Apparently not the same ones that you skipped... Find the word 'suggestion' in this... as you will see, they aren't even synonyms..... A suggestion implies that I am purposefully attempting to impart my own convictions upon someone else in the attempt to make them perform an action of my choosing. However- as you can see, my posts on here are simply ideas- nowhere was it said by me that the devs should make a Pacific Theater with what I listed above- I simply said that if they did- these things could be in it...

i·dea·less adj.
Synonyms: idea, thought, notion, concept, conception
These nouns refer to what is formed or represented in the mind as the product of mental activity. Idea has the widest range: "Human history is in essence a history of ideas" (H.G. Wells).
Thought is distinctively intellectual and stresses contemplation and reasoning: "Language is the dress of thought" (Samuel Johnson).
Notion often refers to a vague, general, or even fanciful idea: "She certainly has some notion of drawing" (Rudyard Kipling).
Concept and conception are applied to mental formulations on a broad scale: You seem to have absolutely no concept of time. "Every succeeding scientific discovery makes greater nonsense of old-time conceptions of sovereignty" (Anthony Eden).

LMAO nice attempt buddy but in your copy/paste of google you missed out the fact that IT DOES mention suggestion in the collins dictionary definition of IDEA. Editing out the point just proves you are a dullard.

Which is my point precisely. An idea about a game, put forth in the forum of the game's developer is a suggestion pure and simple. Go back to school kiddo.

Look at this- We're in a forum for a video game arguing about the definition of a word simply because you don't like the idea that someone doesn't agree with you-

Then you've got to get all condescending and such? You have absolutely no idea who I am or what I've done in my life and yet you still have the gall to call me 'kiddo', and tell me to go back to school? Great way to give up all your credibility and dignity, by trolling the 1C forums.

You think I'm a dullard- I guess you haven't gotten the clues yet then- did you not read the very first post in the thread? you mean you really think I'm an idiot and you don't even know anything about me- you've read not even a dozen posts and you've already come to the conclusion that you are better than me... wow man. You really need to get out more... when was the last time you came out of your moms basement?

By the way- here's an edit for you- I'd be willing to wager a great deal of money that says I have a much higher education than you do. Even if the definitions of the two words were similar- and the aren't, what does that have to do with you being a higher and mightier person than me? Like I said.... I bet I'm far more educated than you are.

You have confused me with someone who gives a **** what you think. Im not arguing, Im stating fact. And lets be clear here, you made a pointed remark to a member about not posting in your thread because you didnt like it. I simply challeged you on the fact. One which you have seen fit to try and "cheat" at (by editing out the line) when proven to be incorrect by your own hand.

PS I live in a river side apartment.
PPS and Im 31
PPPS I can tell just by your attitude and writing pattern that your American or possibly Canadian.

jesus h christ on a stick!!!

man let the guy have his thread if you dont like what he stated in his op then dont participate in the thread simple really

i think what he posted is a great idea and enjoyed reading most of this thread untill the goddamm punctuation police and the all knowing dictonary brigade show up and turn it into another dick waving thread

i think some ppls egos are getting a little out of hand (you know who you are ppl)

now if a moderator told him to post in another thread then fair enough but the first guy to jump on the high and mighty bandwagon isnt even a moderator ffs!!

you call him kiddo ?? yet you yourself in your post are acting like a spoilt brat !!!

and yes i cant spell and i dont care if you pick my post to death pointing out my mistakes i have a life and dont give a flying s...!!!

And?
I'm a combat veteran of the 1st Infantry division, US Army.
I spent 27 months in Iraq and 10 years in Germany.
I own my own house.
I own 2 SAAB 9-5's.
I am working on my Masters in Cultural Anthropology with a minor in Military History.

you can tell by my writing patterns that I'm from the US or Canada? Everyone can- we use unique spellings and speech patterns... that isn't exactly special.... all it means is that you have a couple of braincells- just don't rub them together too much, you might start a fire.

Sound familiar? Now you're just being a hypocrite, bordering on charlatan.

to get this back on track, i 'suggest' a level playing as The Flying Tigers, American volunteers who fought the Japanese in China, mainly using P-40s

also maybe we could play as the Russians againts the Japanese (yes they did fight each other ) along with more planes like the Lagg- 3 and Mig 3, and of course japanese planes.

oh and fyi, a mission using P-38s to hunt down admiral Yamamoto has allready been done in the PS2 game "Heroes of the Pacific"

thanks
 

thanks, now i'll stop- I've got a headache now anyways... jeez man just trying to open a thread for ideas on the Pacific- that aren't all the stereotypes that you see in all games...

as long as they re-create iwo jima on the new engine i will be a happy camper

I didn't know that about heroes of the pacific... yes the Russians did fight eachother... but not during World War Two until very near the end (the soviets didn't declare war until August 8th 1945). before World War two though, yes- A few very bloody skirmishes happened--- they were all very bad border incidents. I already had the Flying Tigers in the first post.
