For me, it's the AAF. They always seemed cool.

>>65192755That sort of fighting was had off-game boundaries. It was insinuated they happened, but all you fought against was the random carpet bombing of napalm from warthogs and random helicopters.

>>65192760>>65192765The First Contact campaign was fun but it left a bad aftertaste. As far as I remember you had to help the Russians take over Livonia in the last mission and the LDF was generally portrayed as the bad guys.
>>65192728
>>65192809Those are some nice organs where organs shouldn't be you have there. Be a real shame if a blank showed up.
>>65192945This appears to be a real image though?
>>65192728Duty
>>65192728Your Factorio military.Stopping the advance of the abominable bugs with walls and automated turrets, and driving around your manufacturing base with railway artillery to annihilate their outposts is what man was made for.
Rangers
HECU
>>65193042Have you even played New Vegas?The rangers are nothing but fags and posers that exist for no other reason than to project NCR propaganda.If you play the NCR route and talk to them before the battle of Hoover dam, half of them straight up admit that they'll just kill themselves if the Legion attack the dam because they're too pussy to actually fight the fanatical luddite chuds cosplaying as iron-age soldiers.
Fuck you, your planet and your galaxy.
>>65193078>Gets wiped out on their home planet by Bertha creep.
>>65193108Wait that's the arm commander
>>65192728How could the Altians afford so many Leo2 revolutions?
>>65193070the other rangers
>>65193078>The ARMBased.COREfags should be wiped out like any other computer program that acts out of turn.
>>65193042NCR military is the best looking army in New Vegas, if not in the entire Fallout franchiseprove me wrong (you can't)
>>65193070>half of them straight up admit that they'll just kill themselves if the Legion attack the dam because they're too pussy to actually fight the fanatical luddite chuds cosplaying as iron-age soldiers.This never happened. Also elite NCR rangers straight up mog every other NPC combatant in the game and are impossible to intimidate (unlike centurions who will eventually flee if you damage them enough). And in general basic bitch NCR troops win most scripted engagements between them and legionnaires, unless it's near cottonwood cove.
>>65193243NCR ends up as the butt of the joke in most fallout discussions, but they are legit the best faction in the wasteland. >oh but muh corruption, taxes, and misappropriated funds!It’s the post apocalyptic wasteland, if I have the privilege of worrying about taxes and politicians instead of non irradiated food/water and roving rape gangs, I think we’re doing alright. Not to mention the NCR soldiers at the top level mog every other faction handily.
>>65192751You forgot about laser weapons, cyborgs, stealth troops and stealth aircraft. Truly the greatest faction.
>>65193330>but they are legit the best faction in the wastelandI'm inclined to agree, but all their faults are ones that normally come with an advanced system that can at least soak part of them.but they aren't and advanced system.they are scavengers that found an old civics textbook and copied it word for word.I'd even go further, that they copied it word for word is a further and greater indictment: they are unable to adapt to the reality they live in. there is no critical (self)reflection or the ability to find solutions to problems on their own, it is a dead institution.Cesar despite all his retarded LARP shit did adapt the Romans to suit the world he lives in and the goals he wants to achieve. it is a living institution. the problem here being that he hasn't looked for and shaped a successor that can do the same. and so it will become just like the NCR the moment he dies, just far far more cruel and LARP retarded
>>65192849It was a different time, so depicting some russian unit in a sympathetic way wasn't so strange, but you are misremembering it a little, you don't take over Livonia, only try to prevent them from blowing up the alien stuff, their actions are misguided instead of evil and it was really just about having a conflict of some kind
>>65193462It was 2019 and Russia already had been occupying Crimea for some time
>>65193389I kind of wonder how much of the recent NCR love is a result of the Toddout show fucking them over for retarded reasons rather than people legit liking them all along? Certainly I know people went back and revaluated them in the wake of the show.They certainly have got something resembling a functional logistics system considering everyone has a rifle, uniform and ammo. It just seems though they were very much used to being a big fish in a small pond so the very moment they do encounter any organized resistance they struggle and try to resort to attrition warfare which when your average trooper is more or less a conscript worried about their next meal rather than a fanatical warrior who thinks a glorious death is his path to Valhalla, then it is a surefire way to a demoralized population that will likely rebel in the future.
>>65192751>tacticals and GtA/V bikesTheir Motorcycles with ATGM's were ahead of its time.>>65192755>Multi role fighter jetsThey have F-22 Raptors in the cutscenes. GDI uses YF-23's.https://youtu.be/H__C6wk-CdY?t=951
>>65193046https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJF6u-i0UEcTruth
>>65193491The image of the NCR is tainted by the way the game is set up. The courier encounters troopers most often in the main command buildings and the strip. Of course that is where you’ll find the most pencil pushers, corrupt dinosaurs, and under trained guards. Whereas when you encounter troops out in the wasteland they are pretty reliable and dependable in combat. From the players perspective the NCR is laughable and easy to kill. But lore wise, they are an unstoppable fighting force with enormous resources and a well organized supply system(relative to every other faction).
>>65193518Hell yeah brother
>>65192728The United Shinbo Alliance
>>65193537>>65193491You have to remember FNV was in 2010. The NCR is a criticism of interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The parallels of the NCR going into the desert to control a place they don't really understand practically write themselves. However, FNV is a well written game with nuance, so they also highlight the NCR (and America's) positive features: incredible material wealth, power projection, and promotion (at least nominally) of humanistic values.Nowadays everything has to preachy crap for millennials on their phones who think they're Katniss Everdeen or Harry Potter and America is the heckin' evil empire.
