Okay, I will upvote but I am curious--where the hell are these hidden costs? Just because a sniper shoots you in face it doesn't mean he was hidden.

*I open door, shot in face by sniper two feet away*

The hidden secret of water? Yeah, you can get sick by drinking water with viruses or water that has been contaminated with toxins--but did you know you could also drown?! It's true!!!

Sorry, I could go on and on but I will stop. (And we cannot say the percentages are "secret" because, well, just because you don't know something doesn't mean it's "hidden")

And then the scarecrow was terminated by a Monsanto sniper.

@enoch,

If Israel is the only place you've seen evidence from then you are reading the wrong news sources. Al Jazeera's coverage and first whiff of the chemical weapon story originally came from reports by field medics in Syria observing huge numbers of dead in the area with no noticeable violent cause of death. Al Jazeera then reported on the UN inspection team set to go into the area to gather evidence of what happened, noting Assad's steadfast refusal to allow the team access to the area. When the team finally was granted much delayed access to the area they were shot at on the way by snipers within territory controlled by Assad. Now Putin is on television not to deny that chemical weapons were used, not even to deny there is sufficient evidence to conclude that they were used, but instead to make the sole denial that we lack evidence of who used the chemical weapons deployed against the civilians in a rebel stronghold. That is as much or more evidence than we had of the gassing of Iraqi Kurds or the Rwandan genocide while they were in progress. Sure, the world denied both of those as well until they were long over, but I resent that and want that willful contempt for civilian suffering to change.

As for your followup questions, I don't much care WHO goes in and punishes Assad's regime for it's crimes so long as it succeeds in discouraging him from continuing to do so. I'd support Putin sending in a limited strike against Assad's suspected chemical weapons supplies. I want to see ANYBODY step up and say using chemical weapons against civilians is sufficient crime to warrant a military response to ensure that dictators don't have more to gain than lose by doing so.

You seem to have a very perverted way of looking at things. You are so interested in America's past crimes of both action and inaction that you don't seem to actually give any though or consideration to what you'd actually WANT to see done. America supported Saddam while he waged a war with Iran that killed millions and saw extensive use of chemical weapons. America entirely ignored the genocide in Rwanda. You seem to share a contempt for those things with me. I at least assume so by you referencing the general idea behind them as a list of reasons America is no white knight or respectable global police force. If you agree those actions where horrifically wrong though, doesn't it follow that if you could turn back time, you'd be willing to advocate for American action in Rwanda? That you'd advocate for at the least American sanction on Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war, if not outright military action to stop his excessive deployment of chemical weapons?

You can't have it both ways, if you decry American action and inaction in the past, that must amount to a call for taking a different and better course.

My problem with movie guns is the "hand cannon" sound. Like in all the Dirty Harry movies. Every pistol shot seems to sound like a 50cal Barrett sniper rifle in a sewer pipe.

As cool sounding as it is wrong.

Ugggh, watching this now and the opening 5 minutes include gratuitous douchebag sniper and "a Tom Cruise Production" in the openeing titles...Looks like a total piece of egomaniacal shit on par with Expendables.

Gonna down vote the trailer and hope the movie gets better, but not much hope from the direction Scientology-boy lately-He's got 3 other films in post-prod and only one looks good in spite of his hack-actiing because of special effects and story. More and more, Cruise= douche!

In a remote clearing in a Canadian forest.

"You got the money?"

"Yeah, you got the stuff?"

"Yeah, 100% pure and uncut."

"I'll be the judge of that. (sticks knife in jar of syrup and tastes) That's the real deal. Where's the waffle mix?"

"Waffle mix was never part of the deal, Gustavo."

"The deal's been changed." (Gustavo's armed guards draw their weapons.)

"I brought muscle too, Gustavo. (two snipers reveal their position in the distance, a beam of sunlight flashes off one of the scopes) Your move..... amigo."

It's like unlimited mulligans with a gun.

Also eliminates trigger pull as a factor. That's huge.

This is going to make an amazing FPS feature for sniper characters.

Do you know what else is annoying? People who use jets purely as transport. It's such a waste, and allows the enemy jets to roam free.


Unless nobody is using them anyway... in which case using them for transport is a tactical advantage. I see jets go unused all the time.

I miss Battlefield, too bad Origin is required


And what is the problem with Origin?

>> ^Auger8:

God I miss Battlefield I used to do this all the time in BF2 not to mention carpet bombing snipers with the bomber jets. Ahh good times!


Might be worth going back to with the upcoming Armored kill expansion. No carpet bombing but the cannon on the AC-130 will do the job.
