Or that once the berserkers were in their blood rage they were likely to attack both friend and foe - therefore better for them to die fighting the enemy before the regulars ascended the ladders. It's also quite possible the berserkers belonged to a more ferocious breed of Uruk-hai. I recall seeing deleted footage of "mutant" Uruk-hai that couldn't be controlled. | |
