Walküre:

Interesting, I always had the opposite sensation.
The fact that many of them died is more due to Mordor's own status in the War of the Ring.

Mordor launched a heavy assault against all Middle Earth – specifically against Gondor – that caught almost everyone unprepared to face such endless and dreadful hordes of Orcs and more deadly foul creatures.
Minas Tirith would have been inevitably doomed if not for the arrival of Rohan in its aid.

Therefore, you can see it that way: Gondor's troops were brave and fought until the end, but Mordor was just too much for any mere soldier.
This constant 'We are doomed' fate is well and rightly represented throughout the whole trilogy, because Sauron is indeed the ultimate Enemy, thus displaying a sort of ultimate conflict between the Good and the Evil for the freedom of the World.
This is what the War of the Ring is mainly and exactly about  :)

Fredius:
Yes but can you justify the archers who were so genius to shoot at inanimate siege towers instead of the trolls pushing them? Gandalf must have facepalmed so hard that day :P.

I admit I was mainly looking at the philosophical/theoretical aspect, as I often do  xD

Yes, that was honestly a bit puzzling.
But, I hope that we will agree with saying that those soldiers were nonetheless heroic at containing the assault in the first level  :)

Fredius:
Aye agreed, they gave me enough reason to make them become my favorite army in the LOTR universe.

Yes Gondor is my favorite army also, but what happened to the rangers did anyone of them survive?
What about the scene when gondor watchman was killed by an orc arrow even wearing plate armor? in Osgilliath
