Simply Put Canada was the most important nation after Britain and France. I would probably go as far to say they were more important than France. Canada won battles and held lines when all other nations could not, and Germans called Canadians “Storm Troppers” because they were one of the most feared among all the allies in ww1.

I’m not saying other countries didn’t do anything but Canada did far more than any other nation under Britain during the War.

So in my opinion i think it’s a must that Canada be added as a playable nation.

I agree, but they’ll probably be mixed into the British faction along with the black Australians

Canada had a population of just about 8 million before the start of ww1.  
We had over 630,000 soldiers serve. That’s a pretty sizable chunk of a population going to server another countries war for a country of only 8 million.

I’m not saying Canada didn’t play a big role in WWI. I’m saying that DICE should focus on getting France in the game before any other nation.

Do we really need every nation that has every participated in WW1 regardless of contribution?

Next people will want  
Russian  
Austrian  
Arabic  
Turkish  
Italian (maybe already implimited)  
Hungarian  
Australian  
And probably the other 100 countires that participated.

I don’t care who I play as. Just because a country wasn’t added in doesn’t mean it should be a must.

no but canada is more important than Australia, Italy, India, Even America. It was probably the 2nd most important country aside from Britain in ww1. Factions should be. Britain, Canada, Germany , Austria and Hungary. For the Western Front.

Haha more important that Germany? I don’t think so. Germany, Britain & France in no particular order, then an equal smattering of others on both sides of the battle.

Reread YOUR original post “Simply Put Canada was the most important nation after Britain and France”  
NOTHING about Allies being the limits.  
Yes I did read all of your posts and all sides had their feared soldier’s not just Canada.

Okay so? Just because your country wasn’t added doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Then what good would this do. Canada would be UK styled soilders with a Maple Leaf patch.  
It wasn’t like the Canadian Army wasn’t so different (visually) to the Uk Army. Just with a different accent maybe with a few patches.

The same goes for Austrailia (same thing with small differences).

No I didn’t, My mistake was reading your carefully crafted ambiguous bit of sentence. - Not a biggie.  
Your mistake was to get abusive to somebody that’s most likely your senior and if not then you are just an old grumpy b$%^#rd. 🙂

No they were not. After 1915, they wore the standard British pattern. The only difference was badges and patches. They did originally ship out in a Canadian pattern however. Just like the Ross rifles were replaced with British guns.
