Military Personnel Weigh In On Being Taliban In Medal of Honor
SSDNINJA writes "This is a feature from gamrFeed that interviews nine US service members about playing as the Taliban in the upcoming Medal of Honor. One soldier states that games like MoH and Call of Duty are 'profiteering from war.' Another says, 'Honestly, I don't really see what the whole fuss is about. It's a game, and just like in Call of Duty, you don't really care about what side you're taking, just as long as you win. I don't think anyone cares if you're part of the Rangers or Spetznaz, as long as you win.' An excellent and interesting read."
something like "When our youth is playing "Swordsofthe Faithful"; it really tweaks my turban when they play the infidel 10th Army Division soldier... I mean, cmon, it really takes the bang out of suicide vest boys who are giving their lives for our cause....."
Those soldiers would a lot more angry if they knew about the license fees paid to the Taliban to use their logo, names and likeness.
But the gameplay would suffer if it weren't an officially licensed Taliban product.
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
My sister had a Nazi Barbie, and it was her favorite toy. She always said playing with that doll was a real gas.
More likely digging foxholes. Trenches involve sharing and that's a socialist principle.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
If games about frolicking through Candy Land killing unicorns sold millions of copies every time an expansion came out, you'd see just as many of those types of games, guaranteed.
Classic game, I have such fond memories of it as a 6 year old. I look forward to a remake that involves both more frolicking and more unicorn killing.
