It's supposed to be backwards. Having it the other way would be wrong.

Hey Hard, would it be possible for the flag on BB's portrait (below) to be corrected? As it's currently backwards. :v: I noticed the same thing with every single menu background photo of the soldier during the Dustline period, however I let that be, seeing as I knew it would be temporary, with those.
I'm assuming he was originally facing left, then mirrored? If so, his unit emblem is no doubt the wrong way around as well, heh



That's actually how it is supposed to be displayed.

Huh, that's interesting - just looked it up then. Still, seems a touch silly that the US armed forces actually do this, so I'm sticking by saying that it's backwards! :v:

Not even a touch silly, it's just ridiculous.



From US Flag.org (I can't believe this is an actual site. Our country is loving weird about our obsessions)

quote:

The regulation states that when authorized for application to the proper uniform the American flag patch is to be worn, right or left shoulder, so that “the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer’s right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. The appropriate replica for the right shoulder sleeve is identified as the ‘reverse side flag’.”

So yeah, it's a thing. Stupid, but a thing nonetheless

Interesting to hear that Capitao will probably be replacing Ash in the standard Pro League attacker lineup. That would make the standard lineup: Capitao, Thermite, Thatcher, Buck & Sledge.

is that de facto or de jure?

edit-i remember hearing something about rules regarding which operators were allowed, so i thought maybe they changed it to like standardized comps

He'd actually be fantastic on offense, just don't give him his walls back when they get torn down. Being able to cover your flank would be amazing.

Castle + Mute can be effective at my skill level on some maps. Especially if there's no Sledge or Ash.

Yeah, with Mute he can be pretty decent, provided you can deal with any Ash-/Sledge-related threats before they re-open your barricaded doors. Otherwise he's just really not great. I really think Wooper's suggestion could be good - it would be amazing to be able to seal off your flanks! Especially if you wind up inadvertently blocking off a roamer who was lying in wait, before moving in from behind :D

Decided to use the Saiga tonight and came away with a few good matches.

Gun is loving awful and nobody should willingly use it.

With that said: it was fun trying to make this pile of poo poo work.

Happens all the time now, seen it at least a dozen times since Skull Rain came out.

Just unlocked Capitao, and seem to have a control map glitch - my rate-of-fire key is Forward on the mouse and works fine for all the other selectable weapons, but to swap between smoke/fire bolts it doesn't work... instead, it swaps everytime I press A. The little control key icon next to the bolt type icon ingame shows the normal Mouse5.



As you can imagine that makes it extremely difficult to use while moving. :psyduck: I can't see any conflicts in the mapping screen, am I overlooking something or is it a bug?

Anybody else having the feeling that the sound propagation is strange under Skull Rain? It's way harder to tell locations on your floor vs the floor above and crouch walking seems to be quieter.

I've noticed that it seems you can shoot out thermite's charge even if he placed it on a reinforced trap door. At first I thought it's because I shot out the entire trap door (leaving only the reinforcement). After further observation, any gun can shoot out thermite's charge through reinforced trap door. You can destroy the charge both while it's burning or just placed, too.

That sounds like a bug

I've gotten way better over the past couple of days. Couldn't resist killing a pubbie who wouldn't shut the gently caress up because i walked into a kapkan trap half a second after i'd just popped a guy though.

I consider myself at least a good player and I eat Kapkan traps some of the time, they are made to be ran into. I've played against players who are dominating the whole game but jump into a laser on match point

Yeah, this one was sneaky, didn't cade over it and had a guy in cover behind it. I was aiming up, shot him in the face, didn't see the text in the bottom right hand corner as I stepped into it.
