Bullshit, just because you dont play games, doesnt mean everyone else doesnt. Medal of Honor is a multi-million seller with every release in the series, it gets a lot of publicity. It has nothing to do with the media. The army isnt banning the game, they just arent allowing its sale on military bases. Your making a big deal out of nothing.

There are 80 million PS3 and 360's out there (and countless gaming PC's), and games are now just as big and profitable as movies. You have to expect things like this. The military is doing it out of respect for soldiers, and families of fallen/injured soldiers, not hatred of a game.

this is nothing new... at Lackland AFB (where the Air Force's Basic Training happens) about 10 years ago the Wing Commander's wife went into the BX, saw several new Airmen looking at Playboys and the like, complained and now at Lackland there are no "adult" magazines...

they're not BANNED, just not sold. actually at every other BX I've been to (save deployed exchanges) they're sold.

AAFES is fucking stupid... they're crooks, and don't listen to what the troops that they support want... they listen to what the dependent wives and generals think is best for us.

Here, here Ebb!!
This is just a damn game. If you play video games, and shooters are your thing you'll probably at least rent this one. No gamer that I have ever known or played against is not going to play the game because one of the multiplayer teams is Taliban. They are not thinking, "Hey I'm Taliban and just killed an American soldier"... they are thinking, "Hey I just killed that little shit-talking 5th grader that keeps noob-tubin and knifin me in the back"...

If you play COD MW2, you have 3 teams that you could end up on, Task Force 141 (American kick ass soldiers), Spetznaz (damn Ruskies) or OPFOR (Opposing Forces, but come on and look at them, they are terrorists flashback to Black Hawk Down)... I know most of the time I play, I dont even realize which team I'm on til I kill or get killed by the other side, once again I dont hate being OPFOR because it lets me school that little shit-talker as easy as if I was the kitted-out, cool-looking TF 141 guys.

If you dont like the game, dont play the game, dont watch someone play the game, dont watch the trailers, dont look at it on the computer, dont Gamefly it... voice your opinion about how you dont like or approve of it, thats fine sinceit is your constitutional right but dont make me have to drive across town and fight a mob of people to buy it when I drive right past the damn BX on my way home...

Just an opinion, and we all know what they say about those...
