            Well , I'm Scottish , living in England (more's the pity) and I'm ex-forces and have never heard any of these expressions . I think someone at DICE has been watching too many badly made war movies with Americans playing English officers and has never actually visited the UK.

                I've no idea, we were discussing this the other day. I've a combat signals badge but it was before the age of microwave transmitters, UAV, satellite comms etc.
                It was established that "Skylight" is the callsign in use for UAV, however the rest is still a mystery.

                  Skylight is a type of mini-UAV made by Italy

                  Foxhound is the name of a fictional special forces group in the Metal Gear series of video games. Maybe EA are just continuing on the name ?

                    I seriously recommend EA and DICE to make atleast one field-trip before they start programming...

                              I have no ****ing clue. I dont get how Starlight has anything to do with medics/first aid.

                              And the SAS sound crap. Socom 2's SAS voices were so much better.
