The tree, which was in Tripwire’s multiplayer shooter "Rising Storm 2: Vietnam" until earlier this week:



The player's request:

So there’s Huey’s in this game and I love to fly them, favourite role by far. There’s a landing zone with some tree cover fairly close to an objective which I like to try and use when possible but because its so close to the objective I get under heavy fire when I come in for a landing. So what I tend to do is fly extremely low and fast, pull a 180 and land to get my guys out there before an RPG blasts me rotor off.

However the exit out of the LZ was blocked by a lone, lanky, thin tree. In the heat of the moment I’d glance out and see an exit and head there only to be met with that tree but I’d keep forgetting about it and I’d repeatedly just smash into it.

It’s such a small issue I know. Like this one tree in some irrelevant part of one map but it serves no purpose. It’s too small and thin for cover, it’s directly in the middle of a big pathway from the river. Replace it with a rock or something that won’t snap my [helicopter’s] blades in half.

It’s just a fucking ball-ache.

The patch notes this week:

This is pretty funny.
---

They should have just told him to get good
---

so much for the tolerant left
---

They wasted money to remove one tree because some loser can't gitgud?
---

"Fuck this tree in particular."
"We agree, fuck that tree."

This is the kind of gamer/developer communication we need in today's industry.
---

I think it's pretty cool. They even shouted him out in the patch notes lol

Agreed, I think it's hilarious.

Liberals and their social justice nonsense ruining yet another game.
---

What's SJWy about removing a single tree?

Liberals hate trees!
---

That tree was a serious pain in the ass.
---

I think that's pretty cool of them.

Was that the game Cr1tical played a couple weeks back where he blew his teammates up by accident with an artillery strike?
---

Would have been funnier if they put a bunch more trees.

But still cool.

I feel like as far as supporting their games and communicating with the community, Tripwire generally does a good job. I remember Killing Floor 1 getting updates for the longest damn time after release.

Reminds me of the weapon pad glitch in Halo 5. Basically you could create custom weapons that had qualities of multiple weapons, like a shotgun that fired a scattershot of rockets for example.

343's patch notes:

-Fixed problem where players could create custom weapon configurations on weapon pads
-Saw awesome community videos and posts on the internet
-Unfixed problem where players could create custom weapon configurations on weapon pads

Why all the hate? This was good of them
---

Virtual tree lives matter.
---

Damn PC libby hippies
---

Impressive.
---

This is the developer having a sense of humor and understanding that some parts of the game are just superfluous and are better off removed. Fuck everyone ITT who turn something cool into a political issue. Fuck you, fuck you, Fuuuuuuuuuuck, you.

SJWs will find this anti-environmentalist and will try to get the tree back
---

I thought that was really nice of them. What does this even have to do with sjws? are you guys just being sarcastic?

This. Imagine if the same logic could work with Rockstar.

If it were an actual landing strip, that tree would have been removed
