I thought it would be cool to have a little fun posting game where we see what real-world entities map to our beloved Planetside Empires
I'm going to start with...
Microsoft = TR
Google = NC
Apple = VS
Jameson = TR (smooth, triple-distilled whiskey from the motherland)
Jack Daniel's = NC (rebellious Americans!)
Crown = VS (canada, lol)
Figured the whiskey deserved an explanation...the tech companies are fairly obvious.
Post away!

Marine Corps=NC (Blunt. Gets job done with shit for gear/weapons.)
Army=TR (I don't know why)
Air Force=VS (Technological. A bit sissy.)
U.S. by the way.
Royal Marines kick ass too. Crazy fuckers.

Mmm, I dunno.
The USAF is as good as the BAF, and they're both comprised of extremely skilled pilots.

Except our pilots (RAF) hit the right targets. ;)

If RAF = accuracy then doesn't that make them VS?

Jet Li - VS
Vin Diesel - NC
Arnold Schwarzenegger - TR
NC - Russia
TR - China
VS - US
But I really want to remake it into NC - US, VS - Taliban, because of CnC Generals.

Actually that could be a good marketing gig for PS2 - go to Ben & Jerry's and get 3 new ice cream flavors, one for each empire.
Could be good publicity for PS2, would have to be around or after launch though.

Sounds about right, NC being the only talented artist :D I mean, Kanye just talks to the mic, Justin Bieber can't sing even that much that Taylor Swift can :D

VS = AMD (always innovating new technology to stay competitive)
TR = Intel (brute force refinement of current technology using huge numbers of engineers to solve problems)
NC = NVIDIA (corrupt corporate culture with effective propaganda hiding it, duct tapes older technology together into huge dies)
Malorn

TR=Zerg
NC=Terran (wat?)
VS=Protoss
This doesn't fit to me because the protoss are the hard-hitting, high armor faction.
If we go by faction theme...
TR = Terrans (flexibile, conventional army)
NC = Protoss (hard hitting, durable)
VS = Zerg (alien, bizzare, unconventional)

I was really hoping to date Taylor Swift...but if she's NC... Then we're gonna have to find a way to arrange her to be TR.

Love transcends empire boundaries, don't let that discern you! Plus, I feel like it'd totally be up Taylor Swift's "Romeo & Juliet" stylistic alley.

Her next big hit single is going to be about two lovers split between the Terran Republic and the New Conglomerate :rofl:

I think you mistakenly base it on the storyline. If you base it on their doctrines you get:
TR = China (red tanks with double-barrels and miniguns, horde bonus)
NC = USA (the weaponry hitting the hardest, holding the longest)
VS = GLA (hit and run tactics, high mobility)

even to a guy like me that's low ;)

Well actually I was going with Kanye restricts free speech of Taylor (TR oppresses NC), and nobody likes Beiber (nobody likes VS).

I'll take Richard Simons over the other two. At least he has my philosophy in mind.
