I can understand seeing the Scout and Engineer as Americans, because well, they are, but aren't you forgetting somebody? A certain class who enjoys his psychotic war flashbacks so much he lives them out through his day to day life with extreme gusto? Carries a rocket launcher around?intheweeds said:
He's only about as American as they come.
OT: The Sniper is Australian. There is no argument.
Oh come on. It really doesn't always have to be about that, does it? Not all Americans are ignorant, stereotyping assholes. And by stereotyping Americans, you are doing the same thing you criticize them for.Harlief said:
If I'm reacting too harshly to you post, I'm sorry. But the exaggerated hate for the US really bothers me sometimes.
OT: Yes, he is Australian. There are theories that the Pyro is a British Gentleman, due to the way he runs when defeated and the monocle and top hat items.
Just in case obvious troll isn't that obvious: He talks with a stereotypical australian accent, he evens says mate every two minutes. Pretty much all his equiment is named after and based on (stereotypical) australian things. There's no way in hell that he is an refined gentlema from the UK.
NO. There is a MASSIVE difference between the various British accents and the Australian accents.obex said:
The voice actor is from the US and married to Ellen McLain. He did several of the voices in Half-Life 2. Odessa Cubbage had a cheesy accent, too.Lukeje said:
I totally forgot about somebody! I even usually play a Soldier too! Bah thanks for reminding me. Okay, three Americans. hahaZ of the Na said:I can understand seeing the Scout and Engineer as Americans, because well, they are, but aren't you forgetting somebody?

I meant no offence, I'm from New Zealand (a country sometimes confused as part of Australia). My logic is that the biggest countries which predominantly speak English are the UK, the US and Australia. No-one in their right mind from the UK or Australia would ever entertain the idea that the sniper's accent is British, there is however a slim chance that someone from deep inside the US might be a tad confused coming from a country with its own set of accents.Sinclair Solutions said:
I'll admit, this does take some massive leaps in reasoning. I know not all Americans are as stupid as the loud-mouthed morons in the broadcasting business.
Easiest option would to be to call the Sniper a kiwi, that way everyone gets pissed off equally.
One of the achievements is "Australian Rules" when you dominate an enemy sniper. Yeah, there is no doubt he is Australian.
He can be British if you take into account that Australia was a British colony. But yeah, he's Australian.
Aw, everyone always forgets about Canada! We're huge in size, but too quiet I guess. We're like the curio cabinet in your mom's house. Huge and well made with lots of beautiful things inside, but no one ever remembers to go there for anything. It's just there in the background when you're eating dinner.Harlief said:
That wall would look awfully empty without us people!
(this whole post is a joke, in case you didn't gather that.)
Maybe this is an American thing where you can't tell Australian and British accents apart but...
He is Australian! He couldn't be any more Australian unless he had a koala clinging to his back to carry extra ammo for him.

Me pointing that out probably only reinforces what you were originally talking about, anyway, heh.intheweeds said:
