Race in the U.S.

Gotta be representing us round eyes! lol

We have white officers, leading black Riflemen, and the Asians are doing ninja stuff with the grapple.

That's a pretty sick team IMO. Stereotypes aside.

They are all green on the uniform.

Now we just need more color to the Brits team. I'm sure the mec and insurgents need sunglasses to look directly at the Brits. Their whiteness is blinding at ranges within 50m.

I'm just happy to see a shooter where not everyone is white, although to be honest I don't even notice the races anymore.

I think the Russians and Chechens are still the "whitest" in-game, their heads stand out like beacons.

Dannyla, these forums are English only. Also, yeah, they all blow up the same

Okita wanted to play a japanese soldier as US so thats why they did that

Anyway.is it such a big deal that we have so many african americas in the US team?
See it as a cchace to be black for a day

The guys are black but every grunt has the same voice. Discrimmination!

I seriously never notice the skin color, I pay more attention to the camo pattern to avoid fragging a friendly.

Iv noticed this has drastically increased racially motivate attacks in PR.
I myself find that I will always target the white and asian soldiers primarily, as they have the largest chance of being the medic or officer.

Diversify the British Armed Forces!

Simple solution guys:

Instead of having kit selections in the spawn screen, you select an ethnicity model.
The current spawn kits then simply will be added to the kit requests with unlimited numbers available.

So, you spawn in as an unarmed, unclad (black, asian, white, mexican, american-indian, you-name-it) dude and then you select your rifleman kit from your favorite rally point, ammo crate, APC.

I think with this system you could even incorporate female soldiers, finally.

DEVs, go go go!

There is no need to include any other races in the British team, just leave it as it is please.

yeah the British Army is fine as it is

I think we should have ethnicity kits instead of weapon kits.

Post by **epoch** » 2009-07-31 14:42

I've never noticed what race I am when I play, not that I care. I can't see myself, and never think to ask a squad member "Dude, what colour am I?".

And anyway, I've only ever encountered a mirror once in PR, and I didn't see a reflection.

So I guess I was rendered as a vampire.

Yes -- as I'm sure that would be a completely accurate portrayal of the UK's Armed Forces.

sometimes when you are bored somewhere you start to notice the colour of the players ( we had 100% black squad once for some reason). i've never seen anyone get upset though.

and come on menace, everybody knows there are no black people in england

though i guess they could add some female player models for realism

also, i vaguely remember being able to select what you looked like in battlefield vietnam. not sure though, could've been some other game since i played vietnam a long time ago.
i believe you could select a different head and body

Ain't no black in the Union Jack, eh?

Though red and blue people would be acceptable, of course.

The real question we need to ask is "Does it actually matter?" and my response would be no. I don't give a damn what colour the chappie in my gunsights is.

Also, by doing this yet more accusations of racism have the opportunity to come up. For example, why do whites and asians get the more complex jobs while blacks are relegated to being riflemen. Is the mod trying to say that blacks cant be medics or officers? That white and asian people naturally have a better aptitude to positions of leadership or medical skills?

Simple fact is all the PC numbskulls are going to find something to complain about and assigning particular ethnicities to particular kits makes the mod a disturbingly easy target.

ha, is that really true?
i didnt know that the seperation was like that.
i actually find it funny rather than offensive.
though i've only seen different races in the US team. the middle east has lots of black people, why are there no black people in the MEC
