Medal of Honor: first review of the "Taliban Simulator"!

[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

This is the first ever review of Medal of Honor, a new game from Electronic Artists. It is as addictive as a torrent of crack, even before you add the nude patch and the "hot coffee" mod.

It hasn't come out yet, but I have prayed to the Holy Spirit for guideance and the answer has been to review it anyway. Christians have a long tradition of being able to know the contents of media we have not watched or read, and we're getting so good at it that now time is no longer a factor.

Medal of Honor is the first game to have a system requirements including a beard, a camel, and a cave in the tribal regions on the border between Iraq and Pakistan: Medal of Honor is a Taliban simulator.

A typical mission has you start in an Iraqi village, looking for kite-flyers, ankle-revealing women, and people listening to music, which are then dispatched with suicide bombs. In the later levels the player moves on to San Fransico, before the final, most difficult stage, a republican-voting small town. Power-ups include hashish and heroin.

However, all this obvious evil is only there to distract from the subtle satanism of Medal of Honor. Just take a look at the game's logo:



That's right: it's an upside-down pentagram in a circle!



The upside-down pentagram is the face of Satan:



The point of every Medal of Honor game is to collect shiny medals - basically jewelery - climaxing with the upside-down pentagram itself. Do you really want your son to collect jewelery? Do you want your children to fight for the Taliban as they lust after a shiny necklace that has the symbol of Satanism as it's centerpiece?

Friends, we all understand that Freedom Isn't Free™. 9/11 changed everything, and to protect America, we all have to make sacrifices. And if that sacrifice means we have to ban Medal of Honor and burn every copy, then God Bless America!

UPDATE: Liam Fox, Secretary of State for Defence of the United Kingdom, has joined our crusade! Our influence and connections go far and wide.

Re: Medal of Honor: first review!

Well do these Califonrication freaks at EA even get such a stupid, un-American name like "Medal of Honor"? Sounds like something a Frenchman who surrendered the most would have.

From what we saw on the Freehold Public Safety committee meeting that game is a sick mess. You do that "Hot Coffee" thing and you can go have gay sex with your targets in the San Fransisco level before killing them. Allegedly there is a command line code that would turn all the figures in the game into Furries, but we didn't want to see that.

Safe to say Medal of Honor is NOT for sale in Freehold County.

Re: Medal of Honor: first review of the "Taliban Simulator"!

I never thought I'd actually see a terrorist recruitment tool released to the American public. EA has stooped to a new low for an already smut riddled video game industry. This calls for a boycott of stores that plan to sell this evil game so that it never reaches the shelves. I can't think of the harm that it will do to our children if it gets into their hands.

Well I do find it suspicious that such recruitment tools didn't exist before Sadam got into the White House. Now all of a sudden, such things are legal? It's a full out attack on Christians in this nation!

Re: Medal of Honor: first review of the "Taliban Simulator"!

For my part, i saw some beta gameplay videos of MOH and i do not like the game. Its not realistic at all. I prefer America's army and the upcoming game name Arma2. You guys should review both of these games.

America's army is free to play and its more of a training simulation. Even the Army soldiers play that game them-self to feel how it is during war.

Re: Medal of Honor: first review of the "Taliban Simulator"!

In America's Army
both teams are the U.S army but both sides see each other as part of the enemy army. So while you and your teammates are Americans and see the enemy as the fiction army it's exactly the same for the other side.

That's mean, no one can play as a terrorist or a Russian and they will never be able to kill an American soldier. The only way to do that is by killing your own team mate, but you will then get sent to jail for a period of time.

There is something facinating about Americans killing each other while thinking they are killing terrorists. I can't wait for "augmented reality" to become universal...

So you would really rather play a terrorist and kill American soldiers? How could you be such a monster? Americans are dying in Afghanistan as we speak. When this game launches, children will be able to play the Taliban who are killing American soldiers right now. This is such an outrage to me as a True Christian™ American!!!!

He's a Quebec separatist. They think they should be able to kill whoever they wish and get away with it because they're just that special. He's also a Negro which gives him an extra level of feeling superior.

