Seems to me ES should quit worrying about the 'ruiter' thing and get cracking with that ridiculously flawed French over. I seriously don't see the 'Dutch' problem anyway -why write a 5 paragraph blog entry on a simple pronunciation issue (on a single word) that can be solved in 5 minutes?

Can it really be THAT hard or time consuming to correct the French voice over? Especially when considering that the French market is perhaps ten times larger than the Dutch market -is it not worth it?

Perhaps ES has already sorted out the issue. In that case I apologise, and please close this thread down.

If not, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE FRENCH VOICE-OVER. AS IT STANDS IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

Don't confuse the French and the English please -that's the final indignity.

The Dutch are irritating! (Especially on Belgian festivals!) They can't stand decent beer!

Anyway, since I speak a word French also I would like to have it correct.

I am the chosen one.

Not Duvel en Jupiler. Palm, Hoegaarden, Guezue, Grimbergen, Stella. Heineken is water...

deadly_cookydog don't be such an idiot, the French are far more disliked than the English. Just because you hate England so much, doesn't mean everyone else does.

Guys, this is an international gaming forum. National pride is all very nice. Wanting your language to be correct in-game is all very nice. But it is completely unacceptable to abuse this forum for petty, nationalist trench warfare.

I would be surprised if ES does not have linguistics take a final look at the various voice overs.

And if deadly would like someone to pay attention, perhaps writing a thread similar in tone to the Dutch one, might be better received.

*reists urge to post 'french military victories' picture*

And cooky, no one cares if it's correct, as long as it sounds French with stuff liek "We, we, monsieur," then most people will be satisfied. Now shut up and go moan about this to people who care.

French voice overs are always funny. It makes no difference to me whether they pronounce it this way or that, I'll skip it either way.
Schildpad, I thought that was very funny about the Germans, but he is right. Where are you from? And I like being hated anyway

, it's a way of life nowadays.
I could write a few dozen pages on stupidity in France and various other nations (including USA) right now but I don't choose to because I don't want to have to start a war (though it would be kind of neat to go down in history

).
Hey mister Canuck, hows yous guys doin up thir? Butcha know yer beers nothin tee irs, nosireebob. Lol. I haven't even tried our beer (or yours for that matter), but I couldn't help it.

I was one person last time I counted, and not 90 million people. And you are not a nation either, schildpad. You are just one individual like the rest of us, and you're fully responsible for your actions in here as an individual forumer.

But actually you've got a point, schildpad. Germans know pretty well from their historical experience that it is a very bad idea to start wars.

I wish we could say that mister Ingo; but we all know that it depends on WHY you start wars.

You guys should grow up, really. I mean look at all of you going around, the Dutch suck, the French suck, the English suck, the Americans suck. Oh wow, saying a country is bad/inpopular/sucks makes me so cool. More than anything it just shows you have no ability to have a good, mature conversation. And one doesn't need to be 25 years old to have them.

If you want to discuss politics and nations, please go to another forum and do soo. And yeah, even those forums won't involve people saying how other countries suck.

Do this again and I will take action for disruptive forum behaviour. And this goes out to most posters in this thread.
