At the same time, most of those games either deal with past historical conflicts, or fictional ones. The war in Afghanistan is as real as it gets, and is at its bloodiest stage in years. I can certainly understand why the military wouldn't want it on base.
Btw, someone help me out here...wasn’t there a game a while back that let you play a terrorist, and kill civvies in a Russian airport or something?
Too stupid for words.
For those not familiar with first person shooters, let me explain. The single player campaign of MOH is strictly told from the American point of view with players assuming the roles of multiple characters, all of whom play a role in Operation Enduring Freedom.
Multiplayer however REQUIRES that players be divided into teams. Guess what, the good guys need someone to shoot at, so half of the players in a multiplayer game are assigned (for that match) to the enemy team. The other solution would be to have Army Rangers killing each other, but that would just reek of stupidity and PC.
How many soldiers over there were playing the game? If they didn’t have a problem with it, why should I.
That's OK, I'm sure Amazon.com will appreciate all the extra business.
Prohibition was pushed by decidedly UN-AMERICAN progressives, and it was WRONG.
"Banning" adult magazines, video games, or WHATEVER LEGAL products from purchase by those that are willing to lay down their lives so that we may be free to make our own free choices in a FREE society is WRONG.
