I thought the point in gaming is to do what otherwise couldn't . . . who's the jerk that . . .

Monopoly should be banned too. London IS NOT FOR SALE!

Without doubt you try hard to not get what I say.

"Rape simulator", anyone? I am sure there is a market for it. It allows us to do what otherwise couldn't.

If it stops a rapist from actually going through with a rape....

So why there isn't a rape simulator yet?

That's the question we all should be asking ourselves if the market for that was so lucrative.

The answer to that is the key to this whole debate.

Furthermore the British minister assumed that if you played Taliban in game you would become terrorist. Shouldn't the opposite is also true that if you played British Forces you would also become a British soldier.

And to take that logic to other games:
You would be a RL international soccer player or a coach if you played FIFA world cup
You would be a RL tycoon when you played Monopoly
You would be a RL tank crew or tank commander when you played Steel Beast
You would be a RL pilot when you played any flight simulator
You would be a RL illegal street racer when you played street racing game.
You would be a RL general when you played Hearts of Iron
You would be a RL mobster or gang member if you played Mafia
And you would be a RL Mario or Luigi when you played Mario games
etc

or is it?

Any WWII games that made Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia playable should also be banned because they promoted fascism and communism. Because ideology never gets obsolete though the regime may have fallen.

Red orchestra 1/2 BANNED.
IL-2 Sturmovik Banned
Tiger Vs T34 banned
etc

THE TRUTH IS THE GAME GIVES CREDIT TO THE ALLIES FORCES. Let's face it the main appeal of MOH are the Allies forces.
Would anyone buy the game had there been only the Taliban as the sole playable faction?!
They must have been mad if they did!

The Taliban as playable is just to close the gap that human players could cover to act as a capable opponent in multi player and to serve as alternative to break the monotony(to avoid boredom).

Rape simulators? That'll be Japan then, already done, already done.

Honestly though, like Dowly says, this thing has been going on for ages just under a different name, insurgents, terrorists. Heck, look at Counter-Strike.

yes, all these controversies are silly.

It is perfectly acceptable to play as a waffen SS kampfgruppe commander mowing down allied troops in WW2, but not as an insurgent leader mowing down allied troops in 2010.

NATO vs. Taliban isn't so bad, anyone remember the Kursk or Ponyri maps in Call of Duty? What side are we rooting for there?!

Storm in a tea cup. Don't like it then don't buy it as is my intention.
