This Quiz Is a Battlefield

image

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.)

60% and third place! (of four participants)

I'm gooood.

I failed that
Hard
And I thought I would do well...

50%. Not too bad.
It was bloody hard, though.

How the hell did I manage to get 90%?

I was just randomly clicking it.

Yay! 70%! I think that's the easiest quiz i've done.

Where does the illustration come from? I must say I like the concept quite a lot.

There I aced it, with only knowing the tagline question.

I think that's the easiest quiz i've done.

And yet you only got 70%?
I managed to scrounge up a 100% after my fifth go. Wooo, 7th on the list!

FOURTH, FOURTH, FOURTH!!

After 2nd try. Damn Darkest of Days... Still, waiting for the badge.

I was a bit let down that there was no BF/BF2 questions... guess there was a Bad Company one :/

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

Woo! Currently holding 3rd place. I got to admit I took a few educated guesses though...

50%.
I don't play many war games, so it's quite a feature if you think about it'

I mean, except from a occasional Halo or Left 4 Dead

90% I have no Idea where I'm wrong.

Oh? Didn't notice that. Thanks.

I just got first place, 100% on the first go in One minute and eight seconds, how very odd

Bask in my knowledge of War games lowly mortals :)

The irony is I'm more of an RPG kinda guy

70%, not bad considering I guess on a few of them.

I got 7/10. Thats pretty good considering that I guessed for most of them. :D

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 aced it on my first try, somehow. And I've placed second.

Lucky me?

80% not bad, however just glad to see advanced wars got a mention

I didnt say i've done alot of quizzes.

I was proud to get the market garden question right, although I did generally poor. Still a pass though...

Gah! I suck! ...well just goes to show I don't play war games.

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.

80% Hah I'm surprised, I think I've got the Heroes over Europe wrong and the CoD4 special mode.

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.

Heroes Over Europe is fantastic, but those RNZAF missions are killer.

Tricky quiz...almost got stumped on a few...but I guessed right.

That is the most thorough answer I have ever seen. Well done.

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.
