Ya know when you install games, it asks you which language you want it in? Well, I believe this is what happens when you select Chinese
Judging my the chinese watermark stamp on the screenshots, these were taken by a Chinese fan base, with the Chinese language selected.

yes that is what i would expect.
just imagine, you buy this game and you install it fine and you try to start it up and suddenly it's all in chinese. aaaaaaaaaaahhh

i mean i know the chinese economy's growing but it's not
that much is it?

no no no no........you guy's misunderstand, partly my fault for not explaining properly......
i'm mainly talking about the veiws in cockspits and other vehicles and the icons in which you use to drive the vehicle. In this case . hight, fuel, speed.
for every nation's vehicle it would make sense to use the proper language, that would naturally be used in that country.....america= english. China = chinese and so on

i'm talking about THEM. You see if their gonna have that just for all the cockpit's for 3 different helicopter's then surely they would put it use in other area's
you catching my drift now.........

I'm sure they're not putting Chinese or Russian writing on anything that's critical. For example in the aircraft HUD, it'll probably be easy to figure out what each ladder scale means without having to actually read the labels. Those are just there for game immersion purposes. Can't imagine DICE expecting players to learn Chinese & Russian just to play this game.

Well hey PR is putting in the British so... why not!? make it WWIII throw in everybody!
Ive seen a few other mods for BF2 where russia and north korea are put in there. if they were added to PR it would open up alot more oportunities for new maps, weapons vehicles etc.
Why not?

haha well if youre going to make a game about largescale warfare it has to include more than just 2 nations and a very optimistic alliance

It would be russian because the MEC (and the PLA actually, just not as much in BF2) bought everyone of thier weapons from the russians. All the MEC vehicles in BF2 are russian, Hence russian writing in the HUD
It wont be hard to understand, as numbers will still be numbers (maybe not with chinese, but hopefully).
I think altitude is on left, engine thrust is on right, and the classic horizon finding and missle locking on hud stuff in the middle.

You would think that if a nation spent several million on a particular vehicle procurement, the Russians would be nice enough to provide some translated text in the HUD. I wouldn't buy it, otherwise. I'd keep the receipt and return 'em.
