    I was at the peak of a snowy mountain in the middle of the night, when the sky lit up with meteors falling to earth. A few landed not far in front of me, was absolutely awesome to watch, and lasted AGES!

    Can a dev confirm, or anyone else that has witnessed this event?

    I saw something like that once, but it was pretty small and seemed to come from nowhere. I assumed it was a tracer or some kind of shrapnel effect from a gun. Didnt hear a sound and havent seen it since. Also it lasted about 1 second.

    This couldn't be mistaken for anything other than a meteor shower, for it was awesomely animated, and they were fireballs coming from the sky, smashing into the snow.

    Man, I wish i caught it on fraps!!!! Best thing i've seen in the game so far. This game, other than the various bugs that will be sorted eventually, is going to be awesome!

    Tevax, your theory is the most likely, so until it happens again, I'll go with your assumption...

    Way to make yourself look stupid, I need say nothing to help you look at as docile as you already do! As Tevax has stated, thompson firing into the sky at night from a distant can look this way to another player further along, even the fireballs coming down. So my statement, as crazy as it seemed, is quite plausible..

    Now onto you...

    Throwing insults to get your point across can only mean that, you're young seeking attention, or not smart enough to say something anyone cares about, or you're just trolling, feeding your low self esteem by putting others down.... Don't let me stop you, you now have people waiting for your next useless response. In the meantime while we wait, we'll try to guess what's wrong with you, but I'm sure your next post will shed some light.....moron

    I see from your profile that you're only 18yrs of age... Due to this, this will be my last response to you, I refuse to continue this garbage with a child, who's at the "I know everything, and I'm better than everyone" stage in their life.

    And I thought people couldn't be any more stupid, yet here is the perfect example...
    Is that what you do to get attention, see something in a game, ask if it's something that's meant to be there, on a forum based on that game, ie; best place to ask..., then get disrespectful, look at me arseholes like you, putting down other Rust players? No need to answer, whatever helps feed your need for attention, or to affirm tough guy status for your low self esteem, then be my guest.

    It's from forum regulars, that are here to answer questions and help build the Rust community, and get more people playing, than bagging the shit out of people, showing the world the kiddy playground rep it's starting to get.
    To those forum regulars supporting these children, how do you think it looks when you jump, like sheep, on these childish kids bandwagon, you're not helping the game or the community, you should probs grow up.

    Raining gunfire sounds likely. I was stalking through the woods near someone's tower when they decided to try to empty all 10,000 rounds I generously spawn my players with into the sky. As I got further away from the lunatic with the Thompson, I witnessed at first what I thought were "meteors" coming from the sky and striking the ground, trees, and rocks all around me. It was indeed the bullets from the Thompson coming back down. Really interesting to witness, especially at night. I hope that lunatic reads this post. He knows who he is.

    Thanks Blazr, I appreciate a mature response, and yes, that's exactly how it looked.

    A few of us on my server are going to try and replicate the effect with the Thompson, the effect looks AWESOME!

    without a thicker skin and a decent sense of humour, you won't make it far; somehow i doubt you are 41 like your profile suggests, kemosabe.

    beardybrine was a herobrine clone that was spammed into the threads months back. the person who made up that crap was just as emphatic as you, and tried desperately to convince us "he's real, and killed me in my house".

    you stated that it wasn't tracer rounds but " fireballs coming from the sky, smashing into the snow", which is very pretty, but hard to believe, and react negatively when people treat you like you are making it up?

    feel free to dumb vote again, but you don't have a clue.

    I don't have a problem with you mrknifey, I enjoy reading your posts, and I realise you contribute a lot to this forum and are well respected, but please don't make assumptions about me. Bringing forward what I "thought" i saw, was risky to ask about without copping ridicule, so why would I make it up. doesn't make sense...

    Why is me being 41 even being brought up, all it does for me, is find it hard to take disrespect from kids, which is not you, you're not that far behind me... Why would I make myself look old, throwing an even bigger target on my head, wouldn't i pretend to be younger on a games forum lol?!!

    I agree that thicker skin is needed, and I will probably take that advice, and I also admit that I grew up in a time of respect and common courtesy, not bad things, but i realise that things have changed, so I will just have to accept the fact and assimilate ;)

    Oh, and you're the first to spell out what my name is in reference too, most just ask what it means, you even spelt it right lol

    humph, a bad day tends to lose me a few points of subtlety, so my apologies for coming across curt:)

    the problem is that many people do indeed make up things purely for reaction; it's not intended as personal assessment, but based on experiencing exactly that happening every week. so even my first assumption is that if it sounds farfetched, and the poster seems too insistent, its probably more trolling;)

    the age sling was possibly in response to your denigration of the 18year old based on age, and perhaps a little uncalled for, so sorry for that.

    as for the name, well i pride myself on being sharp. just glad i was right lol XD

    I was hasty throwing a dumb on you, so I guess intrepidenigm's dumb on my post is deserved ;)

    We have ascertained that it was in fact Thompson gun fire from the other side of the snowy mountain i was on, but I had no idea it had that graphical effect,, with little fireballs etc, pretty awesome and unrealistic lol, and a weeee bit embarrassing :)

    I could answer this post, but I'm really just at a total loss with you. You're obviously a mid-teen bullshitter, but you've managed to convince a whole crowd to search for logical explanations for something you made up out of whole cloth. More than anything, I'm just impressed. We have a young Karl Rove here, I think.
