Ohh noes you are worst then comradeaaz.

All I want is subtitles for native voices like in BF2.

 

[Raven1986]

Not everyone has a Cyrillic keyboard and also not everyone can read it.
However, I get the idea as with me Chinese characters are easier to read than figuring out what it says in piyin.

 

[Bluehawk]

Yes, I transliterated it for English readability.

 

[Nestor Makhno]

On the subject of the Russian taunts, who remembers the ones from ROOst before they got tidied up and replaced by slightly more SFW (and less batsh*t insane) ones.

There were an AWFUL lot of 'blyad's in there and the timeless classic, "v Bobruisk, zhivotnoye" ("To Bobruisk, animal" - no, it doesn't make sense in Russian, either)

I think the latter became a meme on the Russian RO forums

 

[Nestor Makhno]

OK, just checked and apparently "в бобруйск животное" is teen slang. Well I never.

I also remember the radioing for artillery being very good, in my humble, non-native-speaking opinion

The lack of mat, general scatology, sexual threats, and homophobia is a tragic loss indeed for the historical reconstruction of the Russian language circa 1942-43.

Absolutely! CoD kiddies will not understand the world no more if not every single Soviet soldier is a sexist, rapist, German-hater, loves Communism and Stalin and constantly drunk.

Just like every German needs to love the fatherland, the F

 

[Nestor Makhno]

I think the acid test is to imagine an episode of 'Band of Brothers' or somesuch where they are under heavy fire and the troops are saying, "Oh, dear this is intense!" and "Wow - I wish that sniper would leave me alone" etc. etc.

 

[Raven1986]

Yes, when coming under fire you stay super calm.
You do not feel hate or anything against the enemy.

BoB was a great series as it should humanity and understand on both sides, not the US superhero and the German dog. Something that Privat Ryan clearly failed to do. However German dub of BoB was bad especially during the German general's speech. In the original he just translates and shows compassion, German version misuses the scene by having him say "Yeah, yeah none of you wanted to fight. Sure." or "honorable, my *** ...". This totally demolishes the scene in a sort of propagandistic way. This is why I enjoy original dubbings so much. Against my countrymen's views I do believe games art and therefore want to enjoy them the way the artists meant them to be or not all.

Well done... now how about the Japanese phrases?

The only jap word I know from RS(and the one I like most) is Shinu which means Die[1][2] and its rarely spoken when a jap kills an enemy.

 

[Scum82]

The only jap word I know from RS(and the one I like most) is Shinu which means Die[1][2] and its rarely spoken when a jap kills an enemy.

They do say 死ね (shine) quite a lot. Not heard them say 死ぬ (shinu) much, that closely translates to "To die", which would not make sense in the context of the game.
That said I don't want to comment too much on the language use. Just today I figured out the grammar for the commander on the radio.

 

[Arbeiter1980]

****

 

[Bluehawk]

I did mishear the artillery voices, they say "artobstrel" most of the time.
There are definitely sapper-spotted voices that say "ubit'", the infinitive, and not "ubey". I forgot sapyor is animate, like an idiot.

 

[Coh]

Russian ITT, you can ask me about Phrases in game.

 

[Zakarro]

As I said previously, the German voices are the localized ones for Germany. Call of Duty had the voices of the German soldiers re-dubbed as the ones used in the rest of the world were too fanatic for the USK. World at War had all the extra SS dialogue removed. Just like in RO2 "F
