Americans
Do you actually understand us Brits when your in a fireteam?
Every fireteam i've been in has only been with yanks, but they all understand me, even though sometimes I think some words sound alien to them.
I dont know, im bored at work
What stories do you fellow gamers have with this?

2 通の返信seeing that both of our languages are basically the same with only minor differences ya we can understand you pretty well.

1 返信Haven't played with anyone with a heavy accent yet, but even British accents & slang would be better than my mumbling and terrible penis jokes.

2 通の返信I'm British and I can barely understand anyone North of the Watford Gap. Ironic since I'm from Middlesbrough.

1 返信Only thing I ask Brits is Why do most of them suck on F A G S? Don't they know they'll get cancer from too much of that?

Yeah, I'm a bigger fan of other people's countries than my own (I'm a U.S. player), so I always like to meet gamers from other countries. (I made friends with a girl from Wales a week or so ago, actually) The thing about British people and Americans is that we both speak English (obviously :D), but you guys have a lot of terms for things, ones that we don't say. Color is colour, (which is actually kinda cool), chips for us are crunchy, where as British chips are our fries. Things like that are just interesting to learn about.

3 通の返信I grew up on a military base as well as being in the service myself so I dont have issues understanding MOST accents (some of the middle eastern do give me problems) the problem I have is I tend to unconsciously COPY the accent Im listening to not trying to make fun of the accent, I dont even realize Im doing it

I've played with A LOT of Brits and I've only had two occurrences. First let me say that I'm American. They're either really nice or become nice after you make a joke about Americans. I guess they realize you aren't a redneck douche so its all fun from there.

As a Brit I've never really had a problem with Americans understanding me, except when I use a slang word/saying which they've never heard... Then there's just silence, followed by laughter and a "WTF???!" Shouted down the mic lol :)

3 通の返信It is amazing that the country that spawned the language cant speak it! Kidding, I like gaming with the Brits. Laid back, fun, good gaming conversation. I work nights in 'Merica so I tend to run with a few.
