DarkLite Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Why don't they just get someone british to do the voice acting, instead of getting someone who tries to impersonate one? Link to post Share on other sites
Robot 2000 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 That would be far too sensible for a computer game! If they did something like that they might have to balance the blackhawk! Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I've always loved the British voices done by Americans in video games, atleast we use real english in them, unlike if you go into town today.. The Brit voices in CoD2 are amazing though. Link to post Share on other sites
Ubar Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 *Curls his REAL handle-bar mustache and speaks in a very heavy Welsh accent* (My apologies for any of you offended by what I'm about to say...) Right then! If only I had a pound for everytime those Yanks tried to imitate us, wot wot. Why, I'd be able to live more lavishly than that ol' Gates fellow and maybe buy that lovely country home up in Cornwall (my family is from there). Well, look at the time; tally-ho and such, I've got a luncheon back in London with some twit my daughter's engaged to. So long, and God save the Queen!" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> None of that sounds welsh, and cornwall is the southern-most mainland county in the UK... Link to post Share on other sites

If they did something like that they might have to balance the blackhawk! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Blackhawk has miniguns, miniguns are meant to "ZOMG WTF PWN" everything. Nothing needs doing to it, it's easy enough to take down. Link to post Share on other sites
TMC Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 That would be far too sensible for a computer game! If they did something like that they might have to balance the blackhawk! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um, so what if the blackhawk is better than the other transport helos? The MEC attack helicopter is leaps and bounds better than the USA and Chinese ones... The game IS balanced. Some vehicles are better than others... some guns on either team are better than others. For instance the US guns are usually less powerful than the MEC and PLA ones, but their sniper rifle owns things. Just cause the Marines get the best transport in the game is NOT something to cry about. Also, doesn't the PLA/Iraqi one have like 3 machineguns? One in the back in addition to the doorguns...

US can just hover on a point in the blackhawk, slaughter everyone with miniguns and then bugger off . I do agree that it is overall pretty balanced EDIT: nope, the MEC/PLA choppers only get 2 PKM's.

TMC Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hmm... maybe I was wrong, who knows. It would be a bit ###### to put M60s or M2s onto the UH60s really. The minigun just... GOES with the damned SH60. Hey, at least they decided to drop the hardpoint wings and FFAR launchers... Link to post Share on other sites
JimmehR Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 US can just hover on a point in the blackhawk, slaughter everyone with miniguns and then bugger off . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just get an anti tank guy, and sit in a vechiles turret shooting at the heli, taking the gunners out at the same time, whilst the anti tank guy fires his missiles, he won't be hovering for long.

TMC Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 There needs to be a Japan team, with this as their main battle tank. http://www.animegalleries.net/img/23899 Link to post Share on other sites
Un_FriendlyFire Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Why dont they put the MEC chopper as an MI-24 anyway? with door mounted machine guns and rockets. then it would be realistic use and let you give the blackhawks a couple of rockets . the helo in the game is the eastern equivalent of a chinook more than anything else.

-Drake- Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I was waiting for a "jolly good show" and " Lets get a cup of tea" fortunitly they left them out I'm waiting for the BF2: Streets of Staines expansion. 'Respect' 'Aiiiiiiiiiii' 'Wicked shot blud' etc lol that'll be after the "Belfast streets of rage" expantion btw the blackhawk does seem extremely overpowered in certain levels especialy if there are no other other aircraft on that map...

Xeres Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 oh dear god......... Really chaps, those voices are bloody terrible But then again it is battlefield 2 and so its the 13 year old child version of war. To those of you who bought the said game, shame on you. Now, i'm off to get a cup of tea and a digestive biscuit to contemplate why we ever gave those dam americans a country..........

Ghost in the shell. I'm not sure anyone needs a tank that gets bored & goes off and picks flowers though. Mind you they are slightly reminiscent of the tank in the original Hitch Hikers Guide. Marvin speaks to tank: So your a top of the range state-of-the-art tank are you? Yeah, yeah, Yeah! I bet you can't hit that pillar. *Boom* (pillar evaporates) Nah, that could have just been a lucky shot. Bet you can't hit that one. *Boom* (pillar explodes, bridge collapses taking tank with it) Stupid Tank. Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisS Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 To be fair to any overseas members reading this, we do all speak like that, but we just don't like being made fun of. Wot wot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All I have to say to that is LOL i dont really think Britts sound like that, i should know im mostly American but i do have a bit of a Britt accent though.(my dad is mostly Brittish) PEACE:ChrisS Link to post Share on other sites
TMC Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 After playing the game, the voices AREN'T so horribly overdone. There is a set of voices like that, but the majority sound more like CoD's voices. Very good stuff. "starlight, this location!!" Link to post Share on other sites
Bob_Marley Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 But it really should have, once the SAS have won a map "jolly good show chaps, now, back to blighty for tea and medals". And does anyone else think that they stole the imperial officer's voice from star wars: battle frount 2? Link to post Share on other sites
Venmoch Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Just bear in mind there are 3 different voices for each side in BF2. The commander, Squad-Leader and basic squaddie. The upper class one is the officer naturally. That said though a part of me died when someone said "Why are all the voices British?" Link to post Share on other sites
TMC Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Yup. Just listen to the Commander voice for the USMC... Sounds like your typical texan General. Much like the guy in Blackhawk down. Infact, it probably IS him! Link to post Share on other sites

So, if they wanted they could have had them talking like Fijians or New Zelanders. Link to post Share on other sites
