[edit] Weapons planned for future versions

TALON Robot. The robot will be a radio controlled machine similar looking to the World War II era Goliath, but rather than exploding it has special instruments such as for defusing a bomb or helping people trapped in dangerous locations. The TALON is probably confined to the US army version of America's Army, and not the public game.
