Potential Easter Egg?

[The Bored Chairman]

I was playing with a friend yesterday when my German Officer said something (idle chatter) along the lines of "Americans always complain about Pioneer spam." I'm wondering if this is a reference to the first game.

And I thought when the Pgrens say "Capture point number 876641 captured" whenever they cap a point was a reference...

"My father fought the Czar at Tannenburg in '14!" WW1 refrence. The game is full of refrences if you listen closely.

Yeah, but the game reference kinda breaks the fourth wall if you know what I mean. Referencing history makes the game feel alive.

What the unit actually says is something like
"I want to go to the Western Front,those Americans are always complaining about Pioneer spam."

It's "Those Americans are always complainaing about Pioneer SMELL."

Pioneers being combat engineers do everything from clearing battlefield obstacles, building defenses and establishing headquarters to being maintenance engineers for vehicles, grease-monkies.

Naturally if you do all that kind of work, you're going to stink something fierce.

Does the quote make more sense now?

Why in gods name would the Germans say "pioneer spam" when "spamming" is an internet slang term that has only recently (relatively speaking) cropped up?

That's the point. Pioneer spam was a favourite tactic for German commanders in COH. Hence the Easter egg label.

I think you're all mishearing and mistaking the quote.

Because in the COH series, there are some odd/funny unit comments like 4th Wall breaking type, that is one example.

Here is the actual quote:
"Ostfront ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell...I'd give anything to fight the westerners.Those Americans are always complaining about pioneer spam."-Sounds like Panzer Grenadier.

Edit:Fixed a bit of junk with the quote so it is exact

Thanks, I've been searching for proof but couldn't find any (Didn't think to try Youtube as all the quote videos I've seen were pretty terrible).

I still think the audio is too butchered, sounds almost forced at the point you've indicated.

I'm convinced that they are saying "pioneer smell" it would just be silly to say "pioneer spam"
