Talk:Army Men

The Post With No Meaning

Hello! Passing by here I thought I'd use my first edit to change "know as" to known as. Ciao! --

Army Men 3D

I was an engineer on Army Men 3D Playstation and know for a fact that it wasn't a direct port of the PC version. There were significant gameplay differences between the two as well. I'm removing references to that and will put something in when I think of a better phrase. jayinbmore 19:10, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Game missing

Where's Green Rouge?

Army Men 3D is also missing from "The Series" heading.

Trivia Question

Ok, looking at the last item in the trivia section it mentions Colonel Grimm saluting Sarge first in RTS and Sarge returning the salute, going on to mention that should be in the reverse order. My question is should it actually be in the reverse order? As Grimm outranks Sarge, I'd normally agree. But I was pretty certain I knew of a real world instance in which a higher officer saluted someone of a lower rank. That being someone who has one the Medal of Honor. So I looked up the article to confirm whether I was remembering things correctly. If you look under the Authorities and privileges section of the article, among other items you get the following paragraph:

The Medal of Honor confers special privileges on its recipients both by tradition and by law. By tradition, all other soldiers, sailors, and airmen, even higher-ranking officers all the way up to the President of the United States, initiate the salute. By law, awardees have several benefits:

Look at the second sentence. Traditionally recipients of the Medal of Honor are saluted first and they get to return the salute, even if they are out ranked. From the games we know a lot about Sarge's actions. But what we don't know is if there is a Green Army version of the Medal of Honor which has the same tradition. If so, Grimm would be more likely to salute Sarge first. -annonymous 7/10/06

Rename

I think we should rename this to "Army Men (Game)". Right now if you search for Army men you go to the article about the toy soldiers and if you search Army Men you go to the article about the game and the only differences between these two articles is that the m is capitilized.--Taida 02:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

What about Army Men (series)? Because the article is about the series, shouldn't this be the name? 199.224.118.64 17:49, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea how to actually implement the changes, (Wiki noob ^_^) but my solution would be to change the article, Army Men (series) to Army Men (game series). Kelpie K 04:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Gameplay

There needs to be more discussion of gameplay. Are the games real-time or turn-based? Etc. SharkD 01:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm reprinting my comment from army men (toy).

In the article, it says that 3DO made a series of "real-time strategy" games. I've played almost every single army men game, and I wouldn't call ANY of the games real-time strategy... but then again, I can't think of what type they are at all... any one got any suggestions? Maybe action-strategy? You control almost exclusively "Sarge", so would it be an action-RPG? Help me out here and we can change it.

I wouldn't call it real-time STRATEGY, now that I think about it, but it definitely is a real-time game. Maybe then, a real-time action game? It's definitely a unique game series, so it's hard to classify. Kelpie K 04:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

The Series

Who deleted all my cleanup work on The Series? It made it easier to read as the games were arranged by release date wheras now (and before my cleanup) there is a cluster of games below Army Men: Sarge's War. --Indie.Bones 11:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Indie.Bones

Clean Up

I fixed the "Sarge's War" section a bit. I don't think that "crackhead," gratuitous use of swear words, or poorly done detailed descriptions of the weapons were needed. I left some, but I'll take it out if there aren't objections. Sean ODuibher (talk) 03:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Metal Weapons?

I have Army Men RTS and none of the toy soldiers had metal weapons, why is it listed in the article under criticism? Davidac18643 (talk) 15:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Reply to Above

It is not necessarily referring to the fact that the guns are metal, but that they are of a metallic color, as opposed to the standard green, plastic looking weapons in the other games.

Also, why are several Army Men RTS vehicles being left out of the vehicle list? The dumptruck and bulldozer are both omitted from the list. Mbacon (talk) 23:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Air Attack

Can anyone tell me if AA: Air Tactics for PC and AA: Air Attack for N64 are the same game? Thank you.