>My people. Sons, and daughters of Helghan... This much, I vow... The history of these days will be written in blood... By crushing the armies of our enemy, by seizing the weapons they thought to turn against us, we were fighting for our very existence! But if there are those who would deny us peace, refuse our rightful place in the universe, then, we will unleash such terrible vengeance, that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish! The enemy may shatter our bodies, but they cannot break our spirit... Even now, they advance on our homeworld to seize by force, what they cannot claim by right... They cannot imagine what awaits them.... We will SMITE the invaders from our skies! Though they sweep over our lands like the sands of winter, never again we´ll bow before them... Never again endure their oppression... Never again endure their tyranny... We will strike without warning, and without mercy, fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul... We will shatter their dreams, and haunt their nightmares... Drenching our ancestor's graves with their blood! And as our last breath tears their lungs... as we rise again from the ruins of our cities... they will know, Helghan...belongs...to Helghast.
>>65192728Their air assault or helicopter infantry or however you call them were always cool. So fun to ride with your team on hellcats and land in a hot LZ back in the day on KOTH. Arma 3 is truly a master crafted game
>>65193491Zero, NCR fags are still repeating the exact same talking points that they were spewing since before the show began despite their faction being settler colonials just like the early US and modern Israel: seizing and monopolizing resources in the name of cancerous expansion.
>>65193867I think it's funny how the Helghast are the most overtly and caricaturized space nazi faction in fiction, yet among others you could compare them to (like Zeon, Galactic Empire, etc) their history and plight are actually the most sympathetic and understandable.
>>65193330>It’s the post apocalyptic wasteland, if I have the privilege of worrying about taxes and politicians instead of non irradiated food/water and roving rape gangsThat's the neat part. You have to worry about corruption and taxes AND roving bandits/rape gangs if you live in the NCR. New Vegas painted the NCR as being a geopolitical organization that was bursting at the seams and ready to fall apart if someone with enough military might so much as touched its borders.
>To demonstrate its military strength to the GLA and the rest of the world, China organized a military parade at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. However, the GLA attacked the parade and detonated a nuclear warhead, annihilating the Square and killing many of the soldiers and spectators present. Chinese forces quickly routed the GLA forces in the city and destroyed their own nuclear stockpile to prevent the GLA from capturing it.>The GLA sought to expand their reach to all of Europe by striking at the US Mediterranean Fleet, stationed at Matala, Crete. A GLA strike force captured a particle cannon and used it to sink the aircraft carrier USS Reagan.>Following the destruction of the Mediterranean fleet, the US began reevaluating its overseas presence, with rumors that they would completely withdraw from Europe. Emboldened, the GLA launched an attack on a toxin facility on the American west coast. A strike team led by Jarmen Kell stole toxins from the facility and transported them away using a stolen American cargo plane.>With even American soil under threat, calls for withdrawing from Europe to bolster homeland security grew louder in Washington. Meanwhile, the GLA was determined to hasten this decision. They captured a Chinese base in Stuttgart, Germany, and used it to launch an attack on the US Central Command, also located there. With the loss of its European command center, the US began a full withdrawal from Europe to defend its homeland. Many of the abandoned bases fell to the GLA, allowing them to sweep across Europe, taking over cities and erecting monuments.>Embarrassed by the GLA's use of stolen Chinese equipment, China decided to expel the GLA forces occupying Europe following the US withdrawal. They destroyed the GLA-occupied US base in Stuttgart using a nuclear missile and mopped up the survivors with ground forces.Americans will say they weren't defeated by the GLA
>>65193117In the game's timeline they're 'outdated'. Though given the Americans are just using the Merkava that would mean the only ones with 'modern' tanks are the Chinese cuz they have railguns.
>>65194143Well yeah, new Vegas took place at the major turning point in a massive war. He course everything was unstable. But before that the NCR was the dominant power of the west coast for 200 years.
>>65192816The only Eldar god left is the clown god and he's a cunt.
>>65193042>>65193243The faggots who despise the shoddy treatment of the NCR in the TV series, are those faggots who self-inserted the NCR as a replacement for a large well-equipped state-organized military with uniforms and rank structures like the one the US has now, its basically the COD and military fetishists which /k/ is infested with. They are upset that the NCR no longer exists as the vehicle for them to live out their fantasies of pic relatedThese are the same faggots who make those hour-long videos about reforming the Minutemen in Fallout 4 into a massive Commonwealth army that uses Gunner-like BDU uniforms and different specialized branches
>>65193117They bought them off the Greeks (not named, but the only country that fits the description) at firesale prices using Chinese money. Remember Greece defaulted on their debts while the game was in development, so having to sell their military equipment off to pay IMF creditors wasn't outside of the question.
>>65194201The railguns werent canon until like 2 years ago.
>>65194182>Many of the abandoned bases fell to the GLA, allowing them to sweep across Europe, taking over cities and erecting monuments.Hilariously, Islamists are very close to taking over Europe this easily without military or governmental opposition. It's not that Europeans don't have the military power to defend themselves, they just simply don't have the will
>>65194301>Following the US retreat into isolationism, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization faded into irrelevancy. With the world grateful for China's role in the liberation of Europe, China and European leaders founded a new military and economic alliance, the Eurasian Unity League. China had become the world's foremost superpower.

