Who ever said that there would only be American voices? And by the way, why can't a person of Indian descent speak "American"? Do you realize that American isn't a language or even a dialect?

I would be halfway willing to bet that at a certain point the US redefined its language as "American" instead of "English".

They like to do groan worthy stuff like that.

Considering that we don't even have an official language yet (de facto English, yes, but not officially), that would be quite a stretch.

But would you even be surprised?

[Sirus]

Uh, yes. Because aside from some slang terms the English spoken over here is not radically different from that spoken in England or Australia. In five hundred years? Who knows? But the folks here insisting that foreigners speak "American" are just as stupid as the people who think everyone in this country is a gun-waving flag-wearing maniac.

I don't expect him to be speaking Hindi or Punjabi, im talking about the accent.

I don't expect him to be sounding like this. por example
nice shot of the Indian flag as well. (also I think the Assault one is from Russia, Sniper is American and Support is also American)

You find me an Indian who has that accent (not faking it but heck good luck finding that baritone in one anyway) and I will give you 1000 rupees. And thanks for the stupid assumption that I was using "American" as a language instead of an accent, assumptions make an ass out of you.

Also to be honest with the way your nitpicking I would have thought you would have gone "why can't an American change his nationality to become Indian", I seriously doubt the game is applying flags by genealogical descent and ancestry

Not 2 levels underground, no possibility for some hole above them, in fact you have to be pretty worried if they work fine underground and have people walking over them...

Given that your base is supposed to be secret while monitoring a wide area around it constantly, I'd think you'd need a better explanation than "there's holes above them" to begin with.

Also, radar exposure isn't harmful as far as I'm aware, unless you meant something else.

sure you can have random soldiers (im sure you buy em random as well) but what's the point of giving them nationalities if your going to give em generic american voice, might as well switch all flags to USA.

Kind of an odd complaint if you're trying to compare it to the original, given that they only had one voice set per gender as well, and it basically consisted of them dying.

On its own merits, yeah, that's unfortunate if it's true; I'm not aware of any info implying that there aren't Indian voice sets or anything, there just weren't any in that particular demo.

Of course, no matter how many soundsets they do have they aren't going to be enough for exactly what everyone wanted. Modding more in should hopefully be relatively simple, though.

The USA will probably never have any official language. Some States do, but to my knowledge they've never been challenge. I can totally see an argument about having an official language unconstitutional.

I always assumed they were not so much radar dishes, as satellite dishes- the founding nations gave you the codes to their raw radar data, and this represents how much of it you can process (so it's not just a SatLink, it's also a shit tonne of 1999 era computers). Not sure about short range radars though...

Also, radar exposure isn't harmful as far as I'm aware, unless you meant something else.

Ever heard of people getting cancer from UV rays? Radar is somewhat better (per megawatt emitted), due to having a longer wavelength, but you can still get it. And the bonus is that because radar is so good at penetrating the whole body, your cancer is much likely to be in an internal organ. Still it's reasonably safe to quickly walk in front of one.

Also, birds flying near/landing on powerful radar arrays and being cooked was how the microwave oven came to be. (Wikipedia suggests it was actually a chocolate bar melting in someone's pocket as they were standing in front of an active one, but to me that sounds like they cleaned up the origin story a bit and I know I heard the bird thing from somewhere. Also suggests the first intentionally cooked food was popcorn, also suspiciously novel.)

American english is a dialect.

AFAIK, before the American Independence, all british people spoke what we now understand as the American dialect. Later, british started their own new accent, with blackjack  and hookers.

Actually no, it's not. It's 29 different dialects.

Before I even begin to panic about this, I'll give them the presumption that they would be doing the voice work LAST or near last and are doing development until then with one test set of voice files.  It would only make sense because any change or addition would mean getting every single voice actor back for each set of changes, and then what if one or more is not available?  Throw out their existing work and pay for a new guy to redo it - oh joy.
