Hold the Line	comment	Love isn't always on time! Hold the Line is a type of Timed Mission, where instead of trying to complete an objective before time runs out, you have to prevent the enemy from completing their objective until time runs out. Usually their objective is "seize control of the area", so you are defending your base (or a certain character) until reinforcements arrive, the foe gives up, or vital repairs are carried out. Your Defense Need Not Protect You Forever. Sometimes the enemy is an overwhelming force, so actually defeating them, or even surviving much beyond the time limit, would be impossible. Fortunately for you, victory will usually occur instantly and automatically as soon as the time runs out, even if you were moments away from defeat. This is commonly used in Real-Time Strategy games, where success requires a balance between creating defensive structures and units to protect one's objective, and scouting out and eliminating enemy bases to reduce their number. It also crops up in First-Person Shooter games, where you often get to use mounted turrets sporting limitless ammo but poor heat management. Sometimes it might be linked to an Escort Mission, where the player has to escort someone to a location, and then protect them while they, for example, hack into the enemy's computer system. The midway between the Hold The Line and Escort Mission is Protection Mission. This mode of gameplay is popular for multiplayer games, usually with the teams switching after the attackers win or the timer runs out. In many cases, there are several lines, and the criteria for winning (if neither team manages to break through them all) are which team got further or which team got to the same line first. Strategy games of all kinds love this trope — there are very few that do not have an example of a Hold The Line mission. Fictionally, it is often a form of You Shall Not Pass! or Last Stand, but the goals differ. In the first, the objective is to save your friends. In the second, the goal is to defeat as many of the enemy as possible before being killed. In this trope, the objective is to stall for time. Tower Defense has this trope as its central gameplay element. It sometimes leads to a Victory by Endurance. Compare The Siege and Multi-Mook Melee. It is similar to and yet quite different from Holding the Floor; talking for a long period of time without pause. Not to be confused with waiting for someone else on the phone.

In Plague 12.7, Skitter's plan to tie up Mannequin with spider silk relies on doing this.

You can, however, "kill" it repeatedly for Terra boosts, unless you've already run out of Terra. Rex Cavalier in Segment 7 plays this trope straight at first, and then inverts it when the first timer runs out. Lost Property 771, the True Final Boss, can only be defeated via time-out. The Unnamed 771, the boss of the "The Way of All Flesh" extra stage, also cannot be defeated prematurely, as the entire stage is set to the music.

Hold the Line / int_1a567c4a	comment	AI War: Fleet Command: Going for the Spire Transceiver victory condition in this game and the sequel. Once you begin, a transmission to let the scattered Spire fleets regroup into a coherent fighting force in your area of the galaxy is initiated... one the AI is perfectly aware of. And it reacts appropriately by sending an utterly cataclysmic fleet pouring out of every nearby Warp Gate in order to crush you as fast as possible before they can arrive. Thus, before you begin, you must fortify every route, and the whole path to your homeworld, so that you can hold these tens and hundreds of thousands of ships at bay (with some giant Extragalactic War ships thrown in for flavor). This is naturally not easy; even at low Response Intensity the attack is bigger than anything you usually face in normal gameplay, and at high Intensity you can easily get 50+ thousand Strength pouring out into individual planets, with more trailing behind. You will lose multiple planets to this onslaught, and will very likely need to fend them off at the gates of your Homeworld. But if you hold out, the Imperial Spire will arrive with an even bigger fleet full of some of the strongest vessels in the game, and start stomping on everything the AI has at last.

Hold the Line / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter: The series goes in this direction when you fight certain gigantic monsters, namely the huge crab Shen Gaoren in Monster Hunter 2 (dos) and the even bigger dragon Lao-Shan Lung in the original Monster Hunter (and by extension the Ashen subspecies of the latter monster). Instead of hunting them like you do with other monsters, the creature shows up at one end of a linear area, and past multiple obstacles is a fort on the other end of the map. You have to prevent it from destroying the fort, by either killing it before the timer runs out, or repelling it by dealing enough damage that when the timer hits 0, it flees. If you run out of time before damaging the monster enough, get knocked out three times, or let the fort get destroyed, you lose. Monster Hunter 3 (Tri): The Jhen Mohran fight is a two-parter. The first involves chasing and causing whatever damage you can to it on your Dragonship, and the second is this trope. Again, if you clock out before hitting the "repel" damage threshold, you expire your faint tally, or the Dragonship is destroyed, you fail. It's possible, however unlikely, that the Dragonship will be wrecked on the first phase; hope your team isn't that sloppy. The fight against the Hallowed subspecies in 3 Ultimate and against Dah'ren Mohran in Monster Hunter 4 both operate this same way. Monster Hunter: Rise has Rampage Quests, in which you are tasked with protecting the gate to Kamura Village from an entire horde of monsters using a variety of weapon installations such as ballistae and cannons, with backup from the people of the village. As long as the gate doesn't fall, the monsters will turn tail when the wave's timer runs out, if you don't wipe them out first.

Hold the Line / int_1f7d1392	comment	Unreal II: The Awakening has several missions where the objective is to hold off enemy incursions with the help of forcefields, turrets, and in some cases, AI fighters: In "Swamp", your objective is to help a team of marines fend off the Skaarj and their Izarian slaves until the TCA Atlantis comes to your aid. In "Kalydon", your ship is undergoing repairs, and Liandri has targeted it. You need to hold off five waves of Liandri assassins. The player is provided turrets and forcefields for the first time in the game. The second level on Sulferon involves you and four marines protecting a technician from Izanagi Ghost Warriors. The last level set on Janus requires you and four Marines to protect a (very annoying) scientist from (again) Liandri assassins. This instance is a combination of Kalydon and Sulferon in that you have both Marines and deployable equipment. In the "Avalon" level set once you collect all the Artifact pieces, you're required to protect a TCA engineer from Skaarj assassins while he restores the power station, the consequence for letting him die being a Non-Standard Game Over. You're given a Widowmaker Sniper Rifle to help him from a distance. Later in the level, you and a squad of marines defend your position from waves of attacking Skaarj.

A floating bladed spinning top floats around the battlefield. The boss will open up if hit by the top and then take damage once hit by it again. However, unlike most other cases of holding the line, Sonic can speed up the battle by opening it up himself, though he will still need to make it attack itself.

