The same reason all the US medics wear Swiss flags.
I think that has more to do with that they're not allowed to use the red cross or something, I have no idea why they wouldn't use it otherwise. CoH1 also had medics with the proper red cross before release, but they changed it to the Swiss flag when it released for some reason. |
Well if you were offended I apologize. I certainly wasn't trying to offend those that take it seriously.
My post was intended towards those who DON'T take advantage of this opportunity or are only somewhat interested. I recall last fall when the open Beta was launched how incredibly difficult it was to get a game. And that was OPEN BETA. Moreover, my comment was aimed at Relic for being so cavalier in their choices when there are OBVIOUSLY people who want a voice, WOULD take it seriously and yet can't play. Maybe I could have worded it more elegantly.
In the meantime, maybe you could just appreciate you got in while others who desperately would like to join you didn't. You aren't the only offended party here.
Yea, thanks for clarifying. I get what you mean, and definitely understand the disappointment. I hope they'll allow more people to get in so you guys can have a chance as well. Sorry for stirring up stuff a little. |
I have to admit, I have gotten into other games alphas/betas and did not participate. I kindly sent whoever was in charge a message saying give my slot to someone that deserved and would actually use it. I can see where you were offended, but sometimes for some reason or another people that get in are no longer interested, forget, don't find it fun, etc. It's not they don't give a crap about the game, it shows they cared enough if they signed up in the first place.
My argument that I have heard voiced by others, especially in a limited closed alpha setting such as this, Relic should see who doesn't use their access and give it to someone else who will be willing to put the time and effort in if the original recipient doesn't want to or can't. Instead of squandering it, give it to someone that would use it. Things that I heard from others is that some of us are skeptical with the slots allocated to non-fans of the series/ people who have never played. They are more likely then any other demographic testing the alpha to be the ones to drop out first, find it not fun, or simply don't play it.
Well, I agree with that idea. |
How is stating that some people that get into alphas don't necessarily play them sounding like I'M the only one that gives a shit? Clearly if I came here, I know other people would care about the game. I bring up a pretty valid argument.
On the previous page Mortar said he worries that people who got in won't actually play the alpha (aka dont give a crap about the game), which offended me a little. You appeared to agree in your reply to my post.
Dalai Lama
Sorry, I get the disappointment from people who didn't get in, and I tried to avoid posting, but saying that everybody who did get in won't do shit is just stupid. |
I wouldn't be so sure, friends of mine got into the WFA alpha and didn't even touch it, essentially wasting slots.
A ton of people I know, myself, and I'm sure a shitton of other people who are dedicated to the game got in. I don't mean to be an ass, but stop acting like you're the only one who gives a shit about the game. |
I hope the people in the Alpha actually PLAY the damn thing. There are those of us who would play every day and can't because of ....well.....
Relic.
ofc they will |
Yea this is getting a little ridiculous, the animation is easy to spot, come on. |
lol the time it takes for the grenade to hit the ground is about as much as it takes for a normal nade to explode. And also the Gren who fires it performes an anim, the grenade itself flies through the air with a trail, and there's a distinctive sound when the Gren squad fires it. I don't see how the visual/audio cues for it are worse than normal nades. |
Anyway, I think the newer model could have some more decal stuff on it, it feels very bland compared to the other vehicles without its schürtzen (the schürtzen have all these decals on them). |
Bring back my sexy Ausführung H
The old one wasn't even an Ausf. H lol
In fact the newer model looks more like an Ausf. H than the old model did |
