So America Must Have Had A Decent Presence In This Game

The army actually has this "backward" flag on all of their ACU's. I think it's supposed to designate that the flag is flying to your back; i.e. you are always charging forward into the fight. Keep in mind that is just a Marines perspective.

 

Im not in the military, but this is what I have always heard from someone who was.  If the patch was on the person/vehicle's left side it would be facing the way that we are used to seeing it displayed.

I found a UN beret last night, but then I got killed before I could have a right look at it.

 

The UN's presence can explain why american weaponry and equipment is present, along with virtually any other foreign military equipment they choose to add in the future.

Well if Dean or anyone else has had a story in there head planned for this it would be awesome to eventually hear it. I mean i can understand generic virus and zombie lore but its still nice to hear the developers twist and views on the scene of what went down when it did considering locations are just brimming with lore themselves at times but we have no way of piecing together things.

I wonder what the Payday guys were doing in Chernarus...

 

Speaking about that, where is the Bank building ?

Okay, the UN doesn't just "impose sanctions." The UN peace keeping forces are usually volunteered by different countries to "keep the peace" in what ever war torn, ravaged, genocidal country. In a pandemic like this, which lets face it, a zombie outbreak WOULD be reported as wide spread rioting and killing. Chances are, a UN peace keeping force was dispatched and was quickly eaten. This force can consist of a lot of other countries. 

 

I find it less like for NATO to interfere into Russian land, as Russia is not a member of NATO and NATO entering a non-NATO country would be viewed as an act of war. (Sorry for all the NATO's).

 

Seeing as there aren't US Army bodies littered everywhere, I'm guessing American's there were advisers to the situation, likely officers, to help what ever UN peace keeping force came in. Then they were swiftly eaten. FYI the UN is very lucrative for poor countries because they outfit the peace keeping force with boots, utilities, flak jackets and kevlars. A lot of African countries to peace keeping operations to outfit their armies at low cost.

Very much this i want to hear the story but without a story it gives them free range to put in what ever they like in weapons its not unbelievable that america or any other country might not have come to the aid of chenarus.(think they would need to hire a good fiction writer lol)

 

I would expect far more local weapons in the area but really i hope they have plenty of other nations guns aswell i want as much variety as they can throw at us as long as the spawn rate reflects how much rarer it would be in this sort of area.

Keep in mind that is just a Marines perspective. I'm sure google has a multitude of answers  for this question though. Army uniforms will always have the stars closest to the soldiers chest though.

 

Keep in mind, in any sort of slow developing apocalypse, NATO/UN is going to attempt to intervene. Chances are the USA doesn't like zombies much, so Russia was stop number one.

 

Really though, I think this game is just Russia on a normal day. That place is crazy!

 

I was about to post the reason as to why the flag is "backwards", but you set the OP straight.

 

You have my beans.       O7
