Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 547 Joined: 19 Sep 2008   | I was a bit let down that there was no BF/BF2 questions... guess there was a Bad Company one :/ |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1589 Joined: 6 Apr 2008   | Neat...one question almost got me though, the 'Silent Hunter 2' question. It's not -exactly- the thing the answer supplies, but close enough I guess. :P |
Muckraker  Posts: 334 Joined: 27 Oct 2008   | Woo! Currently holding 3rd place. I got to admit I took a few educated guesses though... |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4445 Joined: 20 Jul 2008    | 70%, not bad considering I guess on a few of them. |
Master Archivist  Posts: 9863 Joined: 10 Mar 2009 | I got 7/10. Thats pretty good considering that I guessed for most of them. :D |
Muckraker  Posts: 279 Joined: 5 May 2009    | Congratulations, you scored 0%, with 0 of 10 correct! You're currently ranked 427th out of 428 total entries. Beat that yo! War never changes is from Metal Gear! |

I didnt say i've done alot of quizzes. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2725 Joined: 20 May 2009 | I was proud to get the market garden question right, although I did generally poor. Still a pass though... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2957 Joined: 17 Jun 2009     | Gah! I suck! ...well just goes to show I don't play war games. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4013 Joined: 5 Jun 2009   | FWOOOOSH! Ratatatatatata! SPLAT! Dakka dakka dakka dakka! 13th currently (pretty symbolic in war context,isn't it?) - with all questions answered on three goes. Only one i tripped over was HOE3 question - didn't think THAT nation's pilot would be left out. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4474 Joined: 10 Feb 2008 | 80% Hah I'm surprised, I think I've got the Heroes over Europe wrong and the CoD4 special mode. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 636 Joined: 27 Nov 2008 | Yeah baby! I got third out of 809 on my first try! War, what is it good for? Making me feel great that's what. |
On the Record  Posts: 7368 Joined: 23 Dec 2007   | Heroes Over Europe is fantastic, but those RNZAF missions are killer. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1133 Joined: 11 Jan 2009    | Tricky quiz...almost got stumped on a few...but I guessed right. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 707 Joined: 30 Jan 2008  |
That is the most thorough answer I have ever seen. Well done. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4568 Joined: 28 May 2009    | This was a good quiz. I got it in 3 tries even though I haven't played most of these games. Glad to see that Advance Wars got a shout-out! Okay, I'm gonna start working on a quiz so I can get that Trebek in Training badge. I think I have a good topic too... |

Its a propaganda poster from the 40's
Not to be a correction nazi, but its silent hunter 3, its the best atlantic theatre one out atm. The 5th game in the series comes out in 2010. I think I'm the only one here that plays it. |

This Quiz Is a Battlefield
War. War never changes - and neither does our fascination with the battlefield. Whether it's a dogfight in the skies over Europe, or a dense jungle on an alien world, there's something about military conflict that never ceases to capture our imaginations.
This week's quiz is all about wars in videogames - some fictional, some not. As always, you can take as long as you like, but remember: Your overall time will affect your position on the leaderboards.
Grab a weapon and prepare to fight! (Take the quiz.)
