When i load an arena it sometimes says Squirrels with cameras are for your protection, what does that mean and how come i have never seen a squirrel in this game before. I like looking stuff up on you tube so here is another video i found about squirrels in a war. Thought it was funny and made me think of the tip in the game so i decided to post about it, you don't have to watch the clip its more of just a laugh your butt off thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hli8dLzjPY8&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hli8dLzjPY8&feature=related)
Sorry for the graphic ending forgot about that, not recommended for people under 13.

All that you have to know is that they are for your protection.
No questions asked.

what you think of video?

Spawn out of a rear vehicle base at least four sectors from any action. Drive up to a clump of trees and turn off your engine. Sit in a position to where you can see the trees without moving your views. DO NOT!! I REPEAT, DO NOT GET IN THE TURRET!!!! Don’t move your views or interact with the game at all for ten minutes. Don’t even type or bump your mouse (actually it is best to lock your mouse in place with the “h” key). Just sit and wait. After about ten minutes you will start to see little squirrels move around. Try it, it’s cool. The latest patch added light brown and dark brown squirrels. They used to only be black.
P.S. This usually works best if you spawn North or Northeast for some reason. I thinks it’s a bug actually.

Also, don't forget to move your detail slider all the way to the left. Good luck.

Did u do what I said to do? Don't just expect a handout go figure it out yourself.
-
I will when the arena isn't so full
-
Go to the early war arena. It will work in there too.
-
good idea
-
will it work with a jeep?
-
Yes, jeeps are best.

Make sure you got your nuts with you and stock up on something really good to drink. :D

Did anyone watch the video link i posted?

Really? Hmmm.
Did you have troops in the jeep or supplies? If you had troops that is going to be your problem. All of those people can't sit still in a jeep at once and not make noise so the squirrels get scared off. HTC realized that and made it so a jeep full of troops won't see the squirrels (they are very careful about realism). Also, did you fire your gun at all on your way out to the trees? If you did that scared them off. DON'T DO THAT!!!! The last thing that I forgot to mention and I really apologize for forgetting this is that you need to drive up to the trees in first gear. If you go too fast they will also not come out.
If that doesn't work I may need for you to post a film so I can see what you are doing wrong.
Give it another shot and record it this time. K? K.

I will when I get home. Youtube is blocked here.
Read my post above and try it again.

:rofl I know the one that you are thinking of, but I think the following quote from P.T. Barnum applies to this thread and my boring day at work a little better. :D ;)
"Without promotion something terrible happens... Nothing!”

"More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing in nothing, than by believing too much." P.T. Barnum
Awesome quote. :noid

"A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five."
Gotta love Groucho Marx. :D

OMG!!! I totally got to see them!
I didn't have much luck sneaking up in a jeep, so I upped a goon from another sector and climbed to 10k. Then I shut off my engines and glided to the VBase so I wouldn't scare them with the noise. After touchdown, I rolled to a stop so the squeaky brakes wouldn't spook 'em, then bailed out and walked to the next grove of trees away. After standing for about 15 minutes they came out and I saw a flash as one took my picture! WTG HTC on the extra little details. :rock

lolz on the hippy lettuce :lol

Possums rule with cameras.

The farther you drive from a base the better your results will be. I have seen squirrels near the bases but they are VERY skittish. I have found that driving at least 3-4 keypads away from a base helps alot. I normally can see the squirrels within a couple of minutes when 18-20 miles from a base. Just remember DO NOT CHANGE VIEWS or they will stay hidden.
-
Any screenshots? or would they run away?
-
I have tried screenshots but they never show anything conclusive. First person is the way to go. I'm making a run out tonight to squirrel watch.

ever been Snipe hunting?
:lol

Ok, I used Photoshop to show you the squirrel I found while waiting patiently outside an airbase in the early evening...took me about 45 minutes of complete silence and I had to stand dead still. People were PM'ing me trying to find out if I was AFK or just didn't like them anymore - because I couldn't chance scaring the squirrels away again by replying to them.
Here's the full screenshot

Here's a closeup of the marked area; can you see the squirrel? He's there protecting the base's flank from GV attack.

I thought I seen that last night when I came into the office to turn off my computer, I had been spawn camping in a tiger and went and had dinner, watched tv and had a few beers then came back into the office, the front had moved on and little squirrells were popping up with their little flashes occaisionally flashing. Who'd a thunk it.

How much snake oil would you give me for some waterfront land in Florida

Here's a photo of the squirrels practicing their kung-fu.

Thats a greatly detailed squirrel, wish i could of seen one, but i just don't have the patents lol.
-
Cool thing is if you're willing to be patient, if you let the squirrel take your picture (the flash goes off), you are "marked" by the server as being indestructable for an hour of game time. Just .ef right after he takes your picture, up whatever plane you want and go crazy.
-
you guys are just plain mean...
reminds me of the time when I was very young and my dad had my older brother, go up on the roof of the sugar shack and shovel off the steam, cuz it was to heavy and would cave in the roof. :rofl
-
ever been Snipe hunting?
:lol
Get the sacks and flashlights... :D
You can go to the Texas Capitol, sit on the grounds and hand feed squirrels. We buy a large bag of unshelled raw peanuts. They love those things. They will come right up and take them from your hand. They'll eat them right there too. When getting the peanut from your hand they usually hold onto your finger.
You can also toss a peanut up and the bluejays will catch them.

My dad had me going on those stupid stop signs. You know, "If it has a white border than stopping is optional." I believed that for years.

Dot excellent job, dude. Given that they only appear for a second at the longest you really achieved a feat of patience there.

My brother told me if I colored outside the lines in my coloring books I would go to jail. Years later I told my mom about it and she told me they had wondered why I just stopped coloring all of the sudden.

Do you find yourself also falling for the "Alt-F4 for teh n00k" too? :P

Ok,
Then how come when you fly a goon at 20k, turn inverted and look down at the landscape directly under you at twilight, you can see all the littel flash bulbs going off in the trees? Secret celebrity nudi camps with popperazzi hanging in the branches? HiTech testing his latest GV in secret? The Easter Bunny in drag...HuH? Enquiring minds NEED to KNOW.
The truth is out there.........:noid

You gotta be kidding me.
There's no way I was that gullible, is there?
Like, I was just kidding. I didn't really believe there were squirrels running around if you didn't do anything in the game for a long time. Nope, I didn't believe that at all... :eek:
