Eg, playing tiberium garden, if you block your entrance with guys, so they cant get in you can either (a) build sandbags all the way up there, or (b) build a com center and then drop a sandbag there. They both block your entrance against people who throw engineers at you straight away, but the latter gives you the com-center in the same amount of time as just building all those bags... Building sandbags takes a nasty amount of time if you really need to make buildings. I've seen maps where theres no way someone could have built sandbags out there *and* have all those buildings, and now I know how they did it.
