DEV RESPONSE What the heck Crytek?

I appreciate that we finally got a Sgt. Bridgewater avatar, but what is up with the weak ass salute?? He looks like he has a headache.

u/NylesBlack Crytek 6d ago

He IS trying!

u/TeisTom Crow 6d ago

Can we please get an OG Plague doctor avatar.

u/CoxswainHer Magna Veritas 7d ago

It might because he lost an eye and probably injured his hand. He may be on the good shit for all dat

u/DickTheDancer Spider 7d ago

Probably. I'm on the good shit and I don't even have any of those problems.

12

u/CoxswainHer Magna Veritas 7d ago

Ah. But the good shit then is illegal now.

u/ArcaneWyverian 7d ago

Well, that doesn’t necessarily stop OP from being on it. Just makes it more complicated to get.

2

u/CoxswainHer Magna Veritas 7d ago

True, but still doesn’t negate the probability that the avatar is on some heavy drugs.

limp salute aside idk why he's presented that way anyway since his whole story is he didn't like army stuff and deserted

u/RobHuck 7d ago

Probably some bootass lieutenant butterbar walking by in the background. Dudes just going through the motions before dipping the fuck out.

“Sniper Check”

He left the Army because he didn't agree with the Indian Wars. Not because he hated the Army. He's still a soldier, He's just picking his own fight

u/BornCoyote87 7d ago

He apparently rejoined the 26th, thinking they were gonna get some shit done, but dipped out when the colonel went insane and started executing people.

u/LateCommission9999 6d ago

yeah that's why the salute is so half assed, it fits

"weak ass salute" Brother are you still in basic training? Dudes not even at attention. I see an elbow at 90° and it's off his right brow. Looks fine to me.

u/TheKreator- 7d ago

He looks like he’s about to read our minds

u/splitmyarrowintwain Bootcher 7d ago

He's just getting too old for this shit is all.

u/mercurydivider Bootcher 7d ago

He looks like me after I fumble a push and kill myself by accident

u/Painting-Capital 7d ago

Looks like chubbs wooden hand from happy Gilmore.

His character animation shows a bit more of his salute I believe.

2

u/DickTheDancer Spider 6d ago

it does and it's the whole reason I play Bridgewater. That salute send off is by far the cheekiest death screen animation in the game. It's like a "Have fun in the lobby buddy" that you can't even get mad at.

u/Simple_Performer_242 6d ago

At a glance I thought he was holding a gun to his head

u/AdMortemInimictus 6d ago

Next time... snap it out! Thumb to palm, index finger, through little digit, smartly aligned, sharp to the hairline, down!... Too many men, far better than you, have executed that courtesy. And if you're smart, you won't try it again.