The Blazing Blade: The fourth mission has you protecting an injured woman from bandits in a crumbling building. In "Talons Alight", Eubans's mercenaries are attacking Castle Laus after you took it and you have to defend the throne for 7 turns. In "Pirate Ship", the Black Fang is attacking your boat and you have to survive until the captain shows up and mops the floor with the enemy. It's possible to end the mission early by killing the boss. In "Kinship's Bond", you have to prevent Eubans's mercenaries from killing Nils for 11 turns, or until you kill the enemy commander. In "Unfulfilled Heart", you need to survive the onslaught from Vaida's squad for 11 turns. In "Battle Before Dawn", you need to prevent the Black Fang from killing Prince Zephiel for 15 turns. In "Sands of Time", you have to protect the throne of Castle Ostia from the morphs until reinforcements arrive. 11 turns. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: The goal of Chapter 13 of Eirika's route is to survive long enough for Rausten's reinforcements to arrive. Alternatively, you can kill the enemy commander to end the mission prematurely (the game rewards you for doing so with an item, but if you're too quick defeating him you can miss out on a recruitable character). Chapter 19 consists of defending a castle during Fog of War, much like a similar mission in the seventh game. You can end the mission early by killing the boss, but then you might not have enough time to loot all the treasure from the chests scattered around the map. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn has a literal hold the line chapter, in which there is a thin blue line that your Lord cannot cross (your Lord receives a long-range magic spell to make up for this) and no enemies can be allowed to cross - this becomes rather annoying when enemies that can fly appear - since you never have enough people to cover every block of the line, you often fail the chapter when one of the hawks decides to attack one of the people holding the line, causing a Game Over instantly, when the hawk in question has 1HP left. Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest has a hold the line chapter where the player must prevent Hoshidan forces from passing through a line of spaces that are highlighted green for 11 turns. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Lorenz, Ashe/Catherine, and Anna/Jeritza's paralogues all require you to survive for several turns. This type of mission is added in an update in Fire Emblem Heroes. To prevent the mission from ending early, one unit possesses a seal that nullifies damage inflicted on them, and reinforcements appear. The mode is seen proper in the release of Chapter 10, during the formal introduction of Tellian heroes.

You and your company join the garrison (about 150-250 men) on the walls as the attacking army (usually at least seven hundred-strong with at least six lords leading it) spawn outside in several waves and attempt to kill everyone inside. With a combination of careful positioning and shooting the attackers while they're climbing the ladders, you can kill all six attack waves. If you do, you win, and then you have to deal with the problem of being in command of a severely depleted garrison that is now impossible to escape from.

The first is a mission where the party must assist other NPCs in battling Shadow Monsters while a scout is rescued off camera. If any NPCs die, the mission fails (but players can heal them, and taking out the Archers that can deal permanent HP damage first increases your chances of success tenfold). The second is called Tailltean Defensive Battle, and requires a party of 3-6 players to split up and defend the city's three gates from wave after wave of monsters for about 16 real world minutes. If too many monsters spawn, or they break the gate controls at any one gate, mission failed.

Hold the Line / int_3277eea2	comment	The Battle for Middle-earth: The series is filled with missions of this type. Two classic examples are Helm's Deep and the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Somewhat subverted in that trying to hold your ground on the walls at Helm's Deep like they did in the movies is actually the worst possible strategy you can use. Sallie parties of cavalry can easily wipe out the enemy attack waves before they even make it to the walls and your relatively pathetic infantry. The Battle for Middle-Earth 2 and its Expansion Pack, The Rise of the Witch-king, have missions like this also. The vanilla BFME 2 has missions of this type in Rivendell, Mithlond (the Grey Havens), and Erebor. In the Rivendell mission, you help Elrond repel a goblin attack force (since this is the first mission of the campaign, this is easier than it sounds). In Mithlond, you begin by pushing the Corsairs out of the area, only for the enemy reinforcements to arrive once you have done so, and they attack in three waves, each more powerful than the last. Finally, the Erebor mission involves Dain II Ironfoot leading the dwarves of Erebor and the men of Dale against three waves of troops: a horde of orcs, an army of Easterlings and Haradrim, and a final army of trolls. ROTWK has only one mission of this type: at Carn Dum. The elves of Rivendell, Mithlond, and Lorien amass an army and launch an all-out attack on the Witch-king's capital. Rogash and Morgomir are coming with reinforcements, but you must survive long enough for them to bring help.

The "Bright Lights, Flying City" mission in ends with the player(s) having to defend a beacon in order to establish a fast-travel link to Sanctuary. You're doing this while Handsome Jack does everything he can to stop you, throwing endless Hyperion robots your way. It's one of the hardest missions in the game whether you're playing solo or in a group; the enemies are as relentless as they are numerous. One mission has you defending a Hyperion supply drop that landed in Slab bandit territory, with the help of some Slabs. In this case, there's a set number of enemies that Hyperion throws at you, but unlike in the above example (where you can repair the beacon if it's damaged and continue the mission), this mission is over if the supply drop takes just a few hits, and the last, most powerful enemies spawn just a few steps away from being able to hit it.

In Half-Life 2: Episode One, the developer's commentary at one point says that they specifically didn't include this sort of situation, because it just looked "robotic" to have her either just sit there and take the abuse from the Combine or zombies, or stop what she was doing to fight back and then start all over again. Any HL2 player's hatred for the pesky turret guns that fall over if you look at them wrong will be raised to the power of itself after the level in Nova Prospekt, where they are hacked to be on your side and need to be used to keep the baddies at bay. The hacking does not improve their stability.

These Red Shirts successfully held them off until reinforcements arrive, said reinforcements include Kyril, Claudia, and company. A villainous example occurs in Chapter 26, where the rebels under Grishom's command hold off the Eostian forces to defend him and his cathedral. From Grishom's narration, he's expecting Mandeville to support him any time soon, but in reality, this scenario would not even be an Instant-Win Condition, if one considers that they are fighting against Sir Kyril the Bloody. To add insult to injury, Kyril and his company deployed a tactic of setting the cathedral aflame to smoke the rebels out, only for them to be trapped within the cordon of Eostian forces. It goes without saying that the rebels are screwed in the end, with no reinforcements to save them.

Of course, they also activate skulls as you complete rounds and sets. Getting one of the seven Vidmaster achievements (you need all seven to unlock the Recon armor for multiplayer matches in Halo 3) requires a four player team to finish the fourth set on Heroic difficulty (which is easier than the first version, which required getting though the seventh set on Legendary. Good thing it was changed before release). A Firefight game ends in one of two ways: Everybody leaves, or everybody dies (or someone without a 360 hard drive, which is needed to play co-op, joins the game and causes it to abort). Later games' Firefight modes are similar, except you actually can win.

