Re: I thought I was sick of WW2 shooters
Aldo, I don't know if you Europeans know this, but if America hadn't taken the Phillipines, you would all be speaking German now.
Its rather like this: If Finland had sided with the soviets, the whole Europe would be talking russia. :drevil:

I'd expect we would be talking Japanese, not German. Am I missing something here?
Don't confuse me with intellectual elitism. If America didn't exist, everyone would be speaking German. That's final.

If America didn't exist the empire would've been at full strength and won anyway. ;)

If America hadn't exist, so wouldn't black friday 1929, wouldn't have ****ed Germany even more, etc, etc, etc...

To me, it doesn't look much different to CoD2. Perhaps it's the definition of the video, but it still looks somewhat scripted and not that graphically appealing. And the "Don't worry, we're Americans!" did nothing to improve my opinion.

But don't you know Famous American Arnold Swatzenegger single handedly killed the German army and tore Hitlers' head from his body before raising the Stars n' Stripes over London?
Then get some European developers to develop WW2 games. Until then, shut up.

So it'd be perfectly ok with you if I just ignore the role the Ozzies played in the Pacific campaign and assume all the Anzacs sat on their arse for 6 years?
What I meant was rather than complaining, people should take a more proactive role and get their side of the story out there.

Complaining is getting the story out there. Voicing one's opinion is a way of making the poeple who can actually do something aware of the issue.

There is a small smigin of truth in that, what with MacArthur sending us Ozzies to ****ty little islands to fight and die in battles that didn't shorten the war by a ****ing day, all because he wanted Americans to take back the Phillippines... ****er...

Well, seeing how the entire Pacific campaign was more or less Americans wanting to regain Philippines - their territory after all - and rest of the entire war being island-hopping from one ****ty little island to another, I'd say Ozzies were quite important. Australians were also key factor in New Guinea campaign, which was pretty damn important to entire Southern Pacific war.




Ignorance can be fun kids!
The Pacific War was not a campaign to just take back the Phillipines.

lol wtf
