Yes, there could have been more, but what was in there was still pretty cool, though.
You saw the Marines firing rifles, AT4s, and the M2s mounted on the vehicles. What I wanted to see was an M1 Abrams fire its main gun at the tripods...and see the tripods get hit. That's what was lacking, and it's what Spielberg should have had if he was going to go to all the trouble to get DoD cooperation (and remember that "War of the Worlds" was the very first movie to feature real M1 Abrams tanks).
