Now figure out why they called "Aurum" aurum... did you want more gold ammo?

What makes you say it's a reference to gold ammo? Why can't it just be a reference to gold?

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Because we all know that the marketing clown they hired back then who came up with the $1000 pants nonsense, forgot his name, proposed it and tried to push it.

Does he still work there?

Lets not forget now we got an even bigger clown running the show from Electronic Arts.


AUrum is still in the game, it was never removed, there is a reason for that.

You should diff every patch and you can see what they sneak in there that is not listed in the patch notes, developers are very leaky of future business plans in the patch assets and artefacts.
