eleventhavenue 204 Posted March 5, 2014 Oh, wait, I misinterpreted you. If you mean it in that way, then what is your point?Do you think the USA is the only country that people ask for aid?Even we Swedes, who have a cardboard box with wheels for an armored force, and a part-time airforce, have given military aid. I think we were especially involved as a peace-keeping force in Afghanistan, for example. I think the thing we were discussing from the beginning was if you actually meant what you were saying earlier. I thinkw e are discussing something else now...Anyways, good night. I cna keep discussing this tomorrow, but I have a feeling this thread might be gone when I come back, at least if the discussion keeps going in this direction.

gemellus 77 Posted March 5, 2014 Even STALKER, another pseudo-post apocalyptic shooter in a slavic setting has a massive chunk of its arsenal not only western but American in origin. Colt 1911, Browning HP, Mossberg shotgun.... and even the LR-300, a member of the AR-15 family that people on this forum bash repeatedly*gasp*http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_weapons No, Chernarus does NOT feel like America. We only have a few guns available now, with the M4a1 (a gun used in various central and eastern european countries) being chosen due to its complexity in interchangeable parts).

(nothing bad meant, but these kinds of discussions usually derail after a while)I made a comment about rebuilding after WW2 originally, the other guy was pointing out that in most cases we are invited in to keep the peace for other nations, Like Korea and Kuwait. I was just backing up his comment with my last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick1633 136 Posted March 6, 2014 Wrong context, I was clearly referencing post war (as in WW2), as Americana is predominantly attributed to that time frame. Well apart from electricity never being "invented", electro-magnetism is generally attributed to Maxwell (a Scot) and the Internet was created by Berners-Lee (an Englishman) I'm sure you're entirely correct.But I've got a feeling you were joking as those are just too obvious not to be bait.Sorry. But the true inventer of first basic internet was in America. Robert Khan and Vint Cerf in 1950s America. tcp protocol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickyriot 1009 Posted March 6, 2014 Sorry. But the true inventer of first basic internet was in America. Robert Khan and Vint Cerf in 1950s America. tcp protocol. Totally agree in regards to TCP/IP and a distributed network. It's funny as I come from a time before WWW when the word Internet meant something different to how it's used today. Normally when people say the Internet it's referring to WWW, just one of those etymological vagaries of our time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antonioajc 500 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) As a Panamanian that lives in the continent of America, I have to say, that I hate the US for using the term "American" referring only to them. On-topic. The "American" content in the game is just a little if we think long term when Bohemia adds more items that fit the Post-Soviet State of Chernarus.

bckwrds 3 Posted March 6, 2014 No, but we are doing them a favor by coming to their aid when they cry for our help. Our country helps the people of other countries more than our own people. You may see us as sticking our nose into everyone else's business but those other countries are asking us to be there. We actually have the most diverse population of people out of all countries in the world as well. People outside of America should really do some research instead of blindly believing everything their local news outlets have to say.Holy shit this is the funniest thing I've read for ages.

mareak 50 Posted March 6, 2014 JSOC were sent in to fight and contain the Zombies and they fail thus american weapons scatter around. Then Chuck Norris make his special appearance with gun blazing but later on his down too, thus explain the cowboy hat. His cowboy boots still yet to be found. Anyway, what you say is true. Hopefully when the full game is out, more local cloths, weapons and equipments to choose from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWanderingMan 170 Posted March 6, 2014 Americans re-built Germany in their own image so they could holla holla more dolla $$$$$$$$$. Let's not hate on the US though, Britain and France were a lot worse. The wests idea of 're-building' nations is completely destroying whatever culture they had and forcing western values on them LOL. No wonder the entire middle east hates us after the meddling we've been doing for the last couple of hundred years. P.s. You can blame Britain for the whole Palestinian/Israeli conflict as well.

TheWanderingMan 170 Posted March 6, 2014 ^True, but we can't blame every American for the actions of a few. Although it does sadden me when I see people with a misguided patriotic attitude. ''Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
