“Sino ang fans ng Angry Birds dito? Gusto niyo subukan ang totoong version niya — Scout Ranger style? Meron po kaming giant slingshot na tinatawag namin na Angry Ranger. Ang bala niya ay granada. Kada may papasukin na building ang isang Scout Ranger unit, pinapaulanan muna ni Angry Ranger ng mga granada para ma detonate ang mga IED dun. Dahil epektibo si Angry Ranger, marami na rin na save na buhay ito. Another Angry Ranger, on the way!”
