But ive noticed in the game that sometimes alot of the rank insignia and helmet insignia is wrong. I know its not a massive problem but when you go help the soldiers near the gliders.there all staff seargents from an anonymous regiment,I wanted to know if they where from the 327th or what. Also on the operation market mission when you land and get the jeep out ive noticed that every US soldier dosent have a helmet except your guys and corrions assault team that you pass and its the same with english troops in cut scenes thay all dont have helmets,seems abit stupid if you ask me.

Dawson doesnt even have a helmet in combat, i agree, incredibly stupid and unrealistic

I agree, a lack of helmet for long periods of time wasnt usually seen in battle. Of course you can lose in in a fire fight but Im sure they would either have picked it up afterwards if time permitted or sure enough got another one at camp.

While on the uniforms, I CANT stand that in all the "cutscene" flashbacks to RTH30 and EIB that everyone is wearing the M43 uniforms when they should be the M42s. Its got to be laziness since they got it right the 1st 2 games...

yeh thats exactly what it is JN56 lazzinsess took the words out of my damn mouth

yeah it is kind of lame that they couldnt play the game and find errors before they shipped the game off. I know in some interviews with the makers they said that they would fix some stuff and delay the game and fix it. well they delayed it alot and what were they doing this whole time. I know its not easy making a game but it could of been better, but i still think it a great looking game.

and Jn56 they are wearing M42 uniforms in the Flashbacks the only problem is that they are wearing the American flag arm patches. they might be m43s they probably just changed the coloring.

No, they are wearing the M43s in the flashbacks. They should be the M42 that they wore in RTH30 and EIB. Tan uniforms with the angled chest pockets and the the reinforced knee and elbow patches in green.

Honestly, if every insignia nitpicking were solved, would it have made the game better as a "game"?

Well since its not inisgnia but a uniform then yes, yes it would.
They had it right in the first 2 games and drop the ball in the third. Its not like they didnt know. Laziness and it kinda bummed me out when I was playing it.

Don't fool yourself, NO, it would not have made the game itself better.

And NO, Gearbox didn't have it right in the previous games either. In the Gearbox forums, someone actually took the time to write out pages after pages of things wrong with every little bit of nitpickings concerning ranks, insignias, uniforms, guns, locations, etc., wrong with the other games. Randy even cared to stop by and write that if people interested would want to compile a list of the MAJOR concerns wrong with the games, he would likely have the Gearbox Devs look into it, which again was another lie.

Yea dude it would have. Dont tell me it wouldnt have.
And they did get the uniforms in the first 2 games right. I dont see where you got "concerning ranks, insignias, uniforms, guns, locations, etc., " from since all Ive been talking about were the uniforms
