So when I hear about some New Zealanders pissing there pants over wanting in when Australia, an identical country with identical customs and voices is alrady in I have to laugh. New Zealand noob - But our countries much bigger than yours
Your country may be bigger, but Scotlands population then was about double that of New Zealand, not sure about now, but who gives a shit anymore?
So like yeah, I got out the wrong side of the bed this morning. |
From what I can tell, I'm the only kiwi who's posted in this thread so far. No Kiwi has been 'pissing their pants over wanting in'. New Zealand had one of the highest casualty rates of all the countries involved in WWII (per capita). In the same way, NZ probably has one of the highest numbers of people who play FH, again per capita. We only have 4 million people, but when FH was at its height (pre BF2) we easily filled two servers every night, which is no mean feat for such a small population.
Kiwis and Aussies are very different to members of the Commonwealth armies from the British Isles, this alone probably warrants us being in. And I'm very happy for the Australians that they're finally getting represented in such a great mod. I'd be even more happy if the Kiwis were in their alongside them, or even seperate to them, but hell, we are pretty insignificant over all.

I'm not sure if it's just because you're not a great speller, or if you've only heard the term before, never seen it in writing, but dude - Ma
ori. I think it would be awesome if the Maori Battalion could be featured.

Australia New Zealand Army Corps.
New Zealand is a small country, and taking away any per capta comments, their contribution to the war was minimal. So I definetly don't expect the mods to do as much as lift a finger to try and include NZ in the mod. That said, we've got quite a few talented modellers in the BF community, many of whom are huge FH fans. If these guys (and I know that one of them tried applying for FH not too long ago, but didn't have the time) were to make an effort to model in some kiwi uniforms and skins, then maybe we will see Aotearoa included in FH one day, who knows.
If it happens, you know that we'll have to include a Bob Semple tank as an Easter Egg in a map with Kiwi soldiers in them.
