(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am refusing to play MoH 2010 because it makes a game out of an ongoing war. 3,000 people were blown up on September 11th, and over 5,000 American soldiers have died in the middle east since that date. That's over 8,000 American lives lost, all because these extremist muslims want to put our daughters and mothers and sisters in a burka. They want us to stop eating bacon. They want to bury our women in the sand and throw stones at them until they die! As I understand it, Britain just reached the 1,000 mark on its death toll in the middle east. I don't even know about the rest of NATO!

I completely refuse to support this, which makes a game out of this ongoing conflict.

Six U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, yesterday. Did you hear about that? I suppose their little brothers want to pick up a copy of MoH. Or maybe they're just a little busy morning the death of six of the best young men our nation has to offer, as throwbacks who are too afraid to stand up for their country think its all one big video game!

I think you should try to desensitize a bit. It's a video game. If we cared about every little character in games, how far do you think any action games would come?

Do you play Grand Theft Auto? Surely, it's located in Vice City or Liberty City, but don't you think crime happens a lot that involves murder in real life, too? On a regular basis? I understand that it doesn't happen on the same unrealistic scale as GTA, but in big cities, things like that do happen.

My grandfather was killed in WW2. Does every WW2 game offend me? No. I know that I along with anyone else who has a reason to be offended by it (including a good... religion) has a reason to, but the fact is, you can't throw a little fit about it just because someone's marketing off of it. Think about movies and TV? All those war shows and movies? Yeah... they use some ongoing conflicts as well.

Either way, I hate to tell you, but MoH surely has a big enough audience to not grieve over one loss. Your boycotting is unreasonable and pretty much insignificant.

Quit bitching all that happened years ago people have moved on, if you dont want to play the game DONT, but stop blaming it on other people/religions.

i get what your saying but don't forget how many people died in vietnam they make games outa that.and don't forget about WWII where millions of jews were exterminated and they made cod WAW.

You guys really need to read up on your history. The Cold War was not an actual war and has no veterans, and the Holocaust was not part of WWII. It was domestic--it was an event within Nazi Germany.

I really don't see the issue, as I'm sure if video games had existed during WWII, we would've had Nazi and Jap killing simulators.

Supposably it is based of several stories from several troops over there and is showing support and spreading their stories around. I saw this on a video on the 360 dashboard. Not sure if I heard it right, but this is just like saying you won't buy any war game out there which is really what makes up most consoles now days.

It isn't really offending the troops nor is it dishonoring them, actually many soldiers like playing these games. It really depends on your view I guess. I don't support the war but that is a whole different topic. I'm not really sure how to describe it, these situations definitely depend on your view, and for 99% of most people they stick with their view when it comes to things like this.

I wouldn't word everything like that, but was going to add about movies and other games like GTA: IV, same concept. What Jesse says is very true!
