DAILY MANIFESTO

Medal of Honor: Warfighter Trains You Like A Terrorist

Posted on Wednesday, October 24 @ 12:42:48 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

If you remember two years ago, Medal of Honor developers Danger Close had their hand forced when the reactionary media discovered that players would actually be playing as the Taliban in multiplayer, even fighting against the other team in US uniforms.

I can't image they're still sore about that mix up, but at least Fox News didn't get ahold of the game until release day (like the rest of us). Otherwise, I can't imagine the Day 1 patch the developer would have to cook up to remove this training level that puts you in the boots of a mole in a terrorist organization based in Yemen.

Yemen? Is that the place Chandler tells Janice he's flying to so he can avoid her? (Yes it is).

Anyway, as you can see above, this particular cell has created a mock airplane that pits players against what can only be a slew of air marshalls and finally the two operating the plane in the cockpit. Our review of Medal of Honor: Warfighter is incoming, but until then, let the awkwardness of this early mission wash over you.

I guess to some extent terrorism is part of the current warscape. Seems tough to create realistic military based games while not acknowledging the other side. We know for a fact they train similar to this manner because our military at one point trained them...which creates a bit of a dilemma. Would the scene have been worse if they based it on reality and put you in the shoes of US military personell actually training the taliban pre 911...?

And handing weapons over to the "rebels" so they can defend themselves from the USSR.

I hope EA learns a lesson from trying to sell this to consumers. Here's the Destructoid review:

"Charmless, cynical, and uninspired, Warfighter encapsulates everything wrong with the annual big budget shooter industry. It's really not an awful game, it's just insipid and shallow, a title that exists solely to exist, and squeeze whatever profit remains to be had from serving the same flavorless porridge to the same unadventurous customers."

Saw the score earlier but haven't really read anyone else's review. Trying to stay original to my opinion.
