I'd rather have multi-layered missions where you can bypass certain objectives and come back to them later. Or ones where both sides have objectives, and when one side completes one, BOTH teams change what their primary objective is. Make it so there are two balanced objectives at first, and if one team finishes their objective while the other team is making progress, you go into overtime until they either succeed or are interrupted. At that point, if both teams finished the objective, there's a second balanced set of objectives, but if one team has come out ahead, their next objective is more of a challenge to complete. But the team which lost the first objective also has a counter-objective, which is harder than the leading team's mission, but lets them turn the match around. A mission like this would produce multiple possible endings, A decisive and a close victory for either side, and several paths to a stalemate.
