Rofl, just notice the lame ass BR flag? Yeh, well I was REALLY pist when I saw that. -
This is the North American/UK version of CF, not the Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, or Hindu version of CF. English is the official language of North America and the UK, so English should be the official language of the website and registration page for this version of the game. I'm sure that the Chinese version of CF only has a Chinese-language registration page.

Oh well. Diversity is good for the game. It's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We should celebrate our rich multi-cultural history.
No. Diversity is not good for this game. On a scale of 1-10 how much do YOU like being killed by someone teleporting across the map and or, by someone you put 3 bullets in their head and five in the chest? -

Trust me, laggers have it far worse than non-laggers most of the time; I've had extensive experience on both sides.
EDIT: In addition, one of the best aspects of the game is to make new friends from different places. -

hmm yeah let's just invite more people like the BRs to come on the game and ruin it with they lag, hacks, flooding, etc. Let's invite more people who we can't understand to flood our chats with asking for free ZP in other languages. Let's just invite more people who lag so bad that they all have to hack to be good. -

Well, in the end CF is just a game. Regardless of all else, I think the Brazilian population is useful in that they helped me to learn a few words in Portuguese. It would be nice to learn a bit of other languages as well. You see, then playing CF would also be an educational experience, and not just your ordinary video game. Parents would not mind their children playing since they are learning new languages. -

But the fact of the matter is, is that this game is supposed to be a NA, UK, and recently a Southern America game. Not a game out in East Bum F*ck. So, us "non-laggers" shouldn't HAVE to deal with all of the ridiculous bullsh*t if we are in our correct servers for where we live. By the way, I forgot to mention that 90%+ of ALL the hackers are not NA, UK, or Southern America. And one last note, how are you supposed to make friends with people that can't speak English?
p.s. Sorry for the use of profanities, I am just a strong believer that there shouldn't not be "outsider" access prohibited into our game.
Edit: About the post above, you could go on the internet and find out how to speak A LOT more Portuguese than some ignorant 12 year old Brazilian could teach you. -

I learned some really "useful" Portuguese from the BRs too... hmm let's see here.
I learned that in BR, "FDP"="filo de ****"="son of a b****".
I learned that in BR, "quem quer ZP?"="who wants zp?"="who wants me to pretend to buy you ZP so I can hack your account?".
Maybe it would be nice for all the children on the game to learn these words in other languages too. I'm sure parents would just LOVE it if all their kids learned how to say son of a b**** in Chinese and Hindu and all the other languages you mentioned.
BRs are the worst nightmare that ever happened to this game. They are ruining it and all the good, English-speaking, PAYING players are quitting because of them. Nobody wants more foreign players on the game doing the same thing as the BRs. -

Obviously, your internet has more to do with how much you lag than where you live.
It's called lag spikes, the best of us get that. I can guarantee that your ping does not stay like that through the whole game. -

My ping usually stays like that until I disconnect from the game.
And c'mon guys, MLK Day is coming up. No need to bash anyone.
Diversity--face it; embrace it. -

+1. The guy who made this suggestion in the first place has no idea what he's talking about lol. Most of the ppl on the game like the BRs don't even know how to say hi in English -

In what way shape or form are we bashing anyone? We are simply stating facts and opinions. By the way, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't MLK day all about how he changed things for the blacks?
Edit: Green, no need to imply Brack is of lesser intelligence. Because considering his sophistication, he is smarter than you and I combined. -

But since we are in continuous contact with each other, we may learn some Portuguese from them and they may learn some English from us. The same with other languages if we can draw them into the game.In what way shape or form are we bashing anyone? We are simply stating facts and opinions.

Not only blacks, but all minorities in the United States and oppressed peoples all around the world. -

Okay, well anyway, back on topic. Even if you see a bunch of BR's walking spamming their ridiculous things, you are STILL not going to learn Portuguese, you may be able to spell some words out, but you will still not know how to pronounce them and you will still not know what they are saying. -

Barack Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to the USA. He is ruining this country beyond repair. Anyone who names his IGN after Obama is, very obviously, of lesser intelligence. -

You're dumb sir. This is a video game. How in the hell is he ruining the world by wanting to let more people into a video game? And I personally am not a Barrack Obama fan, but just because people like him doesn't mean they are of lesser intelligence. So please just but out of our conversation. -

It's still a good introduction to the language. When you do decide to take up learning it, playing CF and chatting with other players will be a great supplement to your coursework.GreenBeret16 wrote: »Barack Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to the USA.

Ahem. You think I'm the worst thing to happen to America? Worse than the Civil War? Worse than the Ku Klux Klan? Worse than the Great Depression? Worse than Pearl Harbor? Worse than September 11, 2001? Worse than the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Kr., and Robert Kennedy? Anyhow, let's stay on topic. You need not suggest I am of "lesser intelligence" in order to avoid the actual issue. Have a jolly good day, brother. -

Thank you very much, sir. You have affirmed my faith in humankind. A perfect example of how people can disagree without being disagreeable. -

It's really not that well of an idea considering the fact that I'm sure there are some online chat rooms that you can talk to others in different languages and plus you could use FaceBook or Myspace to find people and ask them if they would mind helping you out. A video is far from a good solution to learning a new language.
Edit: No problem. ^^^^^^ -
