Made a parody recruitment poster in the style of Russian military contract service ads
>REAR-ECHELON SERVICE. DUBAI CITY. ENLIST NOW!
>The 33rd "Damned" Infantry Battalion is seeking recruits.
>NOT HEROISM! (Underlined: Civilian Evacuation)
>Competitive pay
>Sign-on bonuses & privileges
>Full benefits package (including water)
I was a bit hesitant to post this here at first since all the text is in Russian, but I really wanted to share the artwork.
>!The joke is based on a popular local web-trope where people parody military ads. In real sketchy UAV recruitment ads, they always write "NOT ASSAULT" (which basically translates to promising a "Non-Assault MOS" or a safe rear job). Russian internet community turned it into a meme template for different gaming universes. For example, in Pirate-themed memes, the poster says "NOT BOARDING!", in Viking-themed ones, it's "NOT A BERSERKER!", and for Spec Ops, I tweaked it to "NOT HEROISM!" to fit the game's vibe!<
P.S. Fun fact: when this hit some mainstream RU gaming pages, a bunch of casuals totally shat their pants before realizing it's just a game meme.
