This will not go well.

Europe is not designed for oversized cars. As soon as you are off the “A” roads, it is goat tracks in every direction. And, you can forget about parking. Regular cars have enormous trouble already. Every new car gets panel damage within a couple of weeks. Put those monster US vehicles in the villages it will be carnage.

The US is still blowing up Japan? Talk about nursing a grudge.

I disagree. Voting with your wallet is the only metric they understand. They just ascribe different analysis as to why it failed to their boardrooms. In the end, you put 70 million into the development and marketing of a game that doesn’t sell, that is going to get attention. Complaining on Reddit won’t.

It’s like the corporate world has made gaming into a twisted version of THEIR game. How do we grind money out of these idiots?

Well, I think that they will probably work it out in the end by going bust. Every CEO - in the end - blames the consumer, not the product nor the service.

Speak it brother. I’m currently playing Far Cry 3 and other past greats. I have money in my pocket, happy to buy something worthwhile, but nothing new AND good is available. Nothing.

Can’t stand playing other people. What’s wrong with solo games?

By all means, go and enjoy your snuff films.

Yes, they will probably have some defences. They have some defences for IEDs now, but people still get blown up.

I couldn’t be clearer in what I said. If you don’t understand my point of view I suggest that you reread my statements.

On the other hand, if you don’t agree with me, then that’s fine as well.

Enjoy…

I know these vids exist. Not sure what I’m expected to say?

I’m pissing in the wind, but I think that anybody promoting such films is a fucking loser. I don’t really care what uniform the victim is wearing.

If rules don’t matter, then why have any rules? Just everyone kill everyone, military, civilian, women and children?

Or, stop giving sermons about how bad the other guy is when each side chases down a terrified conscript with a explosive toy.

Or, at the very least, perhaps not film the results like some kind of sick snuff film? I question the morality and humanity of anybody who enjoy that shit.

Sounds like a justification for murder.

“We’re bad, they’re worse”.

I’m not arguing about the Ukrainians defending themselves, but the methods on both sides are pretty shitty.

If you are intent on drone murder, own it without pleading. Doesn’t matter which side you’re on.

Well said… Very well said.

I’m an Australian.

In the first world war the Australian’s had an iron clad rule, one well known to the Germans. If Australians managed to reach the enemy’s trenches in an assault, they refused to accept a machine gunner’s surrender.

You don’t get to shoot down your opponents from relative safety and then expect mercy at the very end. Machine Gunners were an elite force of the German Army. They wore special patches denoting their status. That is, the gunner’s not facing the Australian lines. Those machine gunners tended not to wear their status on their uniform. They tended not to survive capture if they did.

There was an element of hypocrisy in all this too. The Australians also had machine gun battalions. But the difference was that we accepted the rules. Perhaps if drone operators started getting shot out of hand on capture it wouldn’t be so bad? Seems reasonable to me.

That’s a legitimate argument.

I still don’t buy it for the reasons already mentioned.

I hope so, Brother.

Thanks man. Many will consider me naive, and perhaps I am?

I just get no joy in seeing these vids even if the Russians put themselves in harm’s way. Some didn’t, but we’re forced at the point of a gun. Shitty way to go in either case.

Peace out.

Don’t imagine that this won’t happen to the US regardless how they choose to fight. It doesn’t matter. You can just take out key personal, like officers, or specialis? It doesn’t have to be human wave attacks. Anyway, I haven’t seen too many human wave attacks in the videos. Just individual poor conscripts forced into the service getting their balls blown of by some gamer safe behind the lines.

Don’t get me wrong - fuck Russia. But this is wrong.

Thank you for your thoughtful question.

My response was probably very emotional in that I took the infantry role very personally. There is a million ways for a grunt to get taken out in battle. However, mostly each combatant takes a measure of risk - including pilots and artillerymen. In the case of drone operators you could be blown up by some cunt sitting in his pajamas taking no personal risk in the fight.

Don’t bother arguing that this also can happen in a score of different scenarios - I get it. This is an emotional reaction, but feel the same as for IEDs. Australia banned the use of landmines under the Ottawa Treaty for this reason in 1999.

I don’t expect much support for this view, and that’s cool. It just seems cowardly.