Hold the Line / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV At the end of the post-A Realm Reborn storyline, a massive dragon is marching down the bridge to Ishgard, known as the Steps of Faith, with numerous smaller dragons supporting it. The player's goal is to stop the dragon from breaking through the lines of defense. Though currently a solo instanced battle, it was formerly an 8-man Trial, and was unique trial in that it's one of the few (if not the only) ones a fallen character can respawn in without having to be raised by another player, and its one of the few (again, if not the only) ones where you can outright fail the Trial if the dragon breaks through the last line of defense. At the end of the post-Stormblood storyline, you enter a "Roleplaying" solo instance where you control Hien, facing off with Elidibus in the body of Zenos yae Galvus. Hien and his allies all know that either of these individuals alone has proven impossible for anyone but the Warrior of Light to defeat, and so his job is to make sure that the enemy is still here for you to fight.

The time-travel dungeon Black Morass and the magic prison known as the Violet Hold both are Hold The Line missions, while other dungeons have segments that work this way. Not to forget the latest PvP additions, Strand of the Ancients and Lake Wintergrasp. In both cases, one side defends a keep against the other, but the previous one is played in two rounds, swapping the roles much like in the FPS mode it's rather obviously inspired by. In a very straight example of the escort mission followed by protecting your charge while he hacks into a computer variant, the Halls of Stone instance has you escort Brann Bronzebeard to the Titan mainframe and defend him from waves of mobs that attack as part of the security system while he tries to break through it.

The first is a standard covert operative extraction where you have to protect transmitter and encoder from the EXALT organization. You basically end up fighting a running battle as EXALT troops swarm the objective area and try to hack the encoder and destroy the transmitter. The second mission is a one-off Base Defense mission where an XCOM squad, supplemented by Base Defense troops, must fight off half a dozen waves of increasingly angrier and more powerful aliens as they try to overwhelm XCOM's headquarters.

Hold the Line / int_5bd0554b	comment	Warcraft III has four five of these missions during the "Reign Of Chaos" campaign missions. The first time against an upset sea witch in the extended version of the tutorial. The Orcs had to hold the line against a horde of Murlocks while their ships were being fixed. The 5th Alliance mission has defending a town for 30 minutes against the Undead until your allies arrive. The last Undead mission has you defending Kel'Thuzad for 30 minutes as he completes a ritual to summon Archimonde and the Burning Legion. The final Night Elf mission pits you and your allies against the Burning Legion for 45 minutes to let Malfurion complete his Deus ex Machina. Some fan maps are centered about this trope, often with two teams of players trying to hold out as long as possible while trying to sabotage the other teams efforts (and in some cases, summoning the enemies). One lesser known map of this type goes by the exact name of this trope. The secret mission in The Frozen Throne involves a Tower Defense mini-game where you hold off up to forty-five waves of increasingly dangerous enemies with increasingly powerful towers; if you succeed, you get a special bonus hero in the next mission. The first Scourge mission in The Frozen Throne uses an inversion of the trope. You are keeping your opponents from escaping while you hunt down and destroy their bases of operation. If twenty or more humans escape, you lose. Another inversion is in the second-to-last Night Elf mission in The Frozen Throne, where the Naga try to hold the line for 30 minutes until Illidan's spell is completed, and your task is to break the line and thwart them. And it's even apparent in cutscenes. In the Frozen Throne Night Elf Escort Mission, Tyrande attempted to hold the bridge against the Undead forces using her Ultimate, only to have the said bridge collapse (Which was actually intentional).

Each of these missions have a twist. Defense alerts make you protect a defenseless artifact for a certain number of waves (between 10 and 20). A wave is defeated when all the enemies in it are dead. Infestation invasions are similar, except that the enemy are a Zerg Expy. Survival Alerts have you kill enemies to loot Life Support modules from them to extend the time you can survive, each enemy killed having a chance to drop life support, and each life support module giving you roughly 7 seconds of time. You start with 150 seconds, and can never go above that. Regularly, big life support capsules are delivered by your Mission Control, giving you 45 seconds of survival once activated. You must last 10, 15, or 20 minutes. The twist is, reaching the benchmark is not the Instant-Win Condition like in most games: you must reach extraction for it to count as a win (if playing in a group, at least 1 person must reach extraction alive to give completion rewards to all the group). Excavation alerts have you go to locations where extractors are extracting a resource called Cryotic. They start with 50 seconds worth of power, and need 100 seconds to finish their jobs. Each second they stay active (up until 100) gives you 1 cryotic. You can give them power cells (looted from enemies) give them 20 extra seconds. When you have extracted 500 cryotics... You don't get an Instant-Win Condition, you have to reach the extraction point. The enemies will attack the extractors though, so you have to defend them. Regular Defense have you protecting a defenseless artifact. There are 3 pools of rewards (A, B and C). killing 5 waves gives you a random reward from pool A, and you have a choice as whether to extract (and keep the rewards) or keep fighting (risking the rewards you already had for more). After wave 10, you gain another reward from pool A, and you get to choose wether to extract or stay. 15 waves, one reward from pool B and another choice of staying vs extracting. 20 waves, a reward from pool C, and another choice between extraction and battle. Then the cycle repeats: 25 waves, and a third A reward. Mobile Defense mission have you carry a datamass to hack terminals. Hacking each terminal takes anywhere between 1 and 3 minutes, but the enemy would rather destroy the terminals than let you get away with the data, so you have to protect them. Regular excavation follow an AABC cycle of rewards similar to defense, only you have to protect extractors for 100 seconds of activation to get rewards, and they still start at 50 seconds and thus need at least 3 power cells to get you rewards. And lastly, regular Survival have you survive as long as you can like survival alerts, only they have an AABC cycle of rewards for every 5 minutes you manage to survive.

First the military ships hold the line so the civilians can escape, then Geary's ship holds the line so the other military ships can escape, finally Geary starts controlling his ship single-handedly so the rest of the crew can evacuate. The worst part is that, after waking up from cryosleep a century later, Geary learns that his actions have been warped and twisted by Alliance propaganda into a glorious charge at the enemy forces in a "damn the torpedoes" manner. This was to get the officers to accept the new battle style of charging at the enemy guns blazing without any adequate fleets tactics in play. In the Genesis Fleet prequel trilogy, Geary's ancestor Robert has to do pretty much the same at least once per book, since he's almost always outnumbered and/or outgunned. He maneuvers all over the system to keep the enemy from getting to the planet while staying out of their line of fire and keeping them busy. In the second book, Melee Darcy does the same with her Space Marines aboard an orbital station while a ship is being repaired.

