How much contraversy do you think Medal of Honor 2010 will get?

Now I think that all Medal of Honor fans know about the whole deal with playing as the Taliban in mulliplayer mode. If not, then you've just found out. Do you think there should be a big deal made from this fact, and do you think it is right or wrong for EA to have this in their game?How much contraversy do you think Medal of Honor 2010 will get?
It isnt an issue any more since they took it out. MOre information here :

They should have done like Infinity Ward did with Modern Warfare 2 and the airport mission, specifically by giving players the option to display the Taliban side as “Taliban” or “Opposing Force”. It would be very simple, where upon installing the game on your system, the game informs you that it may contain offensive content online and give you the option to display the Taliban force as “Taliban” or “Opposing Force”. If the player selects “Yes”, then the game simply flags the “Taliban” name display to be displayed as “Opposing Force” on their client end, and if they select “No”, then it remains “Taliban”. Also, all players who select “Yes” will see all Taliban-side players displayed as “Opposing Force”. It’s just a simple graphical data flag checked yes or no. That would be the ideal response from EA to the complaints.



I bet none of the “grieving widows and families of fallen soldiers” were even planning on buying the game anyway, so ultimately it wouldn't have even affected them. They just wanted to impose their beliefs on everyone else, regardless of what anyone else wanted.How much contraversy do you think Medal of Honor 2010 will get?
As a former army ranger from back in the day of desert storm I say this is bullshit. Its bullshit what EA did and its bullshit what citizens did.



EA has no conviction, no backbone and cracked for fear of hurting sales.



The american people who complained so much about this are even worse because they decided they love americas freedom so much they would ***** until they took something away from someone else. Kind of counter active to the whole freedom thing. But then again most americans love their freedom when it comes to them getting what they want, but soon as they dont like something then they dont think you should have it.



Yes I know, this really isnt a big deal. Its just a title in a video game. But it is a big deal because its the fact something was changed because people didnt like it, and that folks is wrong. If EA wanted the taliban in there then they should have been allowed to without reprisal. If people didnt like it then in a perfect world they would have said "Well I dont agree. But its just a video game. I dont like it so I wont buy the game but anyone else should be free to decide if they want to play it or not" But sadly that isnt the real world, the real world is full of ******* morons who want to hate, *****, complain and try to take apart anything they dont agree with and dont give a **** what the other person thinks instead of just accepting it and moving.



Lets face facts. Americans like the people who complained are ******* idiots. They are the definition of bad americans because they are pro america, pro military, pro everything red, white and blue to the point where they cant think for themselves and kneejerk defend anything considered offensive to this country.



They dont give a **** that they think its ok in the game for people to play americans killing taliban, but they think its wrong to play as taliban killing americans. That logic makes no sense to me. How come they dont ***** about you being able to play as a nazi or a japanese guy from a WW2 game online? Being a nazi is fine, but being taliban is just evil and wrong and disrespectful to the men and women of this country great and glorious god fearing righteous and most wonderful nation in this entire universe!......bullshit. And most of all, its just a video game. If you dont like it then dont buy it.



So you should be able to play as the taliban. You can play as a nazi in other games. Either its all ok or none of its ok.



So **** you, you closed minded dipshits that wanted it removed from the game. You need to grow up and learn to accept you wont things in this life and if your bitching about a video game so much then you need to learn to do something constructive with your time. Freedom is not telling others that they shouldnt be playing as someone in a video game, thats the opposite of freedom.



And **** you EA for not having the balls to stand by your conviction. I would have had more respect if they stood up in the middle of all this controversy and said "Look folks. We know your upset but this is just a video game, and its our video game. Were going to make the game we want to make. We dont expect you to agree with us but atleast realize we have as much right to make this game as you do to not like it. We will sell it and if you dont want to play it for the content then thats fine. We wont tell you your wrong for not buying it if you wont tell us were wrong for making it because thats what america is. The ability to make choices. We chose to make this game and you can chose not to play it".



And **** the families of the fallen who bitched and complained. Your honoring the memory of your dead soldier by trying to take away a right to free speech and censoring something while that solider was supposedly "fighting for freedom"? Your a disgrace to that soldier. Besides, what about the families of people in the taliban? How come they dont have a say? Arent they in the same boat by losing a family memember to some conflict they werent even personally involved in? Oh thats right, no one cares what they think because no one gives a **** about them because they are brown people from another country that doesnt agree with us.



So basically we all lose because we let the complainers win. We lose because a company compromised themselves in the face of those complainers and thus set back the ability for game developers to try riskier content and do what they want in the future. No one wins here.



Either its all ok or none of its ok
Yeah your a little late with this since EA has already announced they took that out of the game. Seems like a soft move to me but whatever. Im not getting that game anyway.How much contraversy do you think Medal of Honor 2010 will get?
Well, EA just made a last-minute change to remove the Taliban so not a whole lot..
