that was the name i was looking for it just sliped my mind there for a sec, anyway Raul shares some ligth on what hapened in NV when the bombs feel i know he was in Mexico at the time and it's probably a screw up in the story has there was no way he could see mr. house lasers and defences taking out the missiles incoming to NV if he was in Mexico city but alas he tells us the story of howit hapened

the wiki says the most of the wareads was delivered by bombers

Ahhh dont you just love Fallout? :fallout:

we allready know chinese had nuclear subs near the US coast when the boms where launched the shi where decendent of a chinise sub crue

No I didnt know that, why don't we ask one of the devs

well you probably diden't played the original FO's

This is a very sad topic indeed :sadvaultboy:

Everyone nuked everyone!

Want proof the chinese had some part in it just look up http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Shi Fallout 2, Richardson also talks about how "The damn Reds Launched first."

China invaded Alaska which started a war between China and USA. USA eventually drove China out of Alaska and started to invade china itself all the way to the Yangtze River. Something happened and everyone let their nukes fly, "Game Over."

Don't need a damn nuke that says "Made in China" to know that China had something to do with it.

"The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons as always, purely human ones." Fallout 2 intro.

Usually, if you'rein a bomber, and you nuked an entire nation, you don't need to worry about using parachutes. Unless you run out of fuel, but that's not my point.

Bombers would not have been the way that the Nuclear war was executed.

ICBM (Intercontinental ballistic missiles) was the main way that the world ended. Land based ICBM as well as subs that are able to launch nuclear war heads.

Fallout 3 is full of ICBM Silos. There are also a number of mentions of them in the other Fallout Games.

If they actually had in game proof of Chinese bombardment which in the eyes of the real China could paint China in a bad light. The real life nation of China would probably pressure the game makers to remove it. Just like the how China pressured MGM to change everything about the newest Red Dawn movie that is suppose to come out this year, and was suppose to have China as the invaders. Due to "outside pressure" i.e. China, the movie company has to digitally change all the uniforms, and propaganda posters to North Korean.

Fallout One Intro

War. War never changes. The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from it lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into and economic superpower, but war never changes. In the 21st century war was still waged for the resources that could be acquired; only this time the spoils of war were also its weapons, petroleum and uranium. For these resources China would invade Alaska. The US would annex Canada and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarrelling bickering nation states bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth. In 2077 the storm of World War had come again. In two brief hours most of the planet was reduced to cinders and from the ashes of nuclear devastation a new civilization would struggle to arise.

Fallout Two Intro

War. War never changes. The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted; too many humans and not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons as always, purely human ones. The Earth was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing, an atomic spark struck by human hands quickly raged out of control. Spears of Nuclear fire rained down from the sky. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the Earth. A quiet darkness fell across the planet lasting many years. Few survived the devastation.

Fallout 3 Intro

War. War never changes, since the dawn of human kind when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything from God to justice to simple psychotic rage. In the year 2077 after millennia of armed conflict the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation but it was not as sum had predicted “the end of the world.” Instead the apocalypse was simply the prologue of another bloody chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the world but war, war never changes.

We arn't meant to know who started the Great War and I really don't care. If Bethesda ever came alone and said Country X started the war I would be pissed. Bad Enought they tried to say Aliens may have had something to do with it :stare:

So I guess the quest where are acting as a chinese spy to blow up a submarine in Point Lookout or Operation Anchorage in Fallout 3 doesn't count as clues to the Chinese being the enemy. <_<

Nuclear war... "the only way to win, is to not play".

The truth?
After seeing the world falling apart, Australia started mining all of our uranium sources, 23% of the worlds total.
We created many nukes, hidden away in bunkers in our vast continent where the possibilities of being found were virtually none.We built underground cities, similar to vaults but on a much larger scale.
After watching China's invasion of America, and then America's retalliation; invading china, we decided the only way we could survive as a nation was to take out the competition.
We launched the first missiles, destroying America, China and the rest of the world.