You and a wounded partner attempt to defend a landing zone next to the famous Ferris wheel near Chernobyl. Another example immediately follows in the same game as the player's squad running a small retreat action to hold a landing zone for extraction, hitting the seemingly infinite enemy forces as they fall back. After taking out four tanks (not bad for a special ops squad of six), they are then told that the LZ has been moved... to the area they've just let the enemy overrun, forcing the squad to go from Hold The Line to Attack The Line, breaking through the enemy's heavy defenses to make it to the LZ. Gaz was pissed. Widely considered the Scrappy Level, more so than "One Shot".

Two instances are awesome — one has you holding your castle against waves of synths teleporting in, the other has you holding against a Vertibird air assault by troops wearing Power Armor, a mere minute after you downed their airship headquarters with an artillery bombardment. The other Hold The Line missions are repeating radiant quests in which you must personally defend a random settlement from attack. Even if you have set up strong defenses for that settlement, these missions will fail, with loss of life and expensive property damage unless you are physically present while the last attacker goes down. Also, during the climactic Institute quest, "Airship Down", you have to fend of the Brotherhood of Steel's Elite Mooks and commanding officers, including Elder Maxson and possibly Paladin Danse, while the synths reprogram Liberty Prime to turn against the Brotherhood and destroy the Prydwen, sending it crashing down on their ground base.

Heir to the Throne: In "Blackwater Port", Konrad's side must help Sir Kaylan defend the port from the orcs until the turn limit runs out, when a literal cavalry arrive and make the orcs retreat. You can defeat the orcs yourself and gets a bonus though. "The Valley of Death" has the heroes surrounded by powerful groups of undead and they need to hold off the undeads for two days.

Or destroy the generators using magical units to finish the scenario early. In "Human Alliance" from Legend of Wemere, Kalenz's elves help the humans of Wesnoth defend Tath from the orcs until turns run out. Once turns run out, King Haldric II arrives with reinforcement and makes the orcs retreat. Son of the Black Eye: In "Clash of Armies", Kapou'e must defend Prestim from an alliance of humans, elves, and dwarves for four days until The Great Horde arrive and makes the enemy retreat. In "The Human Attack", Earl Lanbec'h wants to take back Dorest from Kapou'e, so Kapou'e and his army have to hold off the humans. When time runs out, Howgarth III of Northern Aliiance suddenly arrives and calls for both sides to parlay. In "A Stirring in the Night" from Under the Burning Suns, two groups of undead magically appear at night to fight each other, putting the elves camp in danger. The elves must defend themselves from the undeads (and a sudden orc raid) until dawn. Northern Rebirth: In "An Old Friend", Tallin's side faces a massive orc army which will only grow bigger if you try to be aggresive. You only need to survive until the turn limit runs out and Tallin will decide to retreat. A popular online maptype in the multiplayer mode is the "Survival" game, in which players cooperate against waves of themed enemies. Such scenarios that are mainline are "A New Land" (where you are declared winners once turn 25), "Isle of Mists" and "Dark Forecast" (where you win once all waves are defeated).

You cannot use your sword to defeat them, so you have to be skilled with your bow to succeed (and also keep an eye on your ammunition of arrows). A mission that occurs after that requires you to protect milk jars from a pair of muggers while riding on a covered wagon so it can be delivered to Milk Bar in Clock Town. If you manage to complete both missions, you are rewarded with Romani's Mask. Skyward Sword has a villanous example, as Ghirahim sends a horde of Bokoblins to try to hold the line against you, as he finishes casting a spell to suck Zelda's spirit out of her body and give it to his master. When you tear through the lot of them anyway, Ghirahim decides to deal with you himself. Breath of the Wild allows the player to come across the Akkala Citadel, where the last of Hyrule's knights and soldiers gathered for a last stand against the Guardians after the deaths of the King and the Champions. Sadly, they were quickly overrun and slaughtered. 100 years later, the area is overrun with Blight and has flying Guardians patrolling the base of the tower. Tears of the Kingdom: During the questline involving the ongoing main problem in Gerudo Desert, Link must repel the incoming Gibdos, which attempt to overrun Gerudo Town. This requires a prior preparation with Link indicating the placement of the Gerudo soldiers as well as the artillery in the entrance gates to the town. During the raid, Link must destroy the roots that are sending the Gibdos and then get rid of whichever mooks remain. If Riju is seized at any point by any of them, the mission ends with a Non-Standard Game Over.

Hold the Line / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The multiplayer has a bunch of these for their objective games, notably Capture the Flag, which is what you think it is; Assault, which involves one team trying to bomb the other; Land Grab/Territories, which fits this trope to a tee as it involves holding parts of the map to stop the other team from capturing it; and Warzone Assault, where one team has to defend its bases from taken by the other one. The single player campaigns have several examples of this too; for example, parts of the second and third missions of Halo: Combat Evolved, the last part of "Sacred Icon" in Halo 2, defending the Outpost in "Winter Contingency" in Halo: Reach, waiting for the elevator in "Exodus" in Reach, and defending the Package in the eponymous mission from (again) Reach. This is Halo 3: ODST's Firefight mode in a nutshell. 5 waves of enemies in a round, 3 rounds in a set, infinite sets in a game. Of course, they also activate skulls as you complete rounds and sets. Getting one of the seven Vidmaster achievements (you need all seven to unlock the Recon armor for multiplayer matches in Halo 3) requires a four player team to finish the fourth set on Heroic difficulty (which is easier than the first version, which required getting though the seventh set on Legendary. Good thing it was changed before release). A Firefight game ends in one of two ways: Everybody leaves, or everybody dies (or someone without a 360 hard drive, which is needed to play co-op, joins the game and causes it to abort). Later games' Firefight modes are similar, except you actually can win.

In Grunt's sidequest, his Rite of Passage to join a clan consists of Holding the Holy Site against several waves of enemies.

The Downloadable Content Arrival has this as a sort of Optional Boss: Holding the line against five large waves of exceptionally intelligent attackers and one Mini-Boss. If you 'die', you get taken hostage and the story continues. But if you succeed, you'll get an achievement, plus the attacker's fearful cries of how unstoppable you are. (And then you get knocked out by an energy blast and taken hostage anyways.) Mordin (who used to work with Kirrahe) uses this as an infrequent catchphrase. If you let him get killed, it's even his last words. When you first mention Kirrahe to Mordin, the good doctor mentions how he did find the speeches somewhat stirring ... if excessive.

Kirrahe repeatedly "reiterates the importance of holding the line," despite the fact that there is no line, and if there was it wouldn't need to be held.

