I just know I am going to get flamed...but
Why are so many people seemingly obsessed with Nazi imagery? Do they find it glamourous? I am not trying to insult anyone, just perplexed? |
i agree, should be more Allied pics
|
Yea right on!

Hello,
There's nothing bad about your post and i don't think you'll get flamed except maybe by some closed minds. You know, in my case, i'm not obsessed with Nazi symbols, i don't take for nazis nor i would like to reverse history even if my sig tell so. What seem to be obsessing is a need for some to take the other clan (you need enemy in this game), for some others, it's simply the history of the germans in wwii that they are obsessed with. You can have great admiration of what germany war history was without approving what was done by them. It's two very different things. In this forum, it's more for fun and gaming than anything else. It was reality, now everybody on this forum seem addict to this game that is trying to copy a portion of this reality. Having players trying to act like if they were real nazis just add to the competition nothing more. Trying to portray players playing nazis would be the same thing to try to compare playing this game to killers... __ WolfX http://www.maxonline.net/wolfx.jpg |
Ok,
I understand that rationale, and agree that mp needs some people to be the Nazi's and to get the immersion factor a little role play is not harmful. I just sometimes worry that it could be attractive to the skinhead neo-nazi white power nutters. But thanks for a reasoned reply. |
I saw someone playing,about 3 people,and they were real nazis.Much more fun to kill http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif

Btw, how do you know they were "real nazis"? They told you they were via chat? __ WolfX http://www.maxonline.net/wolfx.jpg |
As long as they're NOT real Nazis I don't care. Remember that not all Germans were nazis.

What site do you go to in order to download some great pixs?

It doesnt mean that if you have a nazi image that you are follower of neo-nazism. ------------------ My passport states that I am a man, but I am still not sure. http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/...y/beerchug.gif |
I always play the Germans,I just think they were the greatest of all.With a small country they almost took over Europe.

Webb, good I hope to be able to kill you someday.

"A small country" Webb? By European standards Germany is huge. I believe its 2nd only to France in size(unless you want to count part of Russia). With their population glut they were truely a powerhouse. WolfX, how can you have great admiration for what German War History did and not appove of what they did? That is the same thing. Do you appove of what was done in the Warsaw Ghetto? That wasn't the Gestapo, that was Wehrmahct. How about asking Russian peasants what they thought of the German War Machine. That isn't war, it's murder. I admire German attention to order and discipline within their ranks and their engineering accomplishments of that era but what they did from '39-'45 was not praiseworthy. The Wehrmact was just as guilty as the SS and Gestapo of warcrimes. You can't seperate the two.

Well if you compare Germany and let's say USA,Brazil the old URSS or even Canada,you can say Gemany, it's king small.

Webb, the great error of your examples are that none of the countries are in Europe. Only Russia was a part of Europe, yet the vast majority of that country's land bulk lies in Asia.
Besides, landmass is a poor judge. Were landmass an accurate way to gauge country's power, Canada would have a far different image, no? Wonderful country, an economic powerhouse, but certainly no industrial giant. Germany was. Anyway, it is *almost*, but not quite, surprising that you are unable to realize why your glorification of Nazi symbolism is grating, to say the least. |
Webb,I asked because I wanted to know if we could find each other on the same server for that challenge. Because a friend of mine in Arizona last week we couldn't find each other on the gamespy site.

My point exactly Shoegaze. Virtually all of Europe was conquered by Germany, who, by European standards, is huge. But once the big boys (US,Russia,Canada,UK(?)) came to the rescue, they were pretty much playing defensive ball for the remainder of the war.

I don't use Gamespy,after I download the patch,there's no need to go there. But I believe if you go to Gamespy,and look up for your friend,you will be able to find,or better just ask him which server he will be playing. Or you or him can host a game,that will be the easiest to do,because that way you know the server's name and map. ------------------ http://members.aol.com/jvbond0007/grp203.jpg |
Cool, thanks. Do you want to do that challenge today? It looks like you are starting a real war here.
