[QUOTE="Skrit, post: 2780513, member: 34817"] Sitting out in open terrain in todays warfair doesn't sound like a very good idea to me.. That opens you up to attacks by planes, artillery, long range missles, and that's not talking about the nasty stuff such as nukes, chemicles and biological weapons. By sitting yourself in the city you force the enemy to come in an dig yout ot house to house which is much easier to defend against and should be a high casualty area. Sure they could still use percision guided weapons against some high concentrations but they can't just carpet bomb you like out in the field. Granted you still have to have boots on the ground to clean people out after but it will be far less people if youre sitting out in the open then you would be in a city. See the would has turned against leveling cities like was done in WW2. Still even back then if you level the city you still got to get troops and there and it's going to be hell of a fight. I'm not saying Urban fighting takes place at 10ft but it's not going to be 200yrds or more unless is some kind of special circumstance. *Edit* ohh yeah keeping on topic no one talked about Gene Simmons gun from Runaway where it was like a mini cruise missle. Rocket poppelled rounds have been around for awhile (I think the 70s) but they were too expensive and did nothing regular bullets could do. Where as if you had Gene's gun it would be a useful rocket round since it could lock on and track it's target.. [/QUOTE]
