I actually think that Spec Ops is best suited for lonewolves who are willing to watch their c4 and wait.
I had an incredible story where because of this, I was able to singlehandedly defend the Dam Outpost in Steel Thunder.
I was USMC, and there were only 12 people on each side, and of course, EVERYONE on the team attacks, including my squad, so I left the squad (since the whole team took the lower ridge, bearing North), and planted all my C4 in a staggered line in the grass coming off the upper ridge-- not in an obvious spot in the base, but in the tall grass coming up to the base.
Traps like this rarely work, because you can't predict where they're coming from all the time. Today, was lucky however. I watched my C4 from behind a tree in the distance, and lo and behold, up comes a full enemy squad. As they walked over the C4, I detonated it and the wall of dust got 3 of their guys. I immediately switched and opened up with the M4, as instead of lying down, the remaining just tried to get the hell out of there. I imagine they thought there was lots more than just me. Anyways, I was able to gun the rest down.
THAT's how Spec Ops should be played.
They aren't a very good addition to a squad, as they work best alone, and in a squad, all they are is a hindered rifleman.
