I wonder why the italians are featured so little in hystorical FPS.
Italians have sucked ass at fighting non-Italians since roman times.
>t. Italian
FPS are usually set during WW2 and on-ward but Italy has no recent military history worth mentioning.
Garibaldi military career could make for a good game, just not an FPS though.
>though
what's the grammatecally correct thing to do in this case, my schizo moron?
thoughever
thoughemevs't
i don't believe you, i will youse this from now on thoughever
thoughbeit
I beg to differ. Italy had been quite active in africa and middle east. A game set in the somali civil war in the early 90s would be kino
Come on, doing America's bidding as part of our vassallage to them doesn't really count.
It was a UN mission and quite important since we had command of it and it was our biggest déploiment since ww2

RTS?

I'd fully expect Italian-Americans to throw a shitshow about it because he was an evil colonizer who conquered the South when them waz kangz and shiet.
>Italy has no recent military history worth mentioning.
they do, but they are always complete booty cheeks at everything
This
Terrible military history and culture.

They're featured in every FPS that includes a "you are leaving the mission area" message.
That was one of my great-granddads job during WW1.
can't play as the baddies in ww2, but they seem to be represented in the few major ww1 games
Outside the War of the League of Cambai as well as Lepanto, they've been irrelevant for the most part. They'd rather lend-lease than do the fighting themselves.
Even their mercenaries are a tad goofy compared to Swiss and Swedish kinds.
Italy did beat the Turks decisively, but that's when they were sick.
Darkest hour is working on a Italian faction and 4 map too bad nobody plays it anymore as well we just had company of heroes 3 launch Italy well you only get afrika Korps with Italian call ins so oh well
Italy's as a country only appeared in the XIX century, so the only well-known major wars in which modern Italy took action was WWI and WWII.
They did okay in WWI but are totally overshadowed by the French/English/German front and their performance in WWII would make France looks like a master tactician in comparison.
France fell in 3 weeks, italy was in the conflict until the end
>France fell in 3 weeks, italy was in the conflict until the end
If you don't consider the FFF as part of the French war effort, then Italy's run should stop at October 1943 then.
Also, the Italian barely made it past the 10 km into french territories before they surrendered even though the frogs were getting buttfucked by the Fritz. So yeah, not the greatest record ever.
the point is that nobody had a clear idea of what to do, and nobody really wanted to do that in the first place.
>If you don't consider the FFF as part of the French war effort
I do not. "Effort" is also offensive in this context. Hollywood isn't reality.
>then Italy's run should stop at October 1943 then.
Correct.
Italians are bad at warfare, and that's okay. Colonizing the rest of the world with your culture is a much more awesome accomplishment.
>tfw no ethiopian war sim
That sucks man, it was the biggest colonial deployement in history and the Italians buttfucked them so thoroughly they still cry to this day
yes I agree, a game about Italy getting their asses kicked in the first Ethiopian war would be pretty based. However the Germano Ethiopian war (because Italy did absolute Shitaly and took all the credit) would be pretty lame.
>Germano Ethiopian war
Are you actually retarded?
Once again, the Italians did jack shit and got carried by Germany. Makes sense too considering they were more incompetent than usual at the time.
>t. bulb headed Black
Italy didn't even exist as a singular political entity until 180 years ago
same applies to Germany, but unlike Germany, Italy was never truly a great power in their own right
italians don't fight, they knuckle under and run away
It's always the French's fault
Because they are turncoats and losers.
>I heard that one time you single-handedly defeated a horde of rampaging somethings in the something-something-river.
>The Austrians? A trifle! It was simply a matter of outsmarting them.
>Wow! I never would have thought of that!
>You see, Austrian machine guns have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them, until they reached their limit and shutdown. Mario, show them the medal I won.
>wins most of the isonzo battles
>death toll just slightly above the austrians
>memed to be incompetent
i mean he was, but not to the level this place make him out to be. the main problem with cadorna is the absurd amount of disciplinary reprisals and summary executions within his own troops and staff.
>find a Gankerfag that knows an italian battle that isn't Isonzo challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Because they never sized up to the other great powers. They were pretty much as useful in the world wars as Romania, except without the oil.
idk mang, read about the history of the isonzo battles and tell me why nobody wants to portray the italians in them...
Itd only work on a Sadcore storygame where "Please just leave we dont want to shoot you" works for drama..
No one wants to play as Shitalians. Simple as. Isonzo is a good game though.
