    A question on the Bullfrog

    So, serious matter here folks, none of this damage mumbo jumbo or PVE/PVP quarrels.

    Is the name Bullfrog a homage to the great and sadly mostly forgotten Bullfrog game developer? They made some of the coolest games back in the 80s and 90s like the incredible Magic Carpet and Populous.

    Anyone at Massive made their way from good old Guilford to Malmö?

    I'm sure I heard somewhere it's related to bullpup, something to do with the type of gun the famas is. Think it's their take on it.

    My take on the name. Thanks to the Brits, slang for a French person is Frog. FAMAS is a bullpup style weapon. So BULL(pup)FROG(French AR) makes sense....to me anyway.
