    "The Pentagon halted its cooperation with Marvel Studios’ blockbuster movie The
    Avengers because the Defense Department didn’t think a movie about
    superheroes, Norse Gods and intergalactic invasions was sufficiently realistic in
    its treatment of military bureaucracy.

    Moviegoers and comic fans know that S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Samuel L. Jackson’s
    super-spy Nick Fury, is an international peacekeeping/global surveillance/crisis
    response/quasi-military organization. But its relationship with the United States is
    murky. And that basically stopped the U.S. military, which is normally eager to
    cooperate with the film industry on blockbuster movies, from teaming up with the
    Avengers.

    “We couldn’t reconcile the unreality of this international organization and our
    place in it,” Phil Strub, the Defense Department’s Hollywood liaison, tells Danger
    Room. “To whom did S.H.I.E.L.D. answer? Did we work for S.H.I.E.L.D.? We hit
    that roadblock and decided we couldn’t do anything” with the film."

    Translation: We're not the ones to save the day, so we don't want anything to do with it.

    They listened plenty, actually implemented changes that were wanted, but was pushed out the door in the worst way possible.

  7. So...

    The Avengers has already grossed $187M over the weekend and reportedly the pre-sold tickets here in the US are more than any Marvel movie COMBINED o_o
  8. I think I'm missing the humor part of #7
  9. pretty sure the new season will cover the missing members and what's happened in the 5 years

    600,000 packs being bought by a small group would be interesting.

It also makes them a bit frightening in the eyes of civilians... take for example the bio for the Longbow Flamethrower.

    (geez, it even has heroic in quotes and everything)
    The Praetorian PD pretty much had similar reaction,"These guys are using flamethrowers!?"

    the aesthetic reason would be the backpack, the gaming reason is that I prefer Build Up over Aim.

No one's going to be waiting around for brute herding in to burn patches.

    If the gripe is theme/aesthetics then I completely understand, but to call their performance average is an understatement.
    Herding isn't necessary. Jump in. Smash. Both will have stragglers to mop up in any event. Mobs won't always be in a nice spot for Crab AoE's either and Frag Grenade can make it worse with its knockback (doesn't stop me from enjoying my Huntsman, just saying).

I thought he'd killed him".
    this stuff just serves to remind me of all the anal inflammation MMA diehards get when it comes to Bruce Lee because he doesn't have official records or something...

  19. I love having more lasers than a Rush concert, but I HATE that the backpack stays with me when I change builds.

    Suprise! The next guy was Roger Huerta "El Matador" of MMA fame. The beat down was over quickly.
    hehe, if I remember correctly, the guy was a college football player too and thought he could beat up the "unknown" guy since he was smaller than him.
