    But even if you quote someone's post thats half a page long, and you reply with a 3 word sentence, you still only posted a 3 word sentence. Besides, thats already been posted on this thread, so basically your adding no new content.

    Marines do take cover, throughout maps there are downed pelicans and stuff to use as cover. Obviously you havent seen the gameplay videos.

    And just to contribute, I want SandBox. WooHoo

    No, they don't take cover, they can stand in it though.
    I've got to say though, the lighting is really bad. It's dusk/dawn but there seems to be a hell load of light.

    Some observations about this picture. There are two rocket launchers in the pic, the spartan is suspended in the air from jumping (assuming this is on default sandbox). If you thought the spartan wasn't jumping, it would appear to make sandbox look bigger. The object being shot looks about the size of a single box. The spartan would have to be at least a double box away for that pic to be taken. Visually, from that angle, it covers three-quarters of foundry.

    I really don't understand what you're saying.
    There are 2 possible positions that the player is in. First, jumping after shooting a rocket. Second, standing after firing a rocket while crouched.
    Do you mean just what you see in the picture? Because its already estimated mathemetically that the map is roughly twice the size of Foundry.

    Wait, did he fire two rockets? There is the one exlpoding, yes, but also look right below the black bar. He also has no rockets left in his ammo bar.

    [​IMG]

    If this is true, then he is VERY high above the floor because of the fact that the second rocket is so small. Possibly taken on a gametype with low gravity, and he shot the first while on the ground and then jumped up, shot the second one while halfway through his jump, and the screenshot was taken at the peak of the jump?

    It still has the beginning "SLAYER" sign up, telling me that this was set to Rocket start. Theres no way he couldve grabbed rockets and ran to the other teams rockets before that intro sign went away.

    Additionally, i dont think hes jumping either. Hes just looking slightly more downward that most people do. The object infront of him cannot be as tall as a single box, it just too low to the ground. also, the top of the "single box" cannot be seen, but his eyes see a level top.

    I don't think so, because the rocket launcher in the middleground and the chopper in the background aren't that small. It looks to me that the first explosion is right at its tail end.

    Either they've jumped, or they're standing on someone's head and the dude underneath is firing rockets.

    Then they've changed the size of rockets. That's the only thing that I can think of that can account for the fact that the lower rocket is so much smaller. I think it's too small even if he was standing on someones head...

    So, to play along, the player is on one side of the map, close to the middle. Judging by the official pic, he's right about here.

    [​IMG]

    I think he's standing on one of these, which means it's a forged variant of the official pic (there's nothing like this in the middle of the map on either side).

    [​IMG]

    Doesn't really account for the second rocket, but I do know from past picture taking experience that rockets can show up weird. Maybe he's shooting at the ground from his perch.

    Jesus, we're turning this into the Kennedy assassination with the whole "second rocket/shooter" thing...

    There is definitely a second shooter crouching in the sandy knoll behind him.

    Rocket 2 has been shot from lower down than rocket 1. The smoke trail from rocket 1 is lower than the player. He has shot rocket one and jumped at roughly the same time, in the pic the rocket is exploding and he is reaching the top of his jump at the same time.

    I dont think rocket 2 is even a rocket. An empty clip doesn't prove much, he couldve shot that into the sky. I would say that its more likely to be a frag exploding and he picked up more frags shortly after throwing.

    Frags don't leave a straight line smoke trail though...

    Could be a spike nade? They glow as you throw, and leave more of a trail, if I recall. Then he wouldn't have had to have picked up frags either.

    My bad, frags do leave a smoke trail. Shock, don't spikes leave a trail with little glowy parts?

    I can't remember, but in my mind they're more obvious when you throw them.

    Well he only has two frags in his arsenal at the time of the screenshot (no spikes) and we know the game is only a few seconds old because the welcome message is still up. I haven't played h3 in so long so idk whether it would be possible for it to be a spike. Would a gametype be possible with frag and spike spawn? Spikes cant bounce so i think it would have stuck and be exploding by the time he has jumped so high


    Didn't we agree that the team thing shows he is alone? A second player would make a blue team bar too wouldn't it? Again I havent played for so long so im not sure

    Since they would be so close together, wouldn't there be a bigger yellow blob in the center of the radar?

    (yeah laugh it up, Shishka & urk)
