<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.

Huray for consoring

thats crazy its just a game

wow thats stupid it a damngame

Good they should ban it....first of all its an awful fps and its content is unethical. For all u people sayin its jus a video game bs take into a deeper perspective not from the ****ing comfort of your couch. I am an avid gamer myself and have played most of the call of duty series and I can say it is gory and bloody but never takes it to the personal extreme MoH does. Just like in MoH in mw2 the no russian mission was uneccessary and ****ing pointless and promoted terrorism but it played a very small part in the game. I am from the U.S and its really sad to see all our brave troops dieing in afghanistan every ****ing day, so i find it inappropriate for a game to take it to the level MoH does. The last things U.S needs is terrorists within their own country.

I see where your trying to go with this and i agree with it but hey, people have their opinions.

Naturally, personally I would play any game if it was fun no matter who you played at, within logical reason. Everyone has their opinions and it's why this is one of the most discussed news threads in the section.

dont say its going to be band in the uk i just getting the game

too bad!!!!