Somewhat subverted in that the Normandy will arrive the moment you run out of ammunition instead of having to hold out for a set time. Double subverted by the fact that you can abuse a particular build (Soldier class, no weapons, spam concussive shot) to hold out nearly indefinitely. The Normandy still comes to pick you up anyway. The second time occurs on the salarian homeworld Sur'Kesh. Your goal here is to guard the female krogan against enemy Cerberus soldiers. The final battle of the trilogy is a particuarly difficult Hold The Line mission pitting you against a horde of Brutes, Banshees, assorted other forces and a Reaper destroyer with a one-hit-kill Thannix cannon, while your friendly AI upgrades a missile battery's automated targetting to hit the Reaper's weak point. (Sound familiar?) Fortunately, if you're clever, you can manipulate the Reaper into firing on its own troops, annihilating them and sparing you some grief. All multiplayer missions end with one of these as you wait for extraction from the area. It's easy to get overwhelmed though, so the best strategy is to play most of the wave normally and then run for the extraction zone at the last possible moment.

There was at least one mission in the original BioShock where you had to defend a location without moving. One example is the lab defense sequence in Arcadia, where you have to fend off a Splicer assault while the Lazarus Vector is prepared for dispersal. Another is defending Little Sisters while they harvest Adam in the penultimate level of the game. The final "boss battle" Bioshock Infinite requires you to defend the power core on Comstock's flagship while using the Booker-controlled Songbird to destroy the entire Vox Populi armada.

A slight Unexpected Gameplay Change ensues, since you fight them off on the field (read: in real-time) as opposed to the traditional Starforce method of turn-based battling things to death. You can fight each one individually using the traditional method if you have far too much time on your hands, since killing each one individually takes much longer than wiping them out on the field, and eventually becomes both overwhelming and generally a waste of time.

There is a DLC mission in Pinnacle Station where you take on a virtual simulation of a mission one of your commanders once did, which involves you waiting for 5 minutes fighting off wave after wave of enemies. In the War Hero background, Shepard does this and single-handedly fends off the entire Skyllian Blitz. There's also a mission on the planet Nepmos where your squad has to hold off several waves of Brainwashed and Crazy rachni in conjunction with a fireteam of Alliance Marines. You can do it either on foot or in your Awesome Personnel Carrier. Mass Effect 2: The Archangel recruitment mission has you and your squad fend off an army of mercenaries trying to kill the local Vigilante Man. While trying to save the town on Horizon, you must Hold the Communications Tower while yout friendly AI repairs the automated defenses. In Grunt's sidequest, his Rite of Passage to join a clan consists of Holding the Holy Site against several waves of enemies. The final foe is a thresher maw that you must merely survive against for a certain time, but if you manage to kill it, it nets you and Grunt much prestige. The Downloadable Content Arrival has this as a sort of Optional Boss: Holding the line against five large waves of exceptionally intelligent attackers and one Mini-Boss. If you 'die', you get taken hostage and the story continues. But if you succeed, you'll get an achievement, plus the attacker's fearful cries of how unstoppable you are. (And then you get knocked out by an energy blast and taken hostage anyways.) Mordin (who used to work with Kirrahe) uses this as an infrequent catchphrase. If you let him get killed, it's even his last words. When you first mention Kirrahe to Mordin, the good doctor mentions how he did find the speeches somewhat stirring ... if excessive. It's mentioned that "hold the line" is one of Kirrahe's favorite things to spout out. Parodied in the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, which includes dossiers on all the crew. Mordin's has a mission summary where he works with Kirrahe. Kirrahe repeatedly "reiterates the importance of holding the line," despite the fact that there is no line, and if there was it wouldn't need to be held.

In Apocalypse, you actually take the fight to the enemy after a while (however, mostly you'll be holding the line at home while you carry out covops-style missions in the alien dimension. And the only way to actually win is to destroy the one last buildings the aliens have — and you can't skip buildings). In X-COM: Interceptor you are delaying the construction of a planet destroyer weapon designed to eliminate Earth (which is out of reach for the player). In UFO Extraterrestrials, you are holding the line to prevent the alien mothership which is parked near Earth (the game itself is set on a far away colony of Esperanza) from refuelling after being attacked by Earths La RÃ©sistance. Again, in the end you go and kick their ass. Most of the time though, you are fighting against better equipped and numerous aliens which are out of your reach.

The main game also has you hold the line against Super Mutant attacks during Stealing Independence and after Big Trouble in Big Town. Point Lookout has the defense of the Calvert Mansion from the Tribals, who not only attack in large numbers, but are Made of Iron and bypass damage resistance with their weapons. The same DLC has a sidequest that consists entirely of fighting off countless hordes of Feral Ghouls in a cave arena. Fallout: New Vegas There is a part of Boone's companion quest where you defend Bitter Springs from about three or four waves of Legionaries and their attack dogs. Lonesome Road has this with the Marked Men in Ulysses' Temple at the end of the quest. The extremely popular "Someguy Series" of mods have this more or less as their Signature Style; the author himself has said that he's incapable of writing a mod without at least one. Given how ludicrously awesome they tend to be, no-one's complaining. The cancelled mod The Siege of Firebase Zulu, by the same author, was intended to be a gigantic one of these, but sadly, work on it was cancelled in late 2013. Fallout 4 has you doing this with the Minutemen a lot! Two instances are awesome — one has you holding your castle against waves of synths teleporting in, the other has you holding against a Vertibird air assault by troops wearing Power Armor, a mere minute after you downed their airship headquarters with an artillery bombardment. The other Hold The Line missions are repeating radiant quests in which you must personally defend a random settlement from attack. Even if you have set up strong defenses for that settlement, these missions will fail, with loss of life and expensive property damage unless you are physically present while the last attacker goes down. Also, during the climactic Institute quest, "Airship Down", you have to fend of the Brotherhood of Steel's Elite Mooks and commanding officers, including Elder Maxson and possibly Paladin Danse, while the synths reprogram Liberty Prime to turn against the Brotherhood and destroy the Prydwen, sending it crashing down on their ground base.

The Durant Mill and Rhyperior Mill decks in PokÃ©mon Trading Card Game are an examples: one of the win conditions is to take all of your Prize Cards, which you earn by knocking out your opponent's PokÃ©mon. These mill decks do pitiful, inconsequential attack damage, so the intended focus is to not let your opponent take all their Prize Cards, as you will win once their deck runs out, no matter how large the Prize Card deficit may be.

