<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.

see unlike you I don't need to lie to try and boost internet ego or real life ego for that matter, just remember this discussion started due to you not being intelligent enough to understand the meaning of the word racist

And yet Modern Warfare 2 with No Russian was allowed?! If it offends you, don't buy it . I bet this guy is 50-something and has never played a video game in his life.

wow this is really bad

why'd they ban it? makes no sense.

There's much worse **** on TV, f*cking idiots. When they eventually ban gaming(will happen eventually, guaranteed) they'll realise it's actually their laws and hypocrisies f*cking the world up, not some God-damn game.

P.S. I might buy it now and play it 24/7 just to prove a point.

Crazy people exaggerating things FTL !

its a game god damn:p

Yeah its a game, but do you really want to be playing for what many people in the UK army and US army are die-ing for.

People take things too serious these days.. its a game, nothing more nothing less..
