Mercs ethnicities, needs more POC representation

Not sure how I missed this until now, but OP was talking about Indian people, not Chinese.

A thing that we’ve pushed is an overall inventory, just like the OP did. Then Smooth made a Street Fighter-like nationality map for our Mercs, and that made some of the gaps pretty obvious.

I definitly want to see a native american with a tomahawk as melee weapon!

SF is one of my most fav games ever and I’d really like to see DB become more like it; at least as far as it can go as a fps game. The set abilities, the great variety of classes and ethnicies, this obscure organisation in the background, that’s already quite street-fighter-esque. And as in SF, it can take some time to fully master your merc and I’ve learned to really appreaciate DB for that, especially after I’ve started playing ‘SSF lV AE’ eight months ago.

Yeah, I know, I just mistakenly thought, that you were talking about asians in general; but you obviously meant specifically Indians. Got you know :slight_smile:

Need custom killstreak announcements to go with that: “Machete kills!” and “Machete kills again!” :smiley:

Ah the Old World romantic view of the native warrior… :tongue: Last time they took up arms in my corner of NA they looked like this (on the right):


Lots of AKs around but not many tomahawks…

Dont forget its in near futur game :wink: not sure about the tomahawk

Since we are at natives; what about Sony Landham, who has a particularly good ear for stuff in the trees? Looks like he traded his Tomahawk, for a tad more effective assault rifle shotgun combo.



Btw., he was around 46, when they shot Preadator; I might say he was in terrific shape for his age back then.

like Djiesse says, we have plenty of First Nations Warriors, lots of them combat vets. The Mohawk have essentially a Sovereign Nation in northern New York and south eastern Canada

any way the only troops using them now are Special Forces

I had in mind the first predator movie when I mentioned native american warrior. I also had one of Games Workshop miniature for the Warhammer 40000, the one that belongs to Schaeffer’s squad, if someone knows what I’m talking about. :wink:
