I mean no offence here to the US peeps, but dont you there are enough US-centric games on the market as it is? Granted some of the big publishing houses are based in the US so some bias towards that market it to be expected.

I find it refreshing that for once the US have to take a backseat in a games story, where the focus is on how the UK and Russia faired in the war.

I dont want to bellitle the war effort of the US servicemen but the pacific campaign was not a very stellar enviroment for aerial combat. The actual scenery would consist largely of open ocean and on the odd occasion an island. Its not the greatest setting for a game with such great landscaping effects and other visual treats.

However adding in more missions from the US airforce campaign over Europe would be in keeping with the games feel and I would support it.

Most war games on the market have an American campain, fair dos you were in WWII and saved us Limeys skins, and cheers for that, but do you honestly think that those games would have sold aswell if they hadnt got a US campain mode?

Most of my favorite XBL quote came for Americans
"I dont know why you guys call it English, we invented it".
"Do you Know the Queen?" (one of the most common)
"England, what state is that in?"


but to be fair there are some damn fine chaps from the US out there.

How did they save us? They helped us win the war (thanks for that) but im not so sure they saved us. We kept the third reich at bay after 1940, granted we couldnt of invaded europe on our own but we could of survived ourselves as an island.

Unless the atlantic convoys comes under saving us? if so then yes i agree they did save us with those, giving us much needed supplies. Again - thanks for that

Another quote you failed to mention

"hey you british fag, we won the war of independence, we havn't lost a war yet" - clearly vietnam must slip your mind?

"Hey you british fag, we won the civil war" - well yeah naturally!!! you were fighting yourselves you dick

The above 2 quotes are usually aimed at me by americans under the age of 15, though the occasional "adult" will use them to. On the whole though the americans i do talk to are a great bunch who dont **** about.

Us brits are just as bad sometimes unfortunately.

Haha, hey you british fag:
1) Congress lost Vietnam when they banned any funding for South Vietnam in 1973. Also the Rambo movies rule, so from that perspective you might say that we won it.
2) Depends on where you're from, being from North Carolina, you might say my countrymen lost it. But goddamit we looked good doing it!
3) In war, nobody wins(though the Carthaginians might disagree, that is if they still existed to disagree. For those not in the know: Carthage was razed to the ground by the Romans after losing the Punic Wars)

Also why would someone brag to an Englishman about winning the American civil war? I'm pretty sure England won the English civil war too!
