Not just isolated, but faced with something clearly outside of their experience and training., but maintaining discipline anyway. The Colonial Marines in Aliens come off very poorly to the troops in Dog Soldiers.

I just wish more players would take note of good tactics, chain of command and keeping your head down than thinking they're Rambo and charging off on their own...
Frankly, the mechanics and tone of D&D gives a lot pf players a certain mindset not suitable to other rule sets. There is nothing really wrong with this mindset _if it fits_ the campaign you are running; the mindset required for most super hero games doesn't work for T2K either.
