past caring Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 No offence to our American bretheren-and sorry if this has already been posted, but why aren't the Anzac voices actually Australian and New Zealand accents? They're definitely Yank, imo.... :eek: 0 Quote
Treeburst155 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I guess maybe because the game was made by Yanks? 0 Quote
past caring Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 Oh, what? In the same way as when they made that U-571 film or whatever they called it? 0 Quote
Marlow Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I see several Aussies listed in the voice talent credits in the manual, so I'd say you are mistaken 0 Quote

On behalf of all Yanks, please accept our heart-felt apology for that 'ol boy. If it's any consolation, we botched our own Pearl Harbor movie too. 0 Quote

They're definitely Yank, imo.... :eek: You vulgar little heathen. No one hates Australians more than I do, and I tell you, sir, that those are authentic Australians I am hearing and loathing in the game. What is throwing you off is simply the fact that the Australians who did the voices were sober when they did the recordings. I can't speak as regards the Kiwis. Quite possibly they are accurate, possibly they are simply voices culled from various archived, unreleased Pink Floyd songs that have been subjected to electronic modification. They're Kiwis. Who can tell? Play the game in a paddock and see if a stampede starts. 0 Quote

Lawngnome Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Bah! Want to insult Yanks? Well, I won't oppose you much. I loathe my countrymen at times, especially our ruling class that "knows how I feel". Seems a bit off to assume I think like the rest of my brethren seeing as even siblings quarrel daily. Public opinion polls, can't live without them. Regardless of my nation's ignorance, and forgetting all of the horrible movies (Saving Private Ryan was the ultimate redeemer, though), we are the center of the world. Love us. Hate us. Or just hate us. Hell, we hate ourselves. Nah... I just hate those funny southerners and their backward ways. Or those wierd northerners and their "pop"... WE AREN'T EVEN A REAL COUNTRY!!! We just thought it would be beneficial to share an apartment. So then you get this wierd thing called America. All of our 1 million accents and all. What is an "American" accent anyway?? They need a poll for that one. I declare the midwestern "plainspeak" as our country's accent. None of that New Yorker crap you guys use for your games ... But, remember, all in jest my friends.... -Palko 0 Quote
MikeyD Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Do you have a mac or a pc disk? I haven't seen this mentioned yet so it may not be true, but I heard mac disks had less room than PC disks and Australian voices may have been sacrificed to fit the disk? Perhaps it was just discussed but not implimented. 0 Quote
mike_the_wino Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I too have noticed this error. Of all the .wav at least one seems to be missing..."Roight mate, it's Foster's time." BTS, please fix or do sumfink. 0 Quote

Wicky Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Just had some Aussies in a battle on my Mac and they weren't sledging the Italians, and worst of all not sounding like Rolf Harris but more Jeffrey Archer :confused: Originally posted by MikeyD: Do you have a mac or a pc disk?

Lawngnome Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 well, the esteemed states of Minnesota and Michigan also fall into the "pop" category... I'm a Michigan boy by birth, but I quickly lost my ugly northern ways when I left home... I must say being in Alabama for 2 years was the scariest experience of my life.... get this.... they have roads that AREN'T PAVED!!! That's right.... no pavement.... it's really wierd.... Not since southern Hannover and northern Northumbria have I witnessed such backward ways... Alabama doesn't need a sign to tell you that you crossed state lines.... you can tell by how much your car starts to shake from the shoddy roads... I must say, though, the one populated continent I have never been to is Australia... a disappointment I guess.... I always wondered how a nation founded on the same principles as our state of Georgia would work.... Just get all of the low-lifes and throw them in one place, and within a generation or two they turn good... well, sorta... the Aussies I have known always seemed a bit off in their humor... 0 Quote
MikeyD Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 "...they have roads that AREN'T PAVED!!!" I'm from Maine (two states up from Massachusetts) and you reminded me that recently I heard my dad talking with an old buddy. They were recalling how when they were young sections of highway route 1 running the length of the state was still a corduroy road!!! Haw! You fancy-pants gravel road people can't impress me with your stories! 0 Quote

Alabama doesn't need a sign to tell you that you crossed state lines.... you can tell by how much your car starts to shake from the shoddy roads...They like speedbumps there. They really, really like speedbumps. Michael 0 Quote

Splinty Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 If you lived up here, you'd buy water too. The stuff that comes out of the taps, strongly resembles the fetid waters of the Cesspool. (not that I'd really know, I'm scared to go in there.) 0 Quote
Mr Furious Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 There are definitely Australian voices in the game, most often tehy seem to yell "infantry attacking" or something like that. And on one mission i swear, with a combined forces group of British and Australians, that one guy sledged with a "bowl him a piano, see if he can play that" It's true!!!!! 0 Quote
