Foxhole tastic. Let's hope the camo breaks up your outline enough to stop quickfire headshotting

I really like the camouflage net.

The holes on the sides are terrible. Sandbags are not bricks, they are far too deformable to make such neat holes like that. If any, the holes should be much narrower, but I think in general they are a bad idea.

Instead, the variation of the sandbag height should allow shooting from cover, and by the screenshots this is already done.

Also, would it be possible to extend the nets to the sides, as if they are tethered there and not only resting on the sandbags? i.e., instead of:

(side view, # is dirt, % are sandbags, lines are net profile)

Code:

    ___
   / | \
   %%%%%
   #####
  #######

Make it like this:

Code:

    ___
   / | \
  /%%%%%\
 / ##### \
/ ####### \

Meaning, no matter the height of the dirt mound, the net extends to the ground around it. I think it would make the whole thing blend much better in its surroundings, because the net is partially transparent.

Look at the sandbags.

The Hole will collapse.
