American Intervention?

[Alex]

I think we've all seen enough of the whole "Gung-ho cigar chomping American and his M16" in video games. (and variations thereof)



It was a take on 28 days later, so it deals with the UK only. I'm aware that in 28 weeks later, the americans got in on the fragging, but hey ---> This is fantasy and we can forget north america exists for a minute

[uwasawaya]

I think it's much more interesting to put the British in the spot light as well.

Besides, as everyone has been saying... I like the idea that the world was hit all over. By the looks of most of the levels, the outbreak has been going on for awhile now. Soldiers get tired, and if you've read World War Z you'd see how creatures like this would wear down military forces... and in that book all they did was shuffle, let alone turn invisible or explode.

meh, the whole America comes in and saves the day thing is really tiring in films/books, its all so cliche, and whats to say that the US would help at all anyway? :P

Another take on the continuous zombies thing could be that since they are experiments, and made in labs, the scientists could of been cloning them, and couldn't turn off the cloning cycle before the zombies killed them all, so the zombies are now continuously being cloned from labs all over the world.

You're right, the Irish Republic Army needs to save Britian's arse, more realistic

Also, If we assume bush is still in control, the specimen are not terrorists so he would not care :P

Now escaped lab freaks in turbans.......might have something to fear :P

[Grim]

Mmm, if a never-ending cycle of cloning is going on, who's feeding the raw materials it requires to clone the bloody suckys?

I never wanted America to come in and save the day, I wanted America to come in and try to contain the threat, maybe the Americans transport some of the specimens back to north America in large numbers and soon the threat spreads somehow.

[Antigod]

Can we leave America out of this one, its about time the UK was given the spotlight, let the DRF be English, lets just forget about America in this one.

[Dr. Macon Dead]

Perhaps the raw material is dead bodies?

Stay with me on this one. The clots often say "Join us..." when they're wandering around. However, they can't spread disease, as we've already established, due to the fact that they aren't zombies. Perhaps they kill people, drag their corpses back to the labs, and then the dead bodies are used to create more?

I guess it all depends on how intelligent the various experiments are. Or maybe the employee who let them loose wasn't trying to save the world, but destroy it? He could be commanding the experiments from afar, programming them to bring back the dead?

I never wanted America to steal the spotlight, but in a logical thought if this "Problem" was spreading I'm sure the other countries right next to the UK would start panicking, assuming that the initial outbreak is in London. France, Germany, Belgium and other members of the EU would probably try to help. Most of Europe is also part of NATO which would further support the United States supporting role or at least NATO would send some "Peacekeeping" soldiers there to try to contain the threat. I know personally if I was in the military and the UK or Europe was experiencing problems Id be damn ready to help. So let the DRF be British, I don't object to that as a matter of fact I support this mod being based in Europe and having British soldiers do most of the fighting, but wheres the rest of the world when this happened? Assuming they weren't overrun by there own labs, but in that sense I'm guessing that Horizone would only want to station there labs in bigger countries like the United States, France, Germany the UK and possibly Russia. So yea ive seen enough of "Gung-ho cigar comping American" marines too but I just wanted to bring up and discuss where the US and the rest of the world was while this occurred.

Woah woah....I care it ran across my mind for no reason I just wanted to discuss it.

That quote makes you seem like a dick.
All it is is harmless speculation about the game - and several people care because they actually have something called an imagination and can get involved in the story of games rather than just 'play' them.

Hitler could roam around for several years before American intervention.
