Engineers' "phone" is saying activate even when defusing...

(Lumi) #1

So this is a nit-pick of mine I know, but considering DB’s track record of prioritizing random stuff instead of doing relevant fixes, why not talk about this?

So the engineer’s phone or Hacking tool or whatever is saying activate no matter the situation and it’s progress circle is stuck at 2 bars continuously. I think that during defuse of the bomb it should be saying defusing or deactivating at the very least. It would also be awesome if the progress circle in the middle would actually reflect the planting/defusing progression just as the UI bar does.

I know it’s a little detail that doesn’t matter for gameplay, and I don’t expect it to be implemented yesterday, but just saying it would be nice to get that some day…

Maybe they’re activating their bomb defuser. It could happen.

The progress bar should definitely be looked into though. Interesting side note, the work your friend did with pliers, syncs up nicely with whatever you’re doing on your pda thing, because science.

Anyways, I’m gonna co-jack this thread to bring up other completely inconsequential things that don’t add up in DB. Like: Is it still artillery if it’s being fired from a plane? Or is it just an airstrike at that point? For Arty’s sake I need to know.

If it isn’t, I’m forever referring to him as Strikey until someone comes up with a better nickname.

Technically, Airstrikes are also artillery due to the fact that the word “artillery” pretty much sums up the deliverance of any munitions to the ground via propulsion through the air

Arty it is, and Wikipedia seems to back you up.
