Who is MEC ?

[SocketMan]

Searching "MEC" gives too many results




We all know that it's mysterious "Midle Eastern Coalition" but middle east is a big place
populated mostly by Arabs,Persians(Iranians) and Jews.

The poll won't decide which equipment MEC "should" have,but should show
what people (here) think in regards to who is MEC.
There are many,many different ethnic groups in the ME but I only use the major ones
please don't take offense.


So the choices are:

1.Arabs
2.Iranians (Persians)
3.Arabs and Iranians
4.Jews
5.Jews and Iranians
6.Jews and Arabs
7.Jews,Iranians and Arabs
8.none of the above (explain)

Keep in mind that BF2 is "set" in the near future so who knows what will happen.
(referring to some of the unlikely allies in the poll)

edit*
My bad number 3 should be
Arabs and Iranians
mod please change
many thanks

I voted Jews,Iranians and Arabs.

Why? Maybe arabs, persians, jews live in piece in this PR "near future", like they did a LONG time ago.

[Jedimushroom]

Oh this makes perfect sense, jews and arabs fighting together, because they have such a history of peaceful coalition. Come to think of it the iranians hate the arabs too, so I very very much doubt they would fight on the same side, what is more iranians speak farsii, which the troops in BF2 do not.

Get a clue guys, if they speak arabic (which they do) they are neither jewish nor iranian.

Therefore they are a coalition of arabic nations (such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Libya, Eygpt, etc.)

[master of the templars]

Arabs and Iranians IMO

[SocketMan]

One day all men will rise against the western oppressors
I personally see it as something like USSR where all nationalities were united into one
big country.Voluntarily or by force is a different question

yea but if you click "English only" in the audio settings?
Arabs are the majority,thus the Arabic was used by EA
I don't think they could use more then 1 language

[RedAlertSF]

I voted Arabs, but they're Iranians too.

MEC's region covers most of the Middle East, actually all nations in Middle East are in MEC's control. However Israel is not. Muslims want to see Israel to be destroyed, so they will never be allies...not in real world, not in PR.

Arabs and Iranians

[Jedimushroom]

As I said Arabs would also be very unlikely to ally with persians/iranians as there is a lot of historic hatred between the two, many people are unaware of this.

Thinking of them as one and the same is how we got into such a mess in the first place guys, clue up on your middle east knowledge.

I hope so.

Muslims want to see Israel to be destroyed, so they will never be allies...not in real world, not in PR.

So, jews want to see palestinians to be destroyed?

Oh this makes perfect sense, jews and arabs fighting together, because they have such a history of peaceful coalition.

They had. A LONG time ago.

Arabs - all Islam/Muslims(don't know good form how too say that in english :/)
countries as one strong force

[SocketMan]

I could see Arabs and Iranians (they're not the same !) united against Israel.
The US fought G.B. for independence now they're friends,USSR lost over 30 million
people (in WW2) to the Nazi Germany now they're friends - everything is possible imo

[Jedimushroom]

History rarely repeats itself in these matters, as this is the near future, as in ~5 years from now I can see no way that arabs, iranians and jews would ally themselves under one banner.

[Solid Knight]

I think the MEC will be a coalition of USMC, SAS, Iranians, Australians, Cubans, and the Japanese.

That's called UN

And the Chinese and Soviets were the best of friends during Stalins time, then Mao decided that the new Soviet leadership were "revisionists" and they started shooting at eachother. Now, after the fall of the Soviet Union, they are the best of friends again.

I voted for just Arabs. Have always been viewing the MEC as a the military arm of the Arab league. They are apparently active in North Africa (Al Kufrah) so they are more than a "Middle Eastern" coalition. Arab coalition would have been a better name.

[DannyIMK]

remove Jews And Arabs/Jews And Iranians/Jews And Arabs And Iranians

first, iran is arab country
Arabs are enemys of israel, no way that they fight together, of course not agaisnt US/PLA/Russia etc

[Jedimushroom]

I'm afraid you are wrong sir, Iran is a persian country, they do not speak arabic and are of a totally different ethnic backround to arab countries. The Arabs hate the persians, for more information look at the Iran-Iraq war and please don't post things as fact if you do not know that they are.

[ExisSellos]

simpel
arabs
why
they speak arabic ( i have absolutly no clue why you put up jews )
they have hooked nose lol and they look arabic
iranians impossible however persians kinda look now like arabs but it's not infact persian people used to belong to white aryan race but they got mixed up. search that up Iran means land of the Aryan crazy huh? now they are brown and what ever but lets get to the point they aint arabs and they aint mec lol
adios!
nice poll btw

[Ragni<RangersPL>]

They're Arabs! They speak arabic in game so they're Arabs. Simple.

They can't be persians, I thrust that DICE is competent enough and they wouldn't record Arab voices for "Persian army" during BF2 development.

They can't be Jews either... what's wrong with you people?
It is possible to have peace between Jews, Arabs and Persians, but having them fighting together against US or GB is pure sci-fi.