Hold the Line / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Battles involving King Elizabello are usually this on Elizabello's side. He has a Charged Attack, the King Punch, that requires a very long amount of time, ranging from hours to entire days depending on his intended output, and he cannot be interrupted during then. Once unleashed, it can destroy a castle at minimum or level an entire city at its strongest. As a result, his allies work to prevent enemies from reaching Elizabello until he can execute his King Punch, especially if a battle requires more than one. The climax of the Dressrosa arc boils down to the country's citizens, the Marines, the Corrida Colosseum gladiators, the Tontatta Tribe and the Straw Hat Pirates holding off Doflamingo's Birdcage through whatever means available, with every ounce of strength they can muster, until Luffy can finish him off, or else the entire country will be painted red. The end of the Whole Cake Island Arc involves Germa 66 (who owe the Straw Hats a debt) and the Sun Pirates holding back the Big Mom Pirates' massive fleet long enough for the Straw Hats to escape Big Mom's territory. Jinbe stays behind to assist his former subordinates in fighting back the nigh endless waves of enemy ships, but later regroups with the Straw Hats in Wano once he's ensured their safety.

Hold the Line / int_a2933316	comment	Iron Marines has a good number of them, several of which are Protection Missions: The end of Mission 1, "First Contact" has you hold a resource point from aliens. It's extremely simple and serves more of a tutorial mission. The end of Mission 2, "Distress Call" has you hold a resource point from a neverending stream of aliens until the timer runs up. Thankfully, you have a Drop Turret to help you whittle down the enemies. Once you capture the three main bases and generators in Mission 4, "Unto the Breach", you will need to defend all three from alien attack for 2 minutes so that they can power up a cannon and destroy the lot. The Special Ops Mission "Uninvited Guests" requires that you prevent the aliens from reaching the teleporter in the center. You need to defend for three waves, and the mission is failed if more than six aliens touch the teleporter in the center. The Special Ops Mission "Emergency Frequency" requires that you prevent a massive incoming stream of aliens from destroying your main base at the other side of the map. The Special Ops Mission "Darkest Hour" requires that you defend the soldiers in three different areas from alien attack, until each group is able to teleport away. Made more difficult as the only unit you have deployed is your Hero Unit, but easier by the fact that your drop turret's recharge time is greatly increased. The Special Ops Mission "In Brightest Day" requires that you defend two power cores near the center of the map from enemies attacking from multiple directions. Fortunately, you have some defenses set up as well as troops deployed to assist you. Mission 9, "Eye Contact" has you capture and hack an enemy defense system, before having to defend it from unending streams of incoming Mecha-Mooks for 7 minutes. Mission 12, "Overclocking" requires that you defend your main base at one end of the zone from Mecha-Mooks arriving from other areas of the zone for 10 minutes. You'll need to defend the consoles around the area too, because if the robots reach them, they'll open up bridges that grant them easier access to your main base. For the first 5 minutes, things are relatively simple, but the next 5 minutes makes things more dicey when the enemies start spawning from an area that's very close to your main base.

This is repeated when you fight Kaguya and Eirin, or just Kaguya, in Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night. If you faced Kaguya, then once you reach this stage, you've already won. Many extra stage bosses have similar attacks as either their penultimate or finishing spell cards. There are a lot of these; the fandom likes to call them Survival Cards. EX-bosses and final bosses tend to have them the most often, although Stage 4 bosses Aya (Mountain of Faith) and Murasa (Undefined Fantastic Object) have one each to compensate for the fact that they have a fixed spell lineup rather than a variable one, which was customary until then.

There's no onscreen countdown timer, however. Rather, the conveyor belt Sonic runs on slowly grinds down the floor beneath Dr. Eggman, and once the floor becomes too thin, Eggman flees and stops the conveyor belt, allowing Sonic to proceed. The boss in Carnival Night Act 1 in Sonic 3 & Knuckles can destroy itself after a set amount of time (again, with no countdown timer). A floating bladed spinning top floats around the battlefield. The boss will open up if hit by the top and then take damage once hit by it again. However, unlike most other cases of holding the line, Sonic can speed up the battle by opening it up himself, though he will still need to make it attack itself. The Egg Cauldron in Sonic Unleashed's Tornado Defense Act 1 will fall out of the sky once the onscreen timer reaches 0, though it does have an HP gauge and can thus be defeated the normal way. The Egg Cauldron in Tornado Defense Act 2 is a Timed Mission, however, and will One-Hit Kill Sonic and Tails if the timer reaches 0.

This means that, in addition to his forces exchanging the "And They Shall Know No Fear" special rule for the "Stubborn" special rule, all Sternguard Veterans (Elites) gain the "Hold The Line" special rule, allowing them to hold objectives like other Troops. This is drawn from the Battle of Rynn's World, the Crimson Fists' homeworld; while under siege from an ork WAAAGH!!!, a catastrophic failure by an anti-ship missile caused their fortress and most of the Chapter to get nuked into oblivion. Kantor rallied the survivors (exact numbers aren't stated, but it was anywhere from two hundred to sixteen Space Marines, out of a thousand-strong Chapter) and managed to hold for eighteen months against millions of orks before Imperial reinforcements arrived to drive off the Greenskins. It's also the calling card and rallying cry of the Imperial Guard, particularly Cadian regiments. Paired with the army receiving the Overshadowed By Adeptus Astartes treatment in fluff, this has led to the sardonic fan joke: "The Imperial Guard. It's a thankless job, but if you're willing to stand your ground and give it your all... you just might be able to buy enough time for the Space Marines to take all the credit." In the deep lore of 40k there was Ollanius Pius. A regular old human Imperial Guardsman who was accidentally teleported onto the Chaos flagship at the end of the Horus Heresy, who not only managed to avoid being killed immediately, but then stood up to the superhuman, power armour clad, chaos warped Primarch Horus, after Horus had knocked The Emperor to the floor in combat. Pius held the line as the Emperor tried to regain his sense, and was soul flayed with a glance. He did no damage to Horus, but it allowed the Emperor to realise there was truly no hope left for Horus to regain his humanity, and The Emperor rose again and defeated the heretical traitor. As is usual for Games Workshop, they couldn't help but ruin something and destroy it's meaning, as they continued to muck around with this piece of lore, making them a Space Marine Terminator, a member of the elite Custodes, and also turning Pius into a special immortal being. The Tau, who are usually against this tactic. A world in the Farsight Enclaves is being nommed by the Tyranids, but a hidden base on the world is full of Earth Caste scientists working on a way to beat the hive. Farsight starts the evacuation but the swarm discover the lab. What results is a truly epic Last Stand where eight fully decked-out battlesuits (six Crisis, one Broadside and one Riptide) containing Farsight and his bodyguards holding off an entire swarm of Tyranids on their own to buy time for the scientists to escape with the secret weapon, which soon reveals itself: it's a biotoxin which causes the entire hive to rot and drop dead. The Siege of Terra was this from the perspective of the defenders: they simply couldn't defeat the attacking traitor forces themselves, but they knew that the Ultramarines Legion were on their way to break the siege. They even had propaganda leaflets for their conscript forces to the tune that "Lord Guilliman is coming".

