    Never seen this one before. He was a 0 pinger, so the whole thing about coordinates being messed up was normal. But all those extra (yellow) arrow indicators . . . I'd say they have something to do with where we (his team-mates) were at some point or other, except that . . . there's more than 12 of them.

    The one yellow arrow facing forward is actually him. But as for the rest . . . your guess is as good as mine.

    It does looks like a bombing run with them all facing the same direction.
    Oh lord...
    Aerospace confirmed!?

    it actually could be the Air Strike is bugging the mini map, and showing up as a destroy-able object...

    sounds plausible. Doesn't distinguish between friendly and enemy strikes. Would still be A LOT of strikes, but not unheard of. Doesn't explain the single dorito at the bottom of the minimap that is facing a different direction...

    They really do look like death locations (enemy AND friendly). They are all located in typical kill zones.

    but who the fuck has 14 players in a game die all facing the same direction? You are probably correct, but I like the bomber theory, just for visuals.

    If you notice, when mechs die, their dorito instantly faces north.
    just sayin'

    That's a good point, Sol. Probably the best theory I've heard so far as well, as it's the only one that can really explain the presence of 14+ of those arrows.

    Only problem is there are a lot of missing doritos, but that could be explained by hidden enemies. The lower red is being spotted by what looks like an AFK team mate. The rest could be out of sight of the Stalker.
     
  14. The phantom doritos often appear at the end of CW matches for me.
