Guadal Canal Mission/Map?

[Chadwiick]

I think it would be interesting if there is a Guadal Canal Mission/Map because the Marines had outdated equipment, Browning M1917 is it? Not 100% sure, the Springfield rifle (not sniper) just for starts.

Yes this is true. Many weapons that weren't really used for the rest of the war was pretty common in Guadal canal, and would be absolutley sweet to see in this game. For example the M55 Reising, and the Smith & Wesson M1917.

I would love to see those in the game.

Ye this is THINK would eb the first ww2 fps shooter to have the brownin 1917 machine gun in, and yes its browning 1917 ( the big one with the cylinder thing at the end). Itd be cool to have a map from the movie the pacific, episode 2 - its the one where its all night time and theyre waiting, and john basalone sprays his machine gun.

Chewing up a load of japs with a .30 cal, would be sweat.

On another note, it would be pretty cool map for some co-op mode against waves of banzai japs

You do know the term 'jap' can be very offensive to people like the 'N' is to others....

Maybe we should take a leaf out of Craig Charles' book and start calling them Happy Clappy Jappy Chappies.

Or not...

 

[Nestor Makhno]

Possibly not

Actually the "N" word isn't offensive. I had to take a few sensitivity courses when I was in the army. I remember some my battle buddies, who were black, said it's not offensive if it's said "correctly." It was a course that was funny as hell, especially when my buddies told us how it sounds when a white person says it. Good times.

Anyway, I believe the US Army at this time was already being equipped and were using M1s, correct? If that is true, then not much has changed with the army getting the expensive toys while the Marines get hand-me-downs.

Yeah, that was a sucker punch.

I honestly would love to see Guadal Canal and Love dove on Okinawa in this mod/game. Hopefully the mod isn't to biased for the Marines, and we can see army units also.

Sensitivity issues aside you can count on seeing both bootnecks and pongoes (to borrow from British service parlance).

I said Love Dove. LOL I meant to say Love Day.

Bit off-topic there, but
Brit, yank, froggy,jerry, scots, japs, and many more...

Just an abreviation for their nationality, no need to look into it as an offensive term of somekind

anyway, continue discussion! :]

@Dietrich Graf

If you've been on an army course that says the 'N' word isn't offensive to black people (unless you say it like Bernard Manning or whatever it is you're suggesting by 'how it sounds') and you're now quoting that here as being true then that's probably indicative of a great many problems endemic within the armed forces today.

I don't know whether you're in the Heer or the US/British Army stationed in Germany (judging from your location) but you're clearly a very ignorant person regardless.

That or a very wry comedian.

Meanwhile, back on the topic....

Where did I say the sensitivity course I took said the "N" word was not offensive?

The course I'm speaking of was designed primarily for those that didn't come from culturally diverse places in the US. During the course we learned things that can be offensive to others. Since the "N" was brought up, my good friend, who is Mexican, and blunt, asked why black people can say say the "N" word to each other but the rest of us can't. Then they explained it's not that we can't, but it's how we say it that comes off as offensive.

Even though course was stupid, there was some, including what I mentioned, nuggets of information that I found interesting. Then again, I have always loved reading up on human behavior and non verbal/verbal communication.

However, I'll let those comments slide, Stephen. It just shows that Europeans think they know everything about American culture from watching the Simpsons. I highly doubt the place you are from is as culturally diverse as Houston, Texas.

2nd warning to stay on topic. There is no 3rd warning.

 

[mamoo]

Did I ever mention the time I lost my shoe in a river?

Lol jk, where were we? Yes, Guadal Canal, cool, good place for an RO battle.

Edsons Ridge

Edsons Ridge

How does the battle for Edsons Ridge sound?
Have rows of foxholes 20 ft. apart, Marines using their Springfield Rifles, a couple of Heavy Machine Guns defending the position from wave, after wave, after wave of Japanese Charges?

You'd have to worry about losing ammo, their bayonets getting too close to you, one side of the Ridge mainly getting attacked (after all they did focus mainly on one section of the Ridge).

You have some guys saying fall back while they cover your retreat, then you turn around, call them to come back and covering their retreat like how it actually happened. Of course once a certain amount of Marines on the front row died for the tactical retreats to happen... erhm, sorry tactical re-locating.

I know this topic is old, but how does that sound?

Id love this, I can see it being very fun.

 

[Turnbacca]

Yes definetly, id say 1, or 2 .30 cals maximum which obviously need to be protected ad the main weapon used against the waves of japanese infantry, springfields are nice too, acts as a nice balancing tool and ammo conservation being key to victory. Sounds pretty nice!
