The clarity of the transmissions should have tipped me off. Designating buildings not to be hit was a nice touch.

First thing I noticed was the lack of the high pitched "generator whine" you hear on all military aircraft intercoms. Hours upon hours of listening to that in the background is one reason my hearing doesn't pick up the high notes quite as well as it used to.
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

Watching it again, I can see how it is not quite right a lot easier. I gather the crosstalk are the guys playing it. For punishment I made myself watch 4 real missions.

I hope I don't have to turn in my tabs now...

CC this mission is part of the single player game, I don't know where that cross talk came from. Sounds like the spliced in some real audio.

Now that's embarrassing...
Just chalk it up to "aging". That excuse works wonders.
