This isn't new guys. The Predator has had Hellfire missles for over a year. The Isrealis have had warheads in remote control drone aircraft for years.

Against 3rd world cesspool countries they work really well. They don't have a friggin clue about electronic warfare countermeasures (or electronics in general) to combat them. I expect the USAF to develope more of these.

Might as well start training the operators now.

Hey, HT, Pyro... can you do an Afghan terrain with some mud brick buildings and tanks, SAMS, ZSU's, troops, bridges, etc?

Then just a Predator with a good FM and two Hellfires?

Game Name is of course "Predator"... I'd suggest making it MMPOL and cheap.. Resets when the entire Taliban leadership and OBL have been hit.

I'll play... I'm sure my teenager will too!

"Aw... maaaa... I just saw Osama"

yeah, but how would you handle killshooter?

You know some doofus will come in and start trying to shoot down the other Predators and say "3y3 r0xX0rD j00 n3wB!"
