Did they remove the Thing reference on Antarctic Peninsula?

I haven’t played AP since map lottery was implemented, but I remember there being an axe in the wall in one of the spawn rooms. If you’ve ever seen John Carpenter’s The Thing, you get the reference. Just now, though, I was in a skirmish lobby and noticed it was missing. I know you can knock it out of the wall, but I didn’t think it despawned if you did, so was it removed, or did somebody come through earlier and just abscond with it somehow?

It’s in one of the spawns of the Labs sub-map, I think. If you get into the hallway above the doors, at the left-side end is a red emergency light, and underneath is where the axe usually is.

One side has it, the other does not. Both have the red light.

The thread’s run its course so I’ll guess I’ll ask: does The Thing still stand up in this day and age? It’s one of those films I’ve known about for yonks, but somehow never got around to watching.

It absolutely does. It’s a great atmospheric movie to just get cozy and watch with the lights off.

You reminded me that I need to see it and the prequel.
