Threads like this make me treasure my ignorance

Oh for goodness' sake. Heard of the rape of Nanking? Dammit, now I'm doing it too.

Come on guys... keep it light.

This has doubtlessly been brought up before, but what would be wrong with implementing the old system for melee where there's a smacking sound and two soldiers fall over dead on one side, then another smacking sound and maybe one soldier on the other side falls over, etc etc until one side gives up or is annihilated?

LMAO that's the funniest thing I've read all day. If you're actually serious it'd be even more funny

Thanks guys, I never read up on the Panzer 1 before. Interesting stuff!

Hey, I thought one of the grogs here would be able to tell me what tank this is in this liveleak video: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a56_1327614706 It's at the 2:01 minute mark and I'm curious because it looks so... small.

As a side-note, I find the thread name amusing, as it appears Echo is attempting to directly address the tanks of the game with his plea.

Good god if that's in the game I'll be impressed. Next level of detail would be keeping track of each individual soldiers' bladder and the corresponding reduction in performance as it becomes full.

Tons of other games manage to fit vast numbers of sound effects into memory during gameplay. Is it an issue of compression technology or programming techniques that big-budget titles are able to afford but you guys can't? I honestly mean with no offense with this comment, but I just feel as though it's obvious that other games manage to pack tons of unique sound effects into memory just fine.

Oh is this guy like Yahtzee or something? He didn't seem like he was speaking tongue in cheek at all to me.

Specifically it's these two paragraphs here: So they're moving through hostile territory and one of the guys takes out a guard. Quickly and humanely, no less. OH MY GOD! WHAT A MONSTER!!! They're infiltrating an enemy camp surrounded by hundreds of hostile soldiers, and this guy thinks his character should bonk the sentry on the head or PERSUADE HIM TO LEAVE? Is this guy SERIOUS? And then, after his character offs the sentry, he gets all maudlin about the whole terrible experience, probably suffering from PTSD in real life afterwards. The fact of the matter is that the killing is justified. You're trying to stop a weapon of mass destruction from being detonated in a major urban center, and you're killing mercenaries to do it. He's unable to realize the fact that taking lives in this context is above reprehension. The fact that he couldn't get his mind around this concept is why I think he might easily think that U.S. soldiers are just as bad as murderers for not "knocking them out" or "making friends" or something else similarly infantile. The middle of the review is pretty much standard fare even though it's evident to me he's just pulling stuff out of his ass to support his negative feelings towards the game, but then at the end he projects a whole bunch of his gay fear into the game and ends with this stunning gem: Basically saying that anyone that enjoys this game is a homosexual. A fitting end for a review written by a homophobic retard. What I don't understand is that there's a million other things he could have discussed that would have been infinitely more valid and relevant. The game is a veritable cornucopia of flaws. At one point it crassly portrays a child getting blown up in a cynical attempt to get an emotional rise out of the player, for instance. But he doesn't mention that. He complains about the horrible time he was force to stab a mercenary in the throat in order to save the world instead.

I think it's his childlike inability to understand the presence of killing during wartime that gets to me. He seems like the kind of guy who would spit on a returning soldier because he's a "murderer".

I read that article today, raged, and later saw the new module information on battlefront.com, so I decided to swing by the forums and check things out. I'm always ticked when the different sites I visit somehow interconnect. While I was reading that load of garbage, I was seriously considering signing up for an account and posting an essay on why he's the biggest f*ggot I've ever found online. And that's not a pejorative I've ever wanted to use for anyone before in my life. Of all the countless complaints he could make about MW3, he picks the portrayal of killing during wartime to get all self-righteous about? Normal Dude had a good one, but I think he'd be more likely to churn out something like this: "As the German forces surrendered, did my men cease firing, as any decent human being would have done in such a situation? No, of course not, they kept raining fire down on these unarmed men, killing them all in a heinous act of evil madness that made me wish I could give an order to execute them for their crimes on the spot. All because there was another enemy soldier or two still firing on them! And these are the kind of people I'm expected to want to lead to victory? Later, when my men were breaching a building, they surprised a group of Germans. Did they try to knock them out and spare their lives? Did they try to talk them into walking away? No, they mercilessly gunned them down, shooting them repeatedly in the back. This game is a disgusting travesty and I felt dirtied by playing it and having anything to do with the awful, awful human beings depicted within it. For shame, for shame." The guy also clearly barely played the game since he manages to describe Yuri, a battle-hardened soldier, as an "impressionable young Russian", and projects his own gay fear into every scene of the game he encounters. Crawling behind another soldier = gay? What a stupid, hopeless idiot.

"Ok, I'm looking at it. I still don't see why you wanted me to- Hey, what are you doing with that panzerschreck?!"
