Very likely I was thinking of the "Camera Shy" achievement for Portal, so I started counting the number of cameras you could shoot down in the Overlord DLC. It's not going to get you an achievement, you're not going to get some magical XP or credits or develop shields on the Hammerhead by destroying these cameras. As far as I can tell, there is no reason to go shooting out these cameras other than they are there.

Anyway, I've found 41 43 cameras. Anyone find more than that?

ETA: Now I've gone so far as to catalogue them.

Didn't count but I noticed them in my 1st playthrough and PORTAL immediately came to mind. Needless to say I shot any I saw after that. ;)

That's all the reason I need to shoot anything.

I think the cameras and being able to shoot them was some kind of reference to Portal. Still, I tried to shoot them all ^_^ too bad it seems they are immune to hammerhead missiles!

Both Portal and System Shock 2 sprung to mind. And I shot every single one I could find. Call it a force of habit.

Same here, ... though the lack of my beloved OCP made me do it the permanent way ... I just don't like being watched when sneaking through enemy bases!

Nah, the Hammerhead takes them out well enough. I shot them down.

I think they missed a trick on this one. Would have been cool that if you shot all of the cameras the VI would get p***ed off and throw more Geth at you ect.

After I found out you could shoot them I left them alone because I didn't want to provoke it further.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

And yes, I shot them all too. I didn't keep score though >.>

I was sad that the Hammerhead's missiles weren't enough to knock out some of those cameras.



Yea, they were creepy.

Yes, I shoot them out even though I know there's no reason to.

And... I've never played System Shock 2 or Portal. I just like random acts of destruction. -.-

Odd, I destroyed all the cameras precisely because I thought the VI was using them to coordinate it's troops. (ie. spawn more geth/mechs if you let them remain active)

i forgot where but theres a room with a malfunctioning door. it keeps closing and opening once you press A to open another door. if you time it right and stand in the right spot you can just shoot down a camera thats just gasping at you with his life... just a lil reference or does it have some meaning?

Oh, the Hammerhead's missiles can take them down for sure. Sometimes takes a little effort trying to hit the target, though.

There's definitely the spirit of System Shock and Portal within Overlord. System Shock (and its sequel) just freak me out. Started System Shock 2, but then there were alarms and explosions and a voice telling me my doom was nigh.

I always shoot them. I thought it would make the AI angry and besides I didn't like being watched by that thing as if it was stalking me or something.
