Re: Trivia: Why does the USMC in BF2 use the M24 and not the M40?

better trivia:
why do people play it if all they do is complain about it

Jemme wasn't complaining, he was striking up debate.

I am, it doesnt carry near as many as it should.

It carries the exact number of folks it needs to for the specified mission--small group transport for insertion, extraction, or observation. If you want to land an entire embarked MEU 2000 Marines strong, then you put them (preferably) in CH46's or go amphib.

Can't carry enough people. Sheesh. Right tool. Right job.

Edit: cr4p. just broke the cardinal rule about not getting sucked into a RL v. BF2 discussion. cr4p x 2.

That maybe your view but not mine or many others, you need to check the seating on a real one.

Also for the game its a improper number for ANY mission as you cant have a full squad and a pilot in the chopper, the pilot has to be a squad member making it hard to return a chopper to the carrier or LZ to pickup another squad and carry them into combat. I don't know what kind of missions you're talking about except for maybe the most common. 1 guy jumps in and crashes it at a flag or the uav. Anyways whatever.

Re: Trivia: Why does the USMC in BF2 use the M24 and not the M40?

what is the unit measurement for altitude while in an aircraft, you lose control at what 800 or so right?
well what is it?
800 what?
feet? meters? miles? LOL
lose control at 800 feet........sounds kinda bizarre eh? but then again so does 800 miles

so to the OP, why does EA/DICE do this as well??
answer to your question and mine.........


BECAUSE THEY CAN!!

Bf2 takes place in the 1980, and they used the M24 rifle back then.
I'm pretty sure.

Re: Trivia: Why does the USMC in BF2 use the M24 and not the M40?

Nah both models are based on the Remington 700 series, so thats not true for sure m8. The M24 and M40 are military designations based on their action.

My original post was meant to do nothing more as to point out this weird oversight. Seeing as we allways play USMC ingame, but not using the correct weapon with the Sniper Kit.
So I was just wondering if more stuff out there was portrait wrong

The fact that the Chinese use AK-47's instead of their own variant the Type-81 always bugged me.

Re: Trivia: Why does the USMC in BF2 use the M24 and not the M40?

Nuh uh, you're both wrong. BF2 takes place during the war of 1812.

I'ma kill me some Canadians.

Re: Trivia: Why does the USMC in BF2 use the M24 and not the M40?

i think the MEC should use RPG's

and why cant we have a f18 on the carrier instead of F35 cos f18's are designed to take off and land on a carrier.
