulish back then. It's why everybody CHEERED that video.
