Did you educate anyone? Nope.

You don't have anywhere near the level of omniscience to prove that. Have you contacted every member who has read this forum and gotten sworn testimony that they knew that?

MBT means Main Battle Tank. That it is a "trigger event" to something like your response is irrelevant. It still means Main Battle Tank, and always will.

MBT has always meant medium battle tank in Planetside. They have been since the beta when they were first introduced.

The people claiming otherwise confuse opinion and fact.

[Traak]

MBT has never been used as an acronym for medium battle tank in anything from Sony. The tanks were referred to as medium battle tanks, after the BFR's came into existence, but I have not found anything that indicates that the acronym MBT has ever been used by Sony for anything. Has Sony ever used MBT as an acronym for a medium battle tank, before the advent of the PS2 media output?

If someone from Sony starts using MBT as meaning medium battle tank, then that would make it relevant now, but would not change the past. Or the real world.

Even if they did use it that way, it is still incorrect. MBT means main battle tank, and always will. Enough people getting together on a forum and chanting "MBT means medium battle tank" doesn't change it. It still means main battle tank.

Just because Sony uses the term "medium battle tank" doesn't mean MBT means MBT any more than if they used the term "manned boat turret" would mean that MBT meant that.

Sure, Planetside has medium battle tanks. This doesn't mean that MBT means medium battle tank. I don't know why it is so important to appear to be right about something about which you are wrong.

MBT may mean medium battle tank to you, but in the sane world, it means main battle tank. MBT could mean Monosyllabic Barbarian Teutonic to you. It could mean Flying Purple Unicorns, in your world.

However, for the sane world, and the real world, MBT means main battle tank.

You didn't look very hard did you?

considering its in the PS1 manual.....

http://planetside.station.sony.com/h...w.vm?chapter=8

in planetside MBT = Medium battle tank. should equal main battle tank, i agree, but it does not, deal with it.

its on all the wikis as medium abttle tank
http://wiki.planetsidesyndicate.com/...um_Battle_Tank

and on every PS2 interveiw tank are refereed to as medium battle tanks.

I have him on ignore, so I don't see what he says.

I looked at the manual. I followed the link. The acronym MBT does not exist.

The term medium battle tank exists. I already said that. The acronym MBT is not used, however. I don't see how that was not clear in my prior post, because I made it abundantly clear.

I will re-post my entire post, and tell me where I claimed that Sony never used the term "medium battle tank."

The acronym MBT means main battle tank. Sony, to my knowledge, has never used that acronym for anything.

Part of the problem with using a condescending tone with someone when you have given no evidence that you are anywhere near their level is that when you are wrong, then it REALLY looks stupid.

Try sticking to the facts, and quit letting emotions cloud your reason. MBT means main battle tank, and always will.

Is this thread sufficiently derailed, yet? Can you guys quit being wrong and just get back to the discussion at hand? I pointed this acronym thing out because it's incorrect. I didn't realize I would cause such a gigantic shriekfest, bereft of facts, or reason.

[SKYeXile]

i reread your post, what you say is right when i bothered to read it properly, i have a tendency to treat everyone of your posts as trash though(can you blame me?), didn't think somebody would be getting caught somuch on the specific of sony never saying "MBT" when they refer to them constantly as medium battletanks, ofcourse its going to be abbreviated and when used in reference planetside it means Medium battle tanks, in the real world it would typically mean "main battle tank" unless your referring to a world war 2 tank, in which case it would mean medium battle tank.

[Aurmanite]

You're wrong Traak. Sorry chum.

Like you, I'm not going to post anything of substance. I'm just going to state my opinion and expect you to accept it as fact.

Unlike you, I won't be vulgar, rude, or insulting.

[Raymac]

This is funny. The thread was settled by the OP himself in the 3rd post and yet we still find something to argue about. If they don't have beta soon, I'm worried we'll Battle Royale / Hunger Games / Highlander each other until nobody is left.

[Traak]

You will cease as of now, to be offensive, or anything else, on my screen.

[Xyntech]

There can be only one.

Hamma probably wins that by default, seeing as he runs the site. Or maybe Gryphon since he probably has some secret weapons hidden away in the sites code.