Yeah, there's not much hope for that one.

Re: Medal of Honor: first review of the "Taliban Simulator"!

Why do all these Nintendo game companies have to pander to the lowest dregs of society? Can't they make a game that doesn't have sex, violence, and anti-Americanism in it? And when they do feature religion it usually glorifies Satanism, witchcraft, and paganism (like all those Roll Playing Games).

Why can't games be simpler. How about Bible Trivia? I bet that would sell a lot of copies because kids love video games and play whatever is handed to them. Plus, many of them would learn more about the Bible. The only reason kids play these violent Columbine simulators is that those are the only types of games on the market! If they had a "Bible Trivia" game, it would make millions.

Re: Medal of Honor: first review of the "Taliban Simulator"!

It's no surprise that EA would put out a taliban simulator. They are located in the communist Mecca of the northwest Seattle.

I am so incredibly prematurely offended by this game!

You don't get it and its hard to explain. Both team play as the Americans and can only kill terrorist or Russians. In America army, its not possible to play as any terrorist or Russians. Its the only war in existence that force you to play as an American only and force you to kill terrorist or Russians.

I understand perfectly. The players on opposite sides assume the role of American soldiers, while they think they're killing terrorists and dirty russians, they are in fact killing other American soldiers. What kind of twisted, sick person could make such an evil game? I'm not sure if Medal of Honor is worse for allowing children to play the Taliban and kill innocent American soldiers, or this America Army, where children are brainwashed into believing they're killing muslims and russians when they're actually killing Americans. Either way, this violence toward American soldiers is shocking!

Christians have a long tradition of being able to know the contents of media we have not watched or read,

I am reminded of how Bush knew all he needed to know by just reading the headlines of newspapers. Whoever said you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover was obviously not a straight-talkin' maverick. I'm inspired to write a book review right now:



LOOK AT THE COVER, PEOPLE! They admit it! THE DOG-EATERS ADMIT IT!

Two thumbs up.

New pro-Islamofascist computer game

Outrage over Taliban game !

A screenshot from Medal of Honor.

A new video game that lets players opt to fight alongside Taliban soldiers against the US in Afghanistan has provoked outrage.
Medal of Honor, which is due to launch in October, is a multiplayer game based on an elite group of US soldiers sent to "apply their unique skill sets to a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile battlefield conditions of present day Afghanistan".
But the new title from Electronic Arts has incensed the military community for using an ongoing conflict as a source of entertainment, and allowing gamers to pick which side they want to fight with.
Families of US Troops serving in Afghanistan have also condemned the new game. Karen Meredith, the mother of a US soldier who died in the conflict, told Fox News: "Right now we are going into a really, really bad time in Afghanistan ... this game is going to be released in October so families who are burying their children are going to be seeing this."
"My son didn't get to start over when he was killed - his life was over and I have to deal with that everyday ... it is just not a game," she said.
Electronic Arts is not the first game publisher to attempt to cash in on an ongoing military campaign.
Atomic Games faced a storm of criticism from UK war veterans when it announced a new game called Six days in Fallujah. The title was widely panned for trivialising the devastating events that went on in the Iraqi city. The title has had trouble attracting a publisher and is yet to be released.
Sony provoked similar outrage when it applied for a US trademark on the term "Shock and Awe" just two days after the US military commenced its bombing campaign in Baghdad.
Sony later chose to withdraw the application, describing its application as "an exercise of regrettable bad judgment."
However gaming industry advocates defend the release of games covering controversial topics such as war, on the basis that other entertainment media such as films also commonly depict conflicts as they unfold.
"The vast majority of homes have videogame machines ... so it stands to reason they will bring emotive content to this medium. There is an argument that this entertainment medium allows you to explore wider story and more closely engage with a particular issue," said Ron Curry, chief executive of the Interactive Game and Entertainment Association of Australia.
He added, however, that when it came to inappropriate content, the IGEA was "very supportive of classification regimes". "Obviously there is offensive material that shouldn't be out there," he said.
