back on the topic of fragementation...
you may miss your target, but a bit of frag might hit--and send flying--an enemy's gun. this is good if you aim low at a pesky sniper; destroying weapons and disarming enemies is a big part of tactical combat, and can turn the tide if the guy with the RPG suddenly has to use a pistol. (also the frag could just headshot the injured enemy. speeds up the process and renders everything I just said moot. :I) destroying enemy dropships is fun too. it is hysterical when the engine on either side of one gets blown off, sending it flying into the troops it just dropped. I've even seen soldiers trapped under rubble. (XD)
-price and "where do I get it?":
the current price is $18, but it's totally worth it. trust me. the place to get it is datarealms.com. there is a demo version, but it only gives you 6 minutes to play any of the modes and missions, and it's not an updated version.
-BONUS: MODS!
there are so many frikin' mods for this game. just check out the forums. NOTE: the majority of thses don't even change your game, that's the beauty. many are just add-ons, with more units, guns, and crafts. I already have about 6 or so.

2)KAG (King Arthur's Gold)
-this is also a sidescroller, but it's a mideval knights, archers, and castles game. and there is destruction.
