<font face="verdana" color="black"> At this moment in time, as I'm sure you know, NATO forces are fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Taliban are an armed force of terrorists that commit atrocities daily. They kill civilians almost for sport. They are waging a guerilla war against UK and USA forces. Bomb disposal teams are in a living hell, IED's are practically everywhere. Around 7,500 IED's were used in 2009 in Afghanistan.

United Kingdom Defence Secretary Liam Fox:


Medal Of Honor takes place in Helmand Province. This is the 'hot-point' of the Taliban. However, they can't bomb it since civilians are there as well. The war is tough and difficult. The people in the land are in terror of the Taliban and are murdered and abused by them. In Medal Of Honor Multiplayer (unsure about Single Player) you may play as the Taliban. This has caused outrage in the United Kingdom and some gamers living in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries have felt physically sick and couldn't move due to disgust after seeing the characters on screen. The Game is likely to be banned in the United Kingdom.

United Kingdom Defence Secretary Liam Fox:


Personally, I'll probably buy the game (if I can), however, I do see these points and while I believe that video games shouldn't be considered in terms of morality as reality I do understand and I'll probably only be slightly uncomfortable about killing United Kingdom Soldiers. However, in previous hit games such as the Call Of Duty series, you've been able to kill United States soldiers. These games haven't been banned in the USA.

To tell the truth, I hope that Medal Of Honor won't be banned in the UK. It's one of the biggest and greatest game series of all time and I'm excited that it's making a comeback. The United States Army is working directly with it, from a professional point of view it's had the best trailers for a video game yet. However, the Defence Secretary will have a lot of leeway and it's definitely possible that UK gamers won't see the game hit their shelves.

Inappropriate.

I think he said it should be banned
Not will

Also think it already been passed by the ratings board so it won't be banned in the UK.
Another case of people talking about something they not played.

that sucks for uk then

its obvious in most games u r fighting the taliban they just refuse to admit it

Honestly who cares.. Why does everyone have to be so sensitive about everything.

ok i see your point but the US is there too. not just the uk so the means the same thing to both sides... my thing is this countless amarican and british lives were lost during WW2 but how many WW2 games are there that were not banned in the uk.i mean the uk was the victim of countless bombing raids from the nazis but uk love W@W...

Thx for the info dude

You either made that statement to piss people off or you really believe that they deserve glory either way you are a cock

I could care less in my opinion. I just hope it doesn't have the same controls as MoH Airborne.
