    "Quid pro quo" = This for that

    It means an even exchange, one for one.

    Its a movie quote.

    Now, quid pro quo, what does "Non Ego, Adeo Laboro" mean?

    No, not at all. You just weren't thinking movies. . .you were thinking about birds.

    I, as the Rooster, think there should be more birds on the map. Birds all over the map. Juicy little Pea Hens. . . mmmmmmmmmm.

    Re: Birds

    Birds aren't random, they are a triggered ambient effect. The triggers are:

    1)move
    2)fire
    3)explosion

    If you see birds flying out of trees, either a chopper/plane went by the trees at low altitude, someone threw a grenade in there or fired near the trees, or someone entered the trigger area.

    You forgot to add:

    4) Someone on your squad ate Mexican

    I know, it's probably a combination of 1-3, but I figured it deserved its own category.

    Next one that comes to mind is in Clean Sweep, some at the (oh crap, I don't have a map with names) northernmost CP and along the road north of the small airstrip.

    Actually, you see them almost anywhere there are trees. I always consider that if I'm close enough to see them, 80% of the time I set them off. The other 20% I'm dead.

    Well that beats a claymore; I've never had a bird tk my squadmate.
