...Wait, it's still only in the multiplayer, right? They didn't add some other part to the single player, right? Cause I don't see them banning CoD for the OpFor or No Russian.

[QUOTE=HolyCrusade;24279256]I guess members of the Taliban don't have families.[/QUOTE] This is my biggest annoyance that I see in America. Everyone's like "YOU FUCKIN TERRORISTS KILLED MY FAMILY'S MEMBERS, YOU SAVAGES", but they don't even acknowledge that the Taliban or the insurgents have families too. It's not like the Taliban and the insurgents are robots programmed to only fight or something.
Seems like he can't accept that there are two sides to war. Also, they didn't do anything when Gaz took one to the head in COD 4 :colbert:

Everyone, after a couple of [B]years[/B]. You're demanding this instantly from the families who've lost their loved ones. Of course they'll acknowledge that fact eventually, just don't force them to do it while they're still mourning just so you can call yourself unbiased.
Come on. Did they call for Day of Defeat or Call of Duty to get banned, because you play as Nazis in multiplayer? Did they call for Counter-Strike to get banned, because you play as terrorists? Face it. Even little kids know, someone has to pretend to be the bad guy. You can't play cops and robbers without robbers, you can't play cowboys and Indians without Indians, and you can't play Medal of Honor without the Taliban.

Ban spore because you can recreate lions and lions kill people ban bioshock 2 because you wear a diving suit and a diver once murdered people ban half life because scientists have murdered people ban TF2 because soldiers kill people ban lord of the rings because a ring once choked a child after he swallowed it

So it's okay to kill the Taliban but its bad to kill some Brits? As far as I can tell, this is war, and in war there are sides. Besides WW2, there was never a 'good' side so to say. I see them both as humans fighting for their beliefs... Or maybe for our side, they'll get thrown in prison if they let their conscience get the better of them. They're both humans, living, breathing, humans. Most probably have families as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm not for the Taliban... But not knowing the complete story of each side, can we really dehumanize them and assert ourselves as 'morally' superior? Has this Fox tit ever heard of a game called ArmA II? It's a military simulator that lets you play on all sides, OpFOR, BLUFOR, Takistanis, and Insurgents. What about 'No Russian' in Modern Warfare 2? I'm sure there are plenty of other examples as well. In my opinion, differing viewpoints adds depth to a story. Ever see Flags Of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima? Great movies. They go hand in hand, from the American POV and the Japanese POV. I'm all for playing as the other side for once.
I thought this was about the Congressional Medal of Honor. Crisis averted. In relation to the video game matter: GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELVES
Some of these people need to find where they lost their fucking balls and suck it up it's Digital Entertainment no different than what's been pushed out over the last 10 years, In fact, It's almost an exact clone of a few Recent games already released... MW2 had the Airport scene and everyone cried and the game came out and everyone shut the fuck up because, why? It was no big deal
This is retarded. There are plenty of games where you can play as the 'baddies'. For example, I didn't hear anyone complaining that you could play as the Germans in Company of Heroes...
"Hey, we send our children to die in a war far far away of us, and that's totally cool. Killing virtual characters on a video game? FUCK NO!"
It's player models killing player models. Sweet jesus motherfucking christ. This is why I hate the government.
Why don't they ban CS while they're at it...
Ah the Guardian, with such colorful front page titles such as "BAN THESE EVIL GAMES"
When will politicians realise that people don't need them telling them what's right and wrong, this is just so stupid. Instead of calling for more stuff to be sent to troops he's busy crying about those evil video games that cause our children to become mass murdering muslim fanatics.
