I visited the SOCOM site today. Up pops a window offering new SOCOM TV ads. The first shows a guy walking down a street, then running to cover behind a bin. A guy jumps from the flowerbed in a ghillie suit and lays smoke grenades, while a soldier ziplines from a blackhawk. All on the street.
It then cuts to the guy playing the game. The second ad just gets silly.
When the local shopping centre opened up its new half, it was the time Rainbow 6/Rogue Spear were out. I took great delight in planning the shopping trip on the large floorplan coles had put just inside their front door.
Last shopping trip, it was all I could do to resist making the hand-gestures from SOCOM. A chopping motion from my shoulder directly out in front of me meant “Attack to dairy case.”
A palm-down, patting gesture at the hip meant “Hold position, choccy bikkies present.”
You get the idea.
