Why is NC so Popular?

[GreatMazinkaise]

The Terran Republic == Fascists, not Soviet Union

New Conglomerate == Used to be Bolshevik Freedom Fighters; now they're corporate sponsored anti-fascist rebels

Vanu Sovereignty == Used to be techno hippies; now they're transhumanists as has been said

Its unknown why NC is so popular. Seems that is similar to WoW. Its just a place where lemmings and the weak minded congregate.

Honestly I always like the VS just for the technological aspect. Also the Magrider being able to go over water was always awesome. Loved flanking those silly TR and NC defensive lines all pointed across the bridge, they always seemed so surprised every time it happened. It was cute watching them panic as they died.

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

because all the stupid kids that just choose factions based on the coolness factor of the looks and colors would choose tr and all the noobs that cannot cope with arc-aiming would choose easymode lasergun and spam discoball vs.

so nc was left with the good players

history repeats itself

Did you even play PS1?

NC is the quintessential "America fuck yeah!" faction, with their blueness and eagles and stars and country music and freedom everywhere.

edit: ugh, I need to quit accidentally necrobumping threads

Everytime you die from a VS soldier, T-Ray's laughter will be heard.

The funny thing is that in all of our old AGN faction commercials the TR were the hillbilly's.

Someone remind me to play those on the next show.

I didn't know NC was all that popular. Most people see "corporate" and think "Screw these guys! I'm going to be purple!"

[ConsPark]

The very first thing that drew me to NC was the color scheme. There's something about that blue / yellow combination that I just love. Then it was their general aesthetics - their vehicles and weapons look rough, simple, utilitarian. Effective, no-frills weaponry. Last came the lore - the idea of being a rebel appeals to many Americans, doesn't it?

That said, I was tempted to go TR for PS2. They remind me a lot of NOD from the C&C series, and I do like NOD's style and aesthetics.

[IgloGlass]

I've chosen TR because I don't want Halo weapons and if I had to pick on modern military armor versus farmer armor I'd pick the high-tech alternative.

So no one here put the correlation that NC = good guys due to uniform colors (Blue/Gold) which is worn by a lot of police officers?
