A question reguarding London's Finest DLC

[Gartley]

I'm somewhat curious in the thinking behind this pack, in particular it's naming.

With the characters Chopper Harris and Kevo the Chav it's obvious the pack is being tongue in cheek by calling itself London's Finest. But what throws me is the inclusion of a member of the Queen's Guard whom I was under the impression was a collection of highly trained infantry (the Gurkhas and Royal Marines among others) So could anyone shed some light on this for me? I'm not offended by it before anyone shouts buthurt at me just curious. Also if someone could link me to anything like concept art etc for KF I'd be grateful, my googlefu is not strong enough it seems.

On a side note though; it's rather depressing if chavs and football hooligans have become the stereotype for England, give me bowler hats and a broadsheet any day.

PS, I already know about Devvo.

Don't get me wrong, I like all the DLC character packs, but I almost prefer the default guy with the gas mask.

If they gave us a guy with a bowler hat, I would buy him so fast. :troll:

Edit: To be honest I love Indiana Jones (Harchier Spebbington?) and Captain Sir Richard Wiggins, but a bowler hat guy would be cool.

There are also a few bits from Alex Quick for the mod version of KF. Just browse through all of the images at the ModDB entry here:

@Swish. DICK VAN DYKE!

@Slappy. Thanks man, I never knew just how creepy the crawlers were. But then it's not often I get to have a good look at them, to busy trying to kill them before they get close.

The naming was, indeed, tongue in cheek. And the "Queen's Guard" - no such thing. There is the "Brigade of Guards", which consists of the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards (in order or precedence, if my memory serves me right). The Grenadier Guards are the senior infantry unit in the British Army, the Coldstream Guards are the oldest.

The Gurkhas and Royal Marines may have served guard duty at royal palaces - but that doesn't make them "Royal" or "Guards". Of course, the Royal Marines aren't part of the Army anyway - they are Navy.

Just being pedantic, as usual

Is it just me, or does Captain Wilkins look a lot like Alan Wilson? D=

Yeah, even wikipedia says so.

Basically, you're putting more thought into the reasoning behind the name than was spent by the devs in naming it.

ROFL... qft!

It was fun to concept/make - so the naming was fun, too.
