Why is NC so Popular? - Page 9

Zekeen · 2012-06-14, 04:46 PM

I find it funny when some people think one faction is chosen more than the rest. Each has their own style of.. everything! Colors, shapes, weapons, ammunition...

I chose NC because of a hoard of reasons.

First, they looked cool. Jagged armor shapes and I liked the color scheme of gold and blue. I then began to wonder "Is this the faction for me?". I looked on the walls, saw the propaganda. I liked their theme, freedom over oppression. Works for me. Then there is the heavy hitting, high armor vehicles. I liked that. The more accurate heavy hitting assault rifles. I liked that as well. Guided rockets... ... well, let's just say I now have a problem watching an NC soldier die. Just feels wrong to me now, even if it's to watch a beta video. So I became imprinted in the end.

I think all the themes and functions of the factions flow so well together, you generally like them all or not at all in the end.

No, because that's largely false. And irrelevant.

You're irrelevant!

I always thought TR was more popular. Their colors, plus evil image attract more people. The evil side usually more popular in mmos.

This whole idea is irrelevant. I actually chose NC because they are distinctly anti-establishment.

The idea, or the topic? It's a general question that is fun to talk about. Not sure how my statement was irrelevant in the context.

I meant the NC = blue/gold = police = good guys. It just seemed really tenuous. I understand the color scheme is similar, but I think in reality the NC would be somewhat anti-policing.

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

Oh, so you mean the "FUCK THE POLICE" stance that some take? I see... Whateva' G

No, that's not what I mean at all. In my eyes NC are about freedom and self-regulation, not doing sociopathic things in spite of the law. Theres a distinct difference.

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

Crator · 2012-06-14, 05:03 PM

I'm not trolling... And I still don't see how my comment was irrelevant in the least...

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?

flies always gather around shit

Ghoest9 · 2012-06-14, 05:10 PM

Vanu = people who wish they were f---king elves
TR = people who think Nazis looked cool
NC = people who like the Tea Party

First, the Blue and Gold are not ugly. I think they look great together.

Second, Freedom baby! The NC! F*** YEA!! Comin' again to save the motherf***in' day - YEA!

Third - I'd rather make my shots count and have them hit hard than have to hold a stream of bullets on a target and feel like they're not doing enough. Always loved engaging TR at 100m with the Gauss Rifle. Pop Pop Pop Pop Pop - dead, while they just spray and miss.

I'm familiar with the mechanics but I'm choosing based off of lore. NC all the way! Plus the hardest hitting weapons in the game? Yes plz. It can fire slow all it wants means im landing every shot where i want it and its doin DAMAGE! PLus we are Freedom fighters in EVERY sense of the word. NC!
