City of Heroes is the first MMO that I've gotten seriously wrapped
up in for longer than a couple weeks, and I'd say one of its biggest
assets is how you can play the game in a meaningful way in 15 minute
increments.
It's very easy in CoH to hook up with a part, or start soloing, and
get something done in 15-45 minutes. 15 minutes nets you some bad
guys in one of the city zones, 45 will usually get you a completed
mission (smaller groups help with shorter missions, since they
auto-adjust to your party size).
Cryptic has reduced down-time for resting to a pittance, and set up
spawns and missions in such a way that there is no camping (at least
in the low and mid level content I've seen). And this is a USP that
is entirely evident to the player - definitely not a misuse of the
term.
