Medal of Honor Banned From Military Base GameStops
Posted on Thursday, September 9 @ 14:45:09 Eastern by Nick_Tan
Because of the ability to choose Taliban fighters in the multiplayer mode of Medal of Honor, GameStop stores in Army and Air Force bases will not be stocking the game.

For those specific stores, all marketing material for Medal of Honor has been pulled and they will not be taking any reservations for the game, as explained in one of their internal memos:
"GameStop has agreed out of respect for our past and present Men and Women in uniform we will not carry Medal of Honor in any of our AAFES based stores. At this time it does not include our 4 stores on Marine Installations. GameStop fully supports AAFES in this endeavor and is sensitive to the fact that in multiplayer mode, one side will assume the role of Taliban fighters."
Of course, someone could just go get Medal of Honor somewhere outside of the base and return with it. In fact, I'm sure that's going to happen. A lot. This also includes a lot of Taliban killing... virtually, of course...

Some ambitious people could form a courier service for soldiers within the bases.
And nick... that picture is just so gay and yet so awesome!
Hate Gamestop for any number of reasons, but don't be retarded and hate them for trying to respect the people who went through what they've been through.
So what are they going to stop selling Blackhawk Down? And Jarhead? To me those are much more striking than a video game.
oora.
