I think its because MW2's singleplayer is fictional. Where as that afgan tour game was supposed to be historically accurate. I suppose this is true, still, it mirror's the present conflict to a very similar degree. Yeah for sure, I'm just trying to find a logical conclusion. It doesn't affect me what so ever. |

By 'that Afghan game' I assume you are talking about the game Konami pulled, which was not only set in a real and current conflict (Iraq) but based on a particular 'battle', Fallujah? Some vets (or more likely some busy bodies who have heard of) that particular fight objected to it. I haven't heard of any Afghan games that have been cancelled? |

I thought it was Afghanistan but it could have been Iraq. Either way yes, that was it. I don't really see how there is a huge gaping difference between setting a modern war game in Afghanistan or Iraq in general and having it take place during a particular battle. Medal of Honor might use real battle settings, we have no idea, and no one seems to care. I don't care either, about either, I just see it as somewhat hypocritical. |

.....POINT BEING, my video game idea is full of win. Okay. This. :D Wasn't there a game called 'Vietcong'? I seem to remember it wasn't well received... |

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38740099?GT1=43001 EA's upcoming "Medal of Honor" shooter series reboot lets gamers play as allied or oppositional forces in a contemporary war theater. The allies in this case are U.S. Army Rangers. The theater is Afghanistan. And so the opposition, not surprisingly, is the Taliban. |

I've got a great idea - why not just ban guns over the world? :lol: Melt 'em all down and we can start throwing rocks at one another again. First side to run out of hand-thrown non-metallic projectiles is the one that has to pick up the rubbish and turn out the lights before going home... |

http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/10/01/5214301-ea-dumps-taliban-player-mode-from-medal-of-honor Citing feedback from "friends and families of fallen soldiers," Electronic Arts said it would remove the Taliban name from its new "Medal of Honor" game's multiplayer mode. Instead, that player selection would be called "Opposing Force." |

And yet the only thing they changed was the name, no textures or models have been altered. Frankly I'm disgusted with the reaction to this "accurate" portrayal (ie. the name) of the enemy players in the game. http://kotaku.com/5653154/medal-of-honor-maker-defends-taliban-renaming-addresses-free-speech-concerns?skyline=true&s=i What I find interesting about this article is that the games creators don't really have steam for an argument about their free speech being suppressed. What they don't seem to realize is that the right to free speech is somewhat of a double edged sword: people also have the right not to listen to you (ie. not buy your game). |
