Personally I wouldnt care WHAT factions are fighting.... the 'story' is not relevant to me, its the gameplay I care about.
The 'story' was just borrowed from BF2 and carries little importance to the actual GAMEPLAY.
If it was Russians fighting Chechens, IDF fighting Hamas, etc etc it wouldnt mean much to me besides new weapons, as long as the gameplay remained the same calibre.

Define irony. A bunch of guys playing PR year after year. A game teaching initiative as the prime mover.
However, in regard to EA, these guys never took the initiative.

I would have to say its culture because I think its fair enough to say that the vast majority of the players are those who have never been exposed to the horrors of a real war in their own homeland.
Doubt very much there are any Iraqis or Afghans playing from their living room in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Sadly when we have had middle eastern players make themselves known on the forums, they've frequently been showered with some rather unfavourable comments. If we do have players from the ME playing, (and I'm sure we do), then I can't blame them for not poking their heads up above the parapet much.
Anyways that's a side issue. I'd say primarily the demographic makeup of the group of PR players is that they're interested in more tatical gameplay than many other gamers are.

QFT fuzz, I mean.. it seems that people with that mindset are only limiting the possibilities and scenarios PR could go into.[R-DEV]fuzzhead wrote:Personally I wouldnt care WHAT factions are fighting.... the 'story' is not relevant to me, its the gameplay I care about.

I think its interesting that people take 'culture' so literally. A culture doesn't define an ethnicity or a nation exclusively. If you google the definition it doesn't mention nations or ethnicities at all in fact. We just have this implied understanding of it.
This definition also I think says how we feel about our tastes too!
I think that we as a group (me being so new to it) are easily fitted into the category of a culture.n.
1.
1. The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.
2. These patterns, traits, and products considered as the expression of a particular period, class, community, or population: Edwardian culture; Japanese culture; the culture of poverty.
3. These patterns, traits, and products considered with respect to a particular category, such as a field, subject, or mode of expression: religious culture in the Middle Ages; musical culture; oral culture.
4. The predominating attitudes and behavior that characterize the functioning of a group or organization.
2. Intellectual and artistic activity and the works produced by it.
This definition also I think says how we feel about our tastes too!
A high degree of taste and refinement formed by aesthetic and intellectual training.
