Well, Star Trek never had people being cut in two by a beam of light. The only problem is that they're virtually ineffective on a scale as short as BF map sizes because of the amount of energy needed and the size of the equipment(this is 2142, not the 44th century. Pocket laser blasters will be far from the realm of the actual).
I just love how is takes less than a full twenty years for 25% of the world to be engulfed in a new ice age, and that there were no warning signs to speak of. They might as well have said that magic ice fairies caused it.
Ever heard of the exponential growth of technology? Its only going to get faster. Regardless, true laser weapons are extremely inefficient, and will most likely not be implemented in combat.2ltben said:Lasers are terrifying and powerful weapons with the right amount of power, people just think they work like they do in Star Trek.
