/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm trying out Combined Arms for the first time, mainly because I became excited to learn that it was getting an update, even if I've never actually played it before. I'm playing it on Valiant (vaccinated, obviously) with Beautiful Doom monsters. Other than one sprite conflict (kicking with the fists shows the shotgun-sergeant's disembodied leg up in the top left, thanks to beautiful doom), things are working fine and I'm having a lot of fun! Dumb question, though, is the Flaregun meant to be a reference something? I remember someone mentioning it here, but asking for it to be removed in the CA update. (probably as a joke, I dunno)
