Battlefield 2142 screenshots

nice some 1 els that likes bf 2142! it a great game just annoying when u about to knife the guy and it gose "Problem with your connection"

can I point out that this is a forum for an entirely different game? of an entirely different genre? its fine to talk about games... but to ask for screenshots of them? I think you would have more success over at the BF2142 forums.

pff shem, urafoob

I'm just pointing out that it doesnt serve much purpose to beg for francs from the chinese.

or from the french for that matter. I hate it when real life catches up to sayings.

I've a great screenshot though.

i hate french people....

. damn google. they are getting very powerful. microsoft should keep an eye on them for fear of being over powered!  

the fact that the french use euros now only adds another layer to the metaphor!

Well since the original topic of this forum seems to have wound down pretty quickly, lets start a new topic on something mentioned; the French.

Here's the ScorugeofGod's France pro/con list:

Pro:
-French Wine
-Eifel tower (night)
-Louvre
-Helped US win independence (probably a con for you non-americans out there)
-3000 miles away from America
-French kissing (a con for those of you with teenage daughters)

Con:
-Fench women not shaving arm pits
-Napoleon
-Robspierre
-Charles Du Galle
-Jaques Chirac
-Perfection of surrender (good for any Germans reading this)
-French people
-Evian (naive spelled backwards)
-Quebec
-Cajan food (it is so good but too hot so I can't eat it. Damn you French descendants!  )
-Eifel tower (day, that thing is ugly when you can actually see it)

Feel free to add any more to either list. And don't bother adding french toast or french fries, those don't really come from France.

I think french people should be listed more than once...

Con: They are obnoxious and have really odd advertisments. check out http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/French_AIDS_posters.jpg

I am so glad you came out of hiding

Well the Eifel is phalic immagery....

i love BF2142 i'm a commissar silver

im commissar gold lol i love it its just annoying when it laggs

Thanks.
I don't know what yours looks like, but it's not eifel-tower shaped...

Also, the french invented Brioche, which is arguably the best bread ever.

I like the french, I just think they sometimes give themselves credit for things that don't make sense. Of all the countries in europe France is easily my favorite after England. They're a people that believe in themselves. Many people think of that as arrogance, but as an American (also considered arrogant) I have a different perspective on it. If you can get beyond the fact that they think they're great you'll see that thinking your great helps you to do great things. It makes you set your goals high... to be ambitious.


What I think france REALLY needs to get over is the notion that they have a good grasp on foreign policy. 400 years of foreign policy mistakes, disasters, and defeats makes it pretty clear that when it comes to international politics they don't know what they're talking about. I don't even know where to begin with all the stupid crap. France basically was in a position for a long time to DOMINATE europe completely and spread out in to a global empire like England eventually did. But no... They got donkey stomped by a country with a smaller population, less money, less resources, fewer friends, a far inferior military, and fewer educated people.


Why? Horrible diplomacy. They made all the wrong alliances and got out maneuvered by just about everyone repeatedly. Even Napoleon wasn't really that great because while a great military leader and domestic politician he basically made france everyone's enemy forcing his country into a position that he could not win no matter how damn good he was on the battlefield.


I seriously feel sorry for the French because they are a great people. They tried to recapture empire by expanding their operations into the middle east. Which was generally a disaster again. France really didn't profit much by expanding into the middle east and in the long term that decision might destroy France (a different discussion, suffice to say it involves yet more foreign policy miscalculations).

The United States has a vastly superior track record when it comes to foreign policy. Even when we lose wars we still tend to win because the enemy suffers a thousand times worse then we ever do. And seriously, the best thing that can happen to most countries is losing a war to America. Who would you rather be... North Korea or South Korea? North Korea repelled US forces... so they "sorta" won... Do you think they're happier for it? No... their people are literally starving for because of that. Or Cuba... Those twits are still driving around in beat up cars from the 50's cobbled together with bailing wire and axle grease.


Anyway... France is a great country with a great people. Their food is great, their fashion is great, their art is great, their country is beautiful... etc... I love the french. But when it comes to foreign policy they're almost always complete knuckleheads. They haven't even been able to get their EU constitution passed because they simply don't know what they're doing. They push when they should compromise and compromise when they should push... they make friends with weak players that have more enemies then friends... and make enemies with people that have more friends then enemies. I've never understood it. Seriously if you look at all the decisions back to back you'd think they were doing it on purpose.


Anyway, Viva la France... and for their sake they'd better have at least one or two friends worth a damn.

Think of France as that one friend that always seems to pick a fight with some huge guy a bar... and then either gets his teeth kicked in or you have to bail him out... either by joining the fight or quickly buying the other guy a drink or something just to settle it all down.


Love and peace, Karmashock.

leave it to Europe to label their afflicted as dirt and trash...

no, you're right. mine is quite longer.

the only reason that it probably doesnt look more like a penis is that
1) it would scare away tourists, not bring them
2) it probably wouldnt be structuraly sound.

I mean, come on. long with the wide snub at the top?

who doesnt? they carry very romantic values that have been lost to other countries, its a nice quaint little country where travel is constant, trade is almost entirely based on the interpersonal level, and people are very friendly.

but still, in being a part of europe, you do get that high and mighty arrogance that America has not part of. no matter what people do to label me, I dont liken people infected with ANY disease to cockroaches, spiders and scorpions.
*sigh* it just goes to show you when something is farther than arm's reach...

And we as americans have our only qualities that annoy other people. It's best to see past such things. To see the strength within the weakness. To see the virtue within the vice.

Both Americans and the French are proud peoples with much to be proud of... As I said, I think the french are a bit confused as to what they can be proud of... but they have plenty of things to justify great pride. As to the old europe stuff they throw at us occasionally, that's part of their blind spot. They honestly think they're diplomatic geniuses despite basically failing in every single diplomatic venture of any consequence for hundreds of years... consecutively. Even their successes turn out to be failures or instances where they were tricked as time goes on... They've been playing in blood for that stupidity for hundreds of years and seem to be incapable of learning. I don't know what causes it... Some people think it's pride but I don't see how that's possible. I feel sorry for them because it's a quality that will kill them eventually if they don't snap out of it. Or unless someone saves them... if it's even possible. It's not worth it to get upset with them over their nature.

didnt read any of ur posts karma, wanna sum em up in one sentence?

oh, so now you're mister fortune cookie...

I quite agree, but still... this reminds me of leperosy. I thought we were a few hundred years past that.

you people get off topic very easily...

yes, quite easily.

i agree...

If I thought I could say it in fewer words I wouldn't have bothered to write as much as I did. Furthermore, I'm not going to appologize for writing more then you want to read and am not sympathetic to people that expect everyone to tailor their posts to a specific individual's interests. I can provide a paypal account and if you deposit 500 USD in the account I'll change my posts on this forum to whatever you like for a period of 2 weeks. But if that is not acceptable to you, then I don't feel motivated to change anything.

If this sounds hostile, that isn't my intention. I've just been subjected to more then a few people saying I write too much... and am fed up with it. Nothing personal... I've just heard that line too many times.

lol, i tend to read all ur posts, just happen to be busier lately
