You know, I’m not even debating whether or not they’re “good” in the traditional sense. But they have a lot of original imagery and sound and just managing to not sound like every other piece of crap released gets big points from me.
Besides… it’s entertaining in a weird way. And that doesn’t hurt.
I believe they’re towards $60,000 (which seems like a lot). Don’t get me wrong… they’re really effective as the video below will show. But to get 1 guy? And I guess it’s all the video games… but at a couple points all I could think was “aim at the guy in the middle and get all 3″. And really… I thought they were more for anti-vehicle operations, not anti-personnel. I’d think the cannon they use so effectively elsewhere in the video would suffice.
But whatever. Here’s to massive overkill.
Remember… the warm stuff show up bright. So when the one bright spot turns into a bunch of spread out, little bright spots… that’s a guy on the ground being turned into soup!
