I disagree with this completely. Yes in WWII this seemed like a logical thing to do for the Japanese when they lost the battle of the coral sea, but nowadays no modern army would try and invade a country along the Kokoda track.
1. You could not bring any Armour support what so ever because the track is not wide enough and its to hilly.
2. In the wet season it can get very, very muddy with some areas getting as deep as 20- 30cm deep.
3. It would be one of the hardest things to map if you wanted to do it realistically, which is the only way to do it .
4. Papua New Guinea is no longer considered part of Australia.

Well if it was Australia and china i don't think there would be much fighting in the desert anyway mate. Unless the Chinese have pushed into central Australia?

As a suggestion im sure its been mentioned and im sure its going to be done but it is crucial to have proper Australian voices and no over the top voices. Cause im sure all the other Aussies here realize we don't all speak like the croc hunter... :wink:

Most of the fighting in the China-US fight in the BF2 universe is pretty well into Chinese territory. It seems logical that the US' "close friends", particularly regional ones, would be right there with them.

Just throw us some assymetrical fights in China, they get tanks, trans helos and APCs, we get an attack helicopter or two and our tough as nails infantry.

... why? Apart from the Port and hosting a few Marines during Tandem Thrust each year, what significance does it have?

Are you from there? I grew up in Rockhampton.

I would have thought that a Chinese invasion would be focussed on the NW shelf and Darwin actually .... that is where all the vital assets are. ;)

Dont worry mate this wont happen lol last thing we need is hearing random **** like

Aussie 1 "Two blokes seen mate!"
Aussie 2 "Fair dinkum, where are they!"
Aussie 1 "Down the road you Drongo."
Aussie 2 "Right then do the Hard yacka and get them ********!"
Aussie 3 "Dam it mate there Mad as a cut snake!"
Aussie 2 "Pull ya head in!, run them ********!"
Aussie 1 "right shut ya traps and dont Spit the dummy, lets get them!"
Aussie 2 "you little ripper!!"

Bloke - a man.

Down the road - term indicating distance but no particular distance, it could be a few hundred metres but may be a few hundred miles.

Drongo - slow-witted or stupid person.

Fair dinkum - real, genuine, true.

Hard yacka - hard work.

Spit the dummy - get very upset about something.

Mad as a cut snake - Going crazing

haha except the aussie army is quite disciplined in the way they talk and conduct themselves in a contact... There for theres no real slang being used in combat its more spotting enmys and pointing out distance and directions and shiz like that theres no time for "Ya wanna nother beer mate?"

Deal, if all the American radio commands are replaced by "YEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWW"

We don't use that kind of slang as much as you'd think. Especially if you've ever seen any vids of Aussie troops in combat, theres plenty of cussin' lol. But it's not ocka at all.

As much as we do swear its very strict on how to use a radio, if you were to swear into a radio even if you were being shot at you can be charged.

Yeah I wouldn't imagine it'd be on radio chatter. Underfire and shouting though, yeah I wouldn't doubt it lol

If anything Australian radio chatter tends to be a little under-emphasized. If a company was surrounded, taking heavy effective fire, and running out of ammo if you asked the company commander how things were going all he would say is "We're in a spot of trouble, yes."
