After staying up too late playing Call of Duty, Modern Warefare II, I had war nightmares. I pity real vets and the next generation of video gamers for whom the experience will be even more realistic. Speaking of war vets, Hattori Hanzo, does "Oscar Mike" mean "On the Move"? It is the only phonetic alphabet reference I haven't quite figured out. Have you played Modern Warefare? If it gave me flashbacks then maybe it isn't healthy for real vets to play...

Yeah, 'on the move' I have

Yeah, 'on the move' I have heard people people refer to its as 'on mission' as well means pretty much the same thing.

Sometimes in the game they refer to the "tangos" as being "Oscar Mike" so "on the move" makes the most sense. On another note, I have never liked the HMMV as a commercial vehicle but if the Hummer came with the mini-gun option like on the original spec, I think I could be persuaded to buy one. Minigun missions are always awsome in war games. My favorite was the Spectre Gunship mission in Modern Warfare 1, where there was also a 105mm cannon to play with. The specter was more fun than the Predator UAV missions of MW II, IMHO

I don't play online as there

I don't play online as there are too many kiddies out there with more time and younger reflexes for me to compete. That said, while unemployed i did get pretty awsome at Rainbow 6 and could kick ass but that is a bit of a slower paced game and I had more time. I used to be very very into counterstrike but the PC mouse + wsda is such a faster interface than the joystick on a console system. Don't worry, FT, I have the game for my PS3 not my x-Box. Due to Pinky's lack of foresight, he did not buy a HD -TV for Haks and a game like that should be in HD.
