Fact x Importance.
Purveyors of filthy propaganda, Fox News, are super pissed at EA thanks to Medal of Honor‘s multiplayer mode which will literally let you be the Taliban. The mode, which does sound a tad sketch to be honest, has you shooting US troops which is absolutely not on. They are still fine with you killing the Chinese and, you know, Mexicans though.
Their extended report feature dragged in the families of dead troops. Including the mother of one who said “Right now, we’re going into a really, really, bad time in Afghanistan. We’ve just come off of the worst month of casualties in the whole war. This game is going to be released in October, so families that are burying their children are going to be seeing this… It’s disrespectful.â€
EA have yet to say if the mode will involve any shooting or if it’s just a tedious ten-year campaign of putting bombs down and running away. Either way we’re not arsed. Medal of Honor is going to be completely overshadowed by Tom Clancy’s next Mexican Ninja sim anyway, and Fox have probably just increased pre-orders of MoH by 3000%.