Hold the Line / int_bd41836e	comment	StarCraft had you defend a Terran base against a Zerg rush as the third mission. Being the third mission, your opponent isn't as well defended as expected, and a good player can wipe them off the map before the time runs out, instead of defending. Some lines removed from the final version suggested that was the intention. The Expanded Universe novel Speed of Darkness justifies the apparent lack of enemies. A group of Confederate Marines fought a Last Stand in another area of Mar Sara at the same time that you were fighting the third mission, diverting mass quantities of Zerg away from you. The fourth Zerg mission in the original campaign has you repel Terran forces for 15 minutes until the chrysalis opens. Once Kerrigan comes out, it reverts to a regular mission. Like in the Frozen Throne example, the third-to-last Zerg mission plays with this. The two Protoss bases are trying to have Dark Templar try to escape through clearly-marked beacons (If one escapes, you lose), and you have to destroy said bases. However, the beacons have to remain guarded, so you need to hold the line against particular units while launching attacks. The second-to-last original Zerg mission fits this trope, holding off a Protoss attack as you harvest from the Khaydarin Crystal Formation. The crystal formation is in the middle of three different Protoss tribes, each fully equipped with Carriers, Reavers and High Templars. You have to hold your base at the formation for ten minutes. That is, unless you only send a drone to the crystals AFTER you destroy the Protoss bases, in which it's just waiting until the timer runs out. The final mission in Brood War's Protoss campaign is a version of this: you have to get your two hero units to a structure, then they go inside it, then you have to defend that structure until the task is complete. Like the Zerg mission above, this is rather easy to bypass by taking out the Zerg bases one at a time before starting the countdown. Doing so however, is a challenge.

In the first mission of the main campaign, you need to defend the Atlantean docks from raiding pirates until the main Atlantian army arrives. At that point, you use the army to kill the last of the attackers. In the first half of the sixth mission, you need to protect your base until your villagers build the Trojan Horse. In the eleventh mission, you need to protect your base until your villagers excavate the sword of the Guardian. In the final part of the twenty-third mission, you must protect the Dwarven Forge against the giant attacks until time runs out. In the thirtieth mission, you need to protect your base against the attacks of Gargarensis until Odysseus arrives with his enormous army. You need to actually go on the offensive and kill "Gargarensis" in order to complete the mission, but with such a huge army at your disposal, it's just a formality.. In the ninth mission of the expansion, you must delay the Norse Titan until the timer runs out, at which point the Nidhogg arrives and can be used to kill him. In the twelfth and final mission of the expansion, you must protect at least one of Gaia's summoning trees until the summoning can be complete.

You and a wounded partner attempt to defend a landing zone next to the famous Ferris wheel near Chernobyl. Another example immediately follows in the same game as the player's squad running a small retreat action to hold a landing zone for extraction, hitting the seemingly infinite enemy forces as they fall back. After taking out four tanks (not bad for a special ops squad of six), they are then told that the LZ has been moved... to the area they've just let the enemy overrun, forcing the squad to go from Hold The Line to Attack The Line, breaking through the enemy's heavy defenses to make it to the LZ. Gaz was pissed. Widely considered the Scrappy Level, more so than "One Shot". Call of Duty 2, in addition to a level actually called "Hold The Line", includes "Comrade Sniper", the second half of "The Silo", and "The Battle For Hill 400" (the crowning level of awesome). There's also Dawnville, where you repel the Nazis from the village, only for them to retake the area a minute later, forcing you to "break through the line", complete with additional Tiger tanks. Call of Duty 1, has two: The first is Pegasus Day, holding the bridge you'd taken the night before, using a fixed gun emplacement to rout enemy tanks. The second is the difficult Pavlov's House mission.

Instead of hunting them like you do with other monsters, the creature shows up at one end of a linear area, and past multiple obstacles is a fort on the other end of the map. You have to prevent it from destroying the fort, by either killing it before the timer runs out, or repelling it by dealing enough damage that when the timer hits 0, it flees. If you run out of time before damaging the monster enough, get knocked out three times, or let the fort get destroyed, you lose.

In the end Elbert is cashiered and the hicks only avoid arrest and trial because they end up killing each other while trying to escape arrest (the Navajos declare this being divine justice), and Tex and the Navajos smooth things over with the US Army for Fort Defiance by paying for it to be rebuilt. In the "Rangers of Patagonia" special, once the Argentinian Army has fully mobilized and is about to overrun Patagonia, Tex and a group of Patagonian Indians decide to stand behind at a mountain pass to hold off the Argentinians for a week, so the rest of the Indians (and Kit) will have the time to cross the frontier into Chile and get away. Not only do they succeed, but at the end of the week, Mendoza, commander of the Argentinian expeditionary force, upon learning of what Tex and the others had stood behind for, allows almost every survivor to just leave, keeping behind only the Indian chief Sayelque because he needs someone to sign the formal surrender.

Unlike the other examples, there is no time limit. However, failing this mission results in an immediate Nonstandard Game Over.

The game periodically spawns increasingly large and powerful waves of attacking alien hordes that you need to fend off lest they overrun your bases. It also has a survival mode is all about holding firm against waves of enemies for 90 minutes. Higher difficulty settings reduce the time between waves and increase their strength.

Hold the Line / int_e49fc98a	comment	From the Unreal series: Unreal II: The Awakening has several missions where the objective is to hold off enemy incursions with the help of forcefields, turrets, and in some cases, AI fighters: In "Swamp", your objective is to help a team of marines fend off the Skaarj and their Izarian slaves until the TCA Atlantis comes to your aid. In "Kalydon", your ship is undergoing repairs, and Liandri has targeted it. You need to hold off five waves of Liandri assassins. The player is provided turrets and forcefields for the first time in the game. The second level on Sulferon involves you and four marines protecting a technician from Izanagi Ghost Warriors. The last level set on Janus requires you and four Marines to protect a (very annoying) scientist from (again) Liandri assassins. This instance is a combination of Kalydon and Sulferon in that you have both Marines and deployable equipment. In the "Avalon" level set once you collect all the Artifact pieces, you're required to protect a TCA engineer from Skaarj assassins while he restores the power station, the consequence for letting him die being a Non-Standard Game Over. You're given a Widowmaker Sniper Rifle to help him from a distance. Later in the level, you and a squad of marines defend your position from waves of attacking Skaarj. The Assault gametype in both Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004 reenact 'historic' battles while each team trades off attacking and defending sides. The first attacking team can get a serious advantage if performing well in their round, since as defenders they only have to hold the line for the amount of time their victory took. 2004 (and Unreal Tournament 2003's Epic Bonus Pack) feature the Invasion gametype, which pits you and the rest of the players, grouped as a team, against several monsters from Unreal. You have to survive up to 16 waves if you want to win, though that's easier said than done. Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict features the Nali Slaughter gametype, which pits you against hordes of Nali (several of which can hurt you) in different waves. There are some missions in Unreal Tournament III (namely, those taking place on Torlan_Leviathan) where you're required to fend off waves of Skaarj/Liandri bots who get two Darkwalkers while you get a Leviathan. The problem is that the AI is quite dumb and has a tendency to get stuck in your base with the Leviathan while the enemy keeps attacking. That makes even more difficult an already difficult mission.

