From the mailbag...
Hey fellas,
Ben and I were sporting the Oscar Mikes around 38 Studios today explaining to everybody how awesome we were for getting all 69 stars in Spec Ops. When posing for the attached e-card/"celebrity" endorsement, we felt the scissor lift was a more appropriate holiday symbol for the background than say, a christmas tree. Scissor lifts are always Oscar Mike. Let's see a tree take down 10 juggernauts in Favela!
Happy Holidays!
Rich and Ben

Also, I think this confirms the rumor that 38 Studios is working on a massively multiplayer scissor lift simulator.
