    i just read a story in the newspaper about the controversy about the new modern warfare, now i know this is pretty regular nowadays but i mean the COD airport level drama really didnt phase me but in the new medal of honour the entire campaign is set around u being an islamist extremist, i dont know about u guys but i think thats kinda crossing the line, i mean people are dying in afghanistan everyday and to make a game that glorifies the terrorist cause seems a little too far for me, wadda u guys think?

    In every war-based FPS with an online component, someone's always going to have to play 'the enemy', be they aliens, nazis, or random terrorists.

    You don't by any chance regularly watch Fox news do you?

    You only play as the Taliban in the multiplayer by the way. You do the same thing in MW. They just haven't named the terrorist group. You realise there are also Afghanistan levels in MW2 which no one seems to complain about.

    Wait, does one actually get to be a Taliban fighter in the singleplayer campaign or is this about multiplayer where one side is called the Taliban?

    It was just a multiplayer team not a campaign unless they just changed it. 
     
    And I'm sure there are people in the military that'll play this game.

    It doesn't glorify our enemies, they're just there to act as a counter to the Coalition in multiplayer. It isn't like they have a campaign in which you're a Taliban soldier setting up IEDs or something. Either way, we have had this conversation 1,000,000,000 times.

    Also I'm pretty sure no one gets mad when you play a WWII game in the Pacific on August 6th.