He won't be present when the match starts; instead, he'll arrive much later - and if the rest of your team is knocked out before he arrives, you lose the match by default.

Hold the Line / int_eaeeea9b	comment	StarCraft II has several of these missions spanning across its three games. In general, this kind of mission has been polished to the point that, in most cases, the enemy bases are either out of bounds (ensuring you will have to stay on the defensive no matter how well you do) or destroying them is gives you an Instant-Win Condition or an achievement. The third mission in Wings of Liberty, "Ground Zero", is a Call-Back to the first game's third Terran mission, up to the point the battle happens in the same place. The Zerg bases are similarly lightly defended, and wiping them out nets you an achievement. Unlike the original mission, the Zerg get reinforced, so even if you destroy their base you'll still need to hold out against a final assault. One of the artifact missions in Wings of Liberty is "The Dig". You have to defend the Drakken Laser Drill until it destroys the gates of a Xel'Naga temple. The drill can actually help you destroy the strongest Protoss units if you desire... but doing so will make the mission last longer. After all, if the drill is destroying enemy units it isn't breaching the temple gates. You can also go on the offensive and completely destroy the Protoss force (using the drill helps) which actually automatically wins the mission. Presumably, the in-universe explanation is that with the threat over, the Raiders could use the drill to open the temple at their leisure. Waiting for the mission to end with nothing to do however would be very boring, so the missions then just ends. The final mission in the Protoss mini-campaign, "In Utter Darkness", subverts this trope. The objective in this mission is killing as many Zerg and Hybrid units as possible, and defending an archive during the first 15 minutes (Then it becomes invulnerable and grants research points). The subversion comes from the fact the mission always ends with your forces being wiped out, but it's a success if you killed as many units as the main objective said. Wings of Liberty's campaign mode closes with "All In". You have to defend an artifact for 30 minutes against endless Zerg forces (And Kerrigan that comes up from time to time). The artifact actually helps in that once in some minutes it can wipe out almost all Zerg units near you, but an achievement needs you to not use it more than once. Attacking the enemy bases is impractical at best (you're better off keeping your forces for defense), and even if you wipe the bases out, you get neither an achievement nor instant win. In fact, the bases are rebuilt almost as soon as you leave, so there really is no practical reason to attack. Heart of the Swarm only has one mission that fits this trope, with it being "The Crucible", in which you have to hold out primal zerg forces for 30 minutes until Kerrigan hatches from her chrysalis. In this mission and all subsequent hold the line missions, the enemy has no base to destroy meaning defense really is your only option. The first mission in Legacy of the Void's prologue campaign plays with this trope. Your Protoss forces have to destroy stasis chambers in which other Protoss are held in by the Moebius Corps, who are holding the line... but Kerrigan's Swarm arrives at full power to raze the entire facility, so your objective is to destroy the stasis chambers before the Moebius Corps cannot hold the line any longer. The first mission in Legacy of the Void in this trope style is "Last Stand" - protecting the Xel'Naga temple on Shakuras until you destroy three pillars and the Zerg counter reaches 1 billion. Unlike other examples, after the counter reaches said mark, the mission does not end, and it only does so when you decide to overload the temple - a bonus objective requires you to hold out until 1.5 billionnote Technically, you hold out until your forces can extract the solarite beneath the temple, this is simply marked as 1.5 billion for convenience's sake and three achievements ask you to reach 1.8, 2.2 and 2.3 billion respectively, which are easier said than done. The final mission in Legacy of the Void's main campaign, "Salvation", is very similar in concept to "All In" and map style to "In Utter Darkness" from Wings of Liberty. You (and your allies with their weak defenses) have to defend the Keystone until it's fully charged against Zerg and Protoss forces. Vorazun and Karax even mention the trope in some of their lines. The epilogue campaign has its Terran mission, "Essence of Eternity", as one. You have to protect Kerrigan until she ascends to a Xel'naga in a similar way to "The Dig" (that is if you use her attack she stops ascending), except with much stronger attacks, and just like in "Salvation", you have allies that simply cannot set up an effective defense.

Unless, of course, you figured out the way to kill it by crushing it with observatory doors.

Hold the Line / int_fb0b20f2	comment	Supreme Commander: The Spiritual Successor to Total Annihilation, the last mission of the UEF campaign is an epic one of these, as you have to hold out against IMMENSE incoming hordes long enough to get the superweapon Black Sun up and running. Possibly the most over-the-top part comes when the map expands to the north and a huge Cybran army including no less that four Monkeylord spiderbots comes stampeding down towards you. The Forged Alliance expansion's 4th campaign mission, where Dostya is killed by a betrayer in the Cybran ranks and you have to hold off an EVEN MORE IMMENSE Seraphim attack in all directions until you can be recalled. Said Seraphim army contains dozens of experimental bombers. Cybran Razors is on loop for the entire mission.

The win condition of an incursion battle is always to survive a set number of turns; though it's possible to win sooner by defeating all enemy units, it's not required. The player has the opportunity to add defensive features to an area in advance of an incursion, such as barricades and traps, to make holding the line for the required number of turns that much easier.

Hold the Line / int_fd8ef85e	comment	Each of the finales from the Campaign mode of Left 4 Dead involves one of these situations, wherein the Survivors must fend of literally hundreds of Horde and dozens of Special Zombies until some form of evac arrives. Specifically, it's two Hordes and two Tanks, alternately. And then Valve added Survival Mode, where the rescue vehicle never comes. Oh, and the Tanks and Horde don't wait for each other. The Tanks also start showing up in teams. It's the longest (final) ten minutes of your life.

Interesting in that while Samus is protecting the bomb, the Space Pirates are trying to protect something from Samus.
