I'm from the UK and live in the US and a good place it is too, but its true there is alot of Anti US feeling, I think it just people hating what they can't have themselves.
Can someone explain why AU,JP, and some (very few) euro server say that only there own country men are allowed to play on them, and they kick anyone from out side those countrys ?
Surely this is racist? the Contract we we signed says we won't do this so how come so many Ranked servers do?
Don't know if another individual has answered to this, as I cannot be bothered to read all current 8 pages of this sad topic.
Racist? No, my poor deluded friend, it is a lag and communication problem. Everytime an American/Aussie joins a UK/Euro server, it slows it down a little. So kicking those not from the same specific country as the server ensures less lag and better gameplay. Also, there is nothing so annoying as having some annoying french guy on a UK server speaking over the VOIP channel in French when he bloody well knows everyone else speaks English and can't understand a damn word he's saying. I, personally, play this game to, well, play the game. Not listen to a french bloke spout out flowery language (From personal experience, and because 100% of French people I have met in person have been arrogant twats, and I've been to Paris. Not saying all are, just the ones I have met and spoken with.)
On the actual topic of hating America...
I don't hate Americans. I can't. If I did, I would be a rather large hypocrite, would I not? Movies, music...over half of what I like in Entertainment is American. Plus, majority of Americans I've spoken to are nice people. I work in a pub and get a few tourists in, and the Americans are by far the nicest. Again, this is going by
those Americans that I have met. So there is a hell of alot of America of which I cannot comment.
But...
What I
do hate about America are the Politicians (IE. Bush). But then, I also hate my own countries Politicians. I dislike what the people in charge do. Like going to war for dumb-ass out-right lying reasons. If they'd have said "We're just gunna pop over there and grab us some Oil", that would have been fine, as they didn't lie. But they chose to lie because they are %^&*ing morons. Or Bush, who doesn't give a shit about anything: "Power plants giving off too much polution and destroying the atmosphere? Ok, let's increase the amount of
toxic Mercury our Power Plants put into the sky then...."
