I guess when the only people you've ever lost in a war are garunteed to respawn eventually, it's easier to do shit like this...

And here's what the dumbasses at EGM did (BTW, the makers of SOCOM II had nothing to do with this)

First off, that is fucking horrible and disrespectful.
Second. James, I hope that you are fucking kidding, because if you aren't and you seriously think that Russians are nothing and that it is funny what they did to the picture, then here's what you should do. Wait for an extremely close loved one die, and have a picture taken of you at the funeral. Then, see how you feel if someone photoshops your picture so that, instead of a coffinin front of you, there is a giant sub sandwich and the words saying "Eat at Subway". How do you think you would like that?

I think I would like the checks I would be getting from Subway very much. Not to mention the free sandwiches.

We here at EGM sincerely apologize for the photo manipulation we ran last month. Each victim in said picture has been sent a 12-month subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly and a copy of SOCOM II: US Navy Seals, and 1095 hours free of AOL 9.0 Optimized.

In all respects russia could rape the US theyre like 3 times bigger have a better army, the US couldn't use Nukes in the war because they Don't differentiate between civilian and military. I t would cause the rest of the world to side with russia But it'll never happen cuz the US only fights wars with asians or other non whites

Did I read that wrong, or did he just state that the US would lose a war with Russia because Russia is a bigger country?

The amazing thing is that their glorious victory had nothing to do with logistics problems and the weather.

I have heard that after Estonia has freed self from the USSR, and became into a small nice country, the USSR suddenly got fcked up and got disbanded, the END!

The Russian army is shithouse. It's full of seventeen year old farmboys who get homesick and desert, their tanks are all old and all their pilots went on strike about a month ago.
But Russia is definatley a bigger country, easily.

Russia also drink their potatoes instead of eating them. Not a plus in combat.
Bestrest
Mar 3rd, 2004, 10:22 AM
I tought that the tanks were WWII\s leftovers!
And true, Russian boys get easily homesick >(
But the sad truth is, they'll still beat the crap out of Estonia...

Did you fight them when they invaded your homeland, pj?
What about you, bestrest?
This is quite interesting.

I don't think Soviet ever invaded Norway. I think they maybe planned to but had to call it quits when they couldn't get through Finland.
