hobbicon 19 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Hello,why do the Russians have their own forum section?It feels a little bit like cold war, the Russians on the one side, and the Western countries on the other side. Edited July 31, 2012 by hobbicon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semipr0 402 Posted July 31, 2012 Because a lot of Russians play the game. Arma 2 is developed by a development house in the Czech Republic.From what I understand, Arma 2 itself is more popular with the European player base than it is in the Western hemisphere.

Sticker704 121 Posted July 31, 2012 If you played Arma 2 and joined a random server, you bet your arse that you'll find plenty of Russian speakers on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinoby 39 Posted July 31, 2012 No, not really. It's because not all Russian speaking people have good knowledge of English. Yet, some Russian players are supporting this mod from the very beginning, hence their own section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spacecaps 101 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) why do the Russians have their own forum section?It feels a little bit like cold war, the Russians on the one side, and the Western countries on the other side.Because Russians are half of game's population, and most of us can't speak English, or can't speak it well enough. There are a lot of Russians in English part of the forums though, so that doesn't feel like cold war, no./thread Edited July 31, 2012 by KizUrazgubi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hobbicon 19 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) So do the French or the Germans (like me). I think it divides the community. Or do you have any idea what they are talking about "down there" Edited July 31, 2012 by hobbicon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CypukaT 20 Posted July 31, 2012 Jelous? U mad bro? :-Dstop thinking with stereotypes, enjoy game, learn Russian, if ur so interested what's going on down there ;-)Btw, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?... )))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paeyvn 23 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) If gamePopulation.percentage >= 50 then forumSection.language = gamePopulation.language;Jelous? U mad bro? :-Dstop thinking with stereotypes, enjoy game, learn Russian, if ur so interested what's going on down there ;-)Btw, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?... ))))And yes, stereotypes aren't helpful. No idea why people always think sinister ulterior motives when people talk in another language...it's like they think it's a cult. TBH i'd love to learn Russian, the language fascinates me, but I've never had the time to try to pick it up, and I'm generally terrible with language...learning spanish/italian was a huge headache and I've forgotten most of it these days.Also, the same thing we do every night Pinky, try to take over the world!

BL1P 252 Posted July 31, 2012 Its a good way to keep track of the hackers if they have their own forum section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinoby 39 Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah. Talking about stereotypes. Please, don't even start the "all Russians are hackers".About "why not use Google translate". Because it's translation is really bad, when it translates to Russian. And believe me, You don't want to read Russian translated to English. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneboys 7988 Posted July 31, 2012 All ArmA games are released in the East, then Germany, then the rest of €urope and last but not least, the US of A.About 6 months between first & last.Maybe things will change with ArmAIII.I've been playing the latest DLC for the last couple of days, the little men do not speak English.
