The modular game set up also gives players the chance to play specific scenario's or to set up your own campaign.You will get one for free plus a special promo item: a buster t-shirt!
THE BUSTER WAS HERE
There are 7 special ops. One of the coolest Special Ops is Bob "Hellfire" Jones. His alias "The Buster" refers to his rather rough way of dealing with "problems" in a mission. Bob is great with hand grenades. He likes to clear an adjacent area, just next to the group of ops, to make sure that all threats are taken out. He sometimes causes some "colateral damage", since there are also civilians and hostages in the field. If you win this contest, you are entitled to wear this great Buster shirt.