>>65192728I like it when armies are well-equipped and supported but grossly incompetent and inefficient for a multitude of reasons so that any victories they do get is by Ruski-style attrition or dumb luck. I also like the idea that actual competent people get frustrated because they can't play the internal politics game as well as some nepobaby or office siren.
>>65194318Which EDF game do you recommend for somebody that has never played one?
>>651943274.1
>>65194297They would have been in at launch if the luddite fans hadn't bullied them out of it.
>>65193867Surprised it took this long.Pic related gets my vote.
>>65194124Its the fact they keep writing them as the bad guys and keep getting annoyed that players reject the idea they are the antagonists and would rather play as them.>>65194182OP said fictional though?>>65194201In reality the Leopard 2 model wasn't ready for launch so they gave NATO the Merkava as NATO side needed a tank. A lot of vehicles that the AAF have were meant to be for NATO and a lot of NATO vehicles were meant to be AAF.>>65194278So basically Fallout The Frontier fags?>>65194382The Arma community especially the milsim one is the worst. So much was cut from the game due to autistic screeching. I remember the constant complaints that the use of drones was unrealistic and no future war would use them as heavily as they were in game.>>65194517Helghast are more a society than a military.
>>65193482The general view of the situation was that ukraine should just accept the territorial losses and move on, maybe getr some economic compensation from russia
>>65192728never understood how a region with 10,000 people has an army
>>65192728I love the 2035 setting, shame it's going away in the next game. Germany having 40% unemployment rate, NATO losing influence and members, Sino-Indo-Persian alliance being the new global police force, vgh.
>>65194938Altis is based on Malta, start by looking at their armed forces
>>65194938Its a military junta, having an army is their whole thing. I'm not aware of any quite that small, but the Solomon islands and Fiji are both less than a million people and have been juntas at varying points. Its history is weird though, its obviously got heavy Greek influence but was seemingly never actually Greek, Altis is historically a British protectorate very similar to Malta. The Maltese armed forces incidentally being about the same size as the AAF.

>>65194244Isha is still around she's just trapped in Nurgle's realm, and Khaine is technically still alive but shattered into a million pieces and ejected from the warp. Cegorach is the only intact and free eldar God. Oh and Ynnead too, sort of, but he didn't exist until recently so he didn't survive the fall, seeing as he wasn't born until some time after it happened.
>>65195476Wrong thread?
>>65194182Too bad the real-life GLA turned out to be shit but with the same tech tree. They've been engaged in a three-day war for years...

>>65193028based, the factory must grow
I like most of the armies and other factions you see in MICA's games. KCCO may be utter fucking bastards that tried to murder you several times but damn did they look cool doing it. They still got taken out by a bunch of Ukraine pleasure dolls given guns. (skip over the neo USSR air force taking your side in that civil war)
>>65195811
>>65192849>I didn't like it because le heckin' Russians weren't evil caricatures. Boo-hoo, faggot. Cry about it on plebbit.
>>65194117>using settler as a bad wordDead giveaway for a leftist faggot. I’ll tell you what, I’ll give a shit about Gaza the very minute I hear an Arab academic lament the political and ethnic displacement of the Amazegh people on their ancestral homelands by Arabs. Bonus points if they refer to Al-Andalus as brutal colonialism.
>>65192789>Laughs in existential nihilism
>>65195549Such a cool game
