Actually, it's 'Starlight', but I have no idea why they say that. Guess we'll need one of our UK brethren to shed some light. Alex? :thumbsup:

It's British radio code for medic, but I doubt they actually yell it on the ground like in SF.

I remember when SF first came out that a lot of the UK players were pretty ticked off at how the voices and mannerisms of the SAS were handled.

Yea, they portrayed the British Army as some ancient military force from circa 1920...

No one shouts Foxhounds or Starlight now, in the same way that no one wears handlebar moustaches or talks about the damn Zulus.

It's kinda like how the PAC in 2142 speaks some weird russian-ish language...

Makes me laugh, everyone thinks the way all the british talk are from london, but i guess its the easy form to identify us as the british.
