The video takes your team from the top of the Stratosphere Tower to the casino floor, trading gunfire with terrorists. It's so cool, it's worth putting up with the super-serious narrator as he walks you through the mission step by step, telling you what you should be doing at each stage of the conflict. ... » Read More
