Default Medal of Honor

Noticed a news story on this just now. Seems to be causing a bit of a fuss because it allows people to play as the Taliban and kill U.S. troops. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxGlJHHAkrA

And here's the actual trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaz7r...feature=search

Quite annoying when people start bleating on about banning video games, etc, because of their content. At the end of the day they aren't harming anyone, and they have an appropriate certificate, so what's the problem? It does look good. I hope nobody caves in and starts changing or deleting parts of it.

if you don't see a problem with games glamourising killing allied troops then there's no helping you ffs.
if you need a history lesson on why we are at war with these people then look at how many of our troops have been killed by these people.

I appreciate its a game but there are a lot of nutters in the world who might actually agree with killing our troops and sign up!

The people playing the game aren't harming anyone, so that's the end of the argument in my opinion. If it offends you then don't buy it and it won't bother you. Don't see why other people have the right to tell anyone what they can and can't play to be honest. There are plenty of things available to buy that I don't particularly like, so I don't buy them, but I wouldn't try and stop anyone else doing as they pleased.

I don't agree with our troops being out in Afghanistan anyway, even though I have respect for the people actually doing the job, so no history lesson would change that.

It's a bit close to the bone, having said that I would have probably bought it if it wasn't being released so close to MW Black ops

what about the ww2 games, how do you think the germans feel about having there familys shot, thats right they don't give a **** as its only a game, if everything offensive to someone was not allowed to be made or sold we'd have a pretty boring existance,

A huge amount of German games are censored, i would not be surprised of the WW2 titles released in Germany had the ***** changed into fluffy bunny rabbits

I love Bad Company 2, and MOH will be like getting a whole new set of multiplayer maps (plus a new campaign), for a reasonable cost = win!

Seams a shame that the amount of people playing BC2 has dropped off though, its a good solid game, i prefer it over MW2

I loved the campaign mode of BC2, prefered it to MW2 but I couldn't get into the multiplayer side of it so went back to MW2 for that.

The way buildings can be destroyed etc is a massive plus for BC2 over MW2, I would probably say the graphics in general are better

But it's ok for american developers to have U.S troops in their games (modern warfare 2) and go Derka-Derka bashing or beating the ruskies and Jap's??

but on the origional subject, if you don't like it, don't buy it.

dont forget folks that we support the taliban when the russians were fighting them, funny how a few years changes perspective huh

I really enjoy playing the multiplayer on BC2 I think its the best multi on the 360 since Battlefield 2 MC.

Its a game, if you don't like war or the subject matter then don't buy it....SIMPLES!!

Who will look at it as if you have just killed a Taliban/US Troop? Its all about killing the other team and getting points, who really cares what outfit they have on?
