I just heard on the local news that like the title says, they banned MOH in our canadian military stores because of the Taliban stuff. This is getting out of hand.

Yes because people who kill other people for a living can't make video gaming decisions for themselves, you know they may not be able to cope with the gaming experience....

"dammit soldier you cannot play that game, you cannot cope with the distress caused bu the fact that in multiplayer, half the time you have to play as the bad guys. Now pick up your gun and go shoot those guys on that hill in the head, while you at it go clear up what is left of your best friend in the shellhole over there"

The people who are outraged by this are the same ones who said Elvis should be banned for being overtly sexual onstage, rock and roll should be banned because it corrupts the youth, etc etc..

Don't forget to defend Burger Town.

CANADA has MILITARY stores?
I was shocked to, don't worry.

OT: I love how stupid the higher ups in the military are. It actually brings me joy when people react so strongly to such a minor detail in a game.

Do not question the military might of the Terrible Tundra. Americans live in a constant state of fear knowing that all hell could be unleashed within one hour if we piss off the sleeping giant in the north...

Also, last I checked they have some pretty spectacular counter-terrorist teams that have helped out in some very serious situations (don't recall exactly, but I think there was an Olympics where a bunch of people got taken hostage, rescued by spectral Rainbow Six badasses and were extradited to Canada for no particular reason before being sent home the the states).

OT - STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! I hate the way people overreact to video games!

When I think Canada, I think terrible opression of free-speech. /joke

On a serious note: Why is humanity so infuriatingly stupid?

Because we're brought up in a society where people are coddled and taught to fear anything that isn't covered in bubble wrap and painted in rainbow colours.

Poor old Dice...

Infinity Ward can have terrorists shooting up a fucking airport in interactive first person and Dice can't have a game because the baddies are Taliban.

Sigh.

I wonder if people are freaking out about this because the game's not trying to masquerade as a fictional war and is actually about current events? Think about it, nobody cares when games let you play as the nazi's, and the Modern Warfare series mostly gets away with it* because it's set in fictional wars that are unlikely to happen, despite the similar Middle-Easterns-are-bad-guys themes.

[small]*I say mostly because they still get their fair share of controversy, lest we forget about "No Russian".[/small]

Yea, Canadian special forces are scary stuff. They go by the acronym E.A.T.B.A.L.L.S., or Elite Anti-Terrorist Beaver Assault Legion and Liquidation Squad. And they can really mess up your day.
