Ayup, yup.

I like those, too; they tend to keep players motivated and help a lot to get the next session moving quickly.

I often used to start my Star Wars games like that; Middle of a firefight, or the ship is crashing due to the giant Alien Starship that just shot them out of the sky, or starting the PC's right at the very entrance of a known bolt-hole of evil, ready to burst in and begin firing.

However, I don't do it too much, for fear that it gets stale; believe it or not, too much immediacy is just as bad as not enough.
