"The ball can be fired from a grenade launcher - or thrown into a room - giving troops vital information of who - or what - is on the ground or around the corner." Does this sound familiar?
"The concept came about as part of the Ministry of Defence's (MoD) Competition of Ideas in 2007." Bull, someone from Dreampact is obviously a Thief player.
Regs, Mike.

The only difference is that throwing these things will make alot of noise on a hard surface (easily fixed with soft outer coating), they don't go through guards and they are not OBLIVIOUS to the fact that a soccerball camera had been thrown in front of them. I'll stick to the Nikita missile from MGS in case they find out, you can always guide the "camera" towards them XD
