Why is NC so Popular?

Otleaz · 2012-06-06, 08:38 PM

I was arguing with a friend about what faction we should play, he was saying VS, I was saying TR. Eventually we got to a point where I said I thought VS would be the most popular so it wouldn't be fun, and he goes and says NC will obviously be the most popular, with the VS being the least popular.

I called bullshit, but all evidence says it is true. Why is it that the faction with the ugliest colors, slowest vehicles, and worst overall goal are the most popular?

Because this is your opinion

Blue > Red/Purple

NC back story makes them look like America, while TR looks like Nazi and VS are Kool-aid drinking alien lovers.

Hard hitting weapons = Lasers > Spray and pray

So, NC has best color and back story to most, and depending on how much you like lasers best or second best weapons.

Well if you looked at the numbers used on the facebook Recruiting app thing, NC is ahead. Granted NC is the default faction of choice so potentially not many people noticed.

The NC in PS2 kind of remind me of the rebels from star wars, so thats why I like them.

what? America? really? I chose NC beacuse they look freedom, not beacuse they look capitalism. Freedom dont mean liberalism.

The NC are clearly the guerrilla thats fighting a facist regime, something like red faction. They ranks are full of organized workers that are exhausted of having their rights taken.

I dunno. Maybe I'm jumping at nothing. Seen too many police do some not very good-guy things to really understand the comparison.

Now, if you'll kindly stop trolling this thread, we can get back into some semblance of logical thought.

All of above is irrelephant. More importantly, elephants are the biggest land mammals still alive. They have been divided in two families: The Elephas and the Loxodonta. Actually, there are only three species of elephants still present: The African bush Elephant, The African Asian Elephant and the Asian Elephant (Indian Elephant). The mammoths were part of this family, but had completely disappeared by 2000 B-C.

Talk about irrelevancy!
