"that game is fucked in so many ways.... "
Well MoH has always been second best to CoD from what I remember of its previous games.
Anyway don't really give a shit about the military stores, that just sounds stupid (for those running the military that sounds about right), what next court marshal offenses of soldiers for playing it while in duty? They better not be seen playing and taking sides as the opposing force I guess Even though Taliban/ Al-Qaeda have been proven to be a CIA run and handled operations, so to me US soldiers are still playing on the same funded side tbh.
And the DoD (should still be called; the Department of WAR, -criminals alongside the Pentagon) |

its not simply worse the cod its totally fucked, i mean cod has some stupid things like killstreak rewards. but moha is totally ridiculous, there is like a 1 yard blast radius for rpgs, which are supposed to be for long range sniping?!
you can shoot someone 5 feet in front of you with an m203. the animations suck. they use a class system with 3! classes.
i dont know what the game designer (singular) was smoking when he came up with that but it must have been great shit.
that last soldier of fortune was better then this. |

what about Nazis and families of fallen solders in ww2? How about the first american war north vs south? Is having a "southern" side in games like "North&South" banned? How come all of those ww1/ww2 games are not offensive to families of fallen soldiers? Or perhaps earlier Middle East wars? No one died there? Vietnam anyone? Is being Vietnamese offensive to DoD also?
bunch of B$, that's what all this is about... |

It's all about fear of the current enemy, the US does need an enemy at all times, otherwise it will crumble apart, since warfare is the primary source of income. They do no care about "fallen" enemies, since these no longer force any threat, and thus no longer an item of income.
It's also about the fact that games/media are NOT allowed to spread any good things about enemies, people may not get focused on the fact that "the others" are fathers too, fighting for the future of their children.
"Whoever wins a war will always be remembered as the saviors of our souls, those that lose are bound to be portrayed as evil till eternity, even if reality might quite well be the contrary"... |
