Gamers Target U.S. Troops in Chinese Military ‘Shooter’

[Murkat]

Pretty sure you can play as the Chinese against the U.S. in Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. I don't see a news report about that. :colbert:

Not that there even should be, it's just a game after all. Pretending it "might mislead Chinese trainees into thinking USA is their future enemy" is just bullshit.

You can play as Germany in RTCW: Enemy Territory. I recall a few people (i.e. Fox News and other :911: news stations) freaking out about that.

[fippe]

imo the game looks somewhat better than AA, is there any gameplay available?

also I don't give a shit what those guys on the screen supposedly are, I'll kill virtual americans/chinamen/middle-easterns/whatever just because it's a game.

Hell you can play as the Wermacht and go through an entire campaign in Company of Heroes. The German campaigns were some of the better ones too, but you'd think people would have flipped their shits once they realized there was a game that had you [i]commanding[/i] the "Nazis" throughout a whole military campaign.

[Raidyr]

This is sick, I can't believe they would make a video game that entails killing US servicemen. What kind of backwards culture could enjoy something like that?
Man I am so pissed. Gonna blow off some steam playing Battlefield 2, or Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Got it on the cheap the other day.

Hated the voice acting though. They spoke so unusually poetically, kind of. Felt too unreal. Their tanks are fucking awesome though.

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM?

Now that is the biggest hypocritical comment I have ever seen. You kill russians, you kill the chinese, you kill the germans and occasionally even fucking south americans every day in FPS games. Now that US soldiers are the ones being shot at, it is wrong. What is the logic in this.

[C.C]

Not to mention Men Of War and O.F's "Red Hammer Campaign"

[Treybuchet]

a++ work guys, not realizing that Raidyr's post was satirical.

[Garmr89]

I can play as a Russian killing Americans in ArmA II, whats the point of this article?

[RaptorBlackz]

Would be nice to shoot some Americans and claim dominant master race for something new.

[doonbugie2]

I already kill american swine in Arma and project reality.

Since a questionable amount of you seem to not get this post, I'll spell it out for you nice and easy.

The Chinese are a faction opposing the US in both of those games. It was a joke.

I kill american pigs in Hearts of Iron just because I can.

Only in China do they train troops with videogames.

ARMA clone from the makers of ARMA but meant for and used by the military.

[Cheltastic]

It's got pretty nice graphics. I also agree with some people here. Those "masked men" represent Middle Eastern people. I think the US should stop whining about it, like they do with everything.

It's how you speak German.

[QUOTE=CharadesV2;29901549]I'm American and I really don't care if we are the bad guys in some video games.

We do it to Russia and China all the time.[/QUOTE]

...The only game with China being an enemy is Fallout. Its always fucking Russia!

Isn't used to train troops. There actually isn't civilian versions of the software used to train troops.

AA was made by a dev company hired by the US Army to create a game that showed the actual training methods they used for their troops. It was never used for a recruitment tool because its never show in recruitment stations. Yeah sure things plastered with "American Army" can be construed as recruitment but it was to follow up the success of local mod that was made by ex-military men.

Seriously the best game ever

[Tunak Mk. II]

This game looks kinda lame. I only saw one gun and the AI looked pretty shitty. I don't know why everyone is throwing such a fit over it.

[Ogopogo]

[QUOTE=doonbugie2;29909032]I already kill american swine in Arma and project reality.[/QUOTE]

And you will notice in that game, most modern military uniforms look the same.

[sniperkitty]

[QUOTE=Sanius;29899829]I love how people in this thread think that simulated murder is okay as long as it's not backed by a government (America's Army is okay because America is #1). It makes my dick so hard.[/QUOTE]

So you're pretty much saying FPS games are not ok?

[Miya]

[QUOTE=Jimpy;29899286]I'm pretty sure the enemies in all the AA games were terrorists or masked men. This is a government sponsored game for military recruiting purposes that is "KILL THE AMERICANS FOR HIGH SCORE MAKE YOU NUMBER ONE PLAYA AND SOLDIER".[/QUOTE]

america's army was Made by the US army for glorifying killing arabs and terrorists and crap like that.

This game was made by a random company and PLA for glorifying killing Americans.

Not really that big of a diffrence
