For those who don't understand, the title is pretty much 'United Nations Space Command - United States Space Command?'
What I am trying to say is, I feel that Halo is too American. There isn't a lot of diversity - nationality wise.
As a Briton, I would love to see British regiments and divisions and such integrated into the UNSC, for example, an elite outfit of the Marine Corps, (you guessed it) a Royal Marine regiment, or SAS ODST.. Maybe a UNSC Frigate sporting a huge Union Jack on the side, heck even a HMS prefix.
Obviously it's not just the USA and UK in the world today, you could also have the famous Indian Ghurkas in the Army (I mean, Emile DOES have a Kukri after all) or a German Scorpion and whatever other tank division. Russian divisions in the Air Force, Canadian Peacekeeping forces and etc, and each different troop should in some way reflect their nationality because pride is a very strong thing, and there's no way for a second I believe that after 500 years, we'd all be stomped into the ground and turned into an American megastate..
I understand it would be hard to have a million different variations of a troop in the game, hence why we have the difference in Elites and Jackals between 3 and 4.. But something like a cutscene or something would be cool, think back to the UNSC Union Jack kicking ass in a space battle for this...
I for one would love to see a second ODST game based around a British Paratrooper/SAS ODST squad but that's kinda off topic so :b
What is everyone else's thoughts?
