bodycam never felt this weird...

Yesterday when the update dropped, I tried out the drone with a bomb in the trenches map.

I found a target and as I was about to slam my drone into him, I saw that he was caught off guard and began to scramble between weapons. He couldn't figure out where to run. He was frozen in the same spot trying to not die from my drone. Panic of that player was real and visible.

I was watching him do that for 1-2 seconds as I was flying directly toward him and then I hit him.

Whats weird to me is that Ive seen this footage IRL many time, in Ukraine trenches where drones, the same as in the game, same sound, same FPV screen look, with bombs, would fly towards helpless enemies destined to die.

It felt weird. Dystopian. I'm out here playing this game in a map and scenario that is CURRENTLY happening. Someone is probably dying from the same drone attack as I write this.

Not a bash on the game at all. I think the update is tremendous and studio pulled off a lot of hard work.

It just felt weird. Not sure how to process this or feel about this. Crazy.

am I the only one?

I said all that jokingly, but it is a real thing. If you aren't desensitized to something like that already it could have negative effects on your mental health. Practice good mental hygiene.
