I think the misinformation is bad, but the refusal to fess up and admit they made a mistake about this is worse. I mean, shit, we just went ten rounds about pre-war intelligence and how faulty it was (from logistics, to WMDs, to stabilty plans, etc). The whole moral that was supposed to come out of that was to stop crap like this from coming up. As trivial as it is, it's a symptom that seems to show the bigger problem still exists.

Yet the American government can create a game killing it's opposers, and not be considered the same thing? Fucking hypocritical bastards...

Uhh, I think the point was moreso, terrorists using american games to train at killing american soldiers.

Somehow I actually forgot about that. I'm not so sure their problem with it is that it is an American game (though that does rub salt in the wounds), I think they just have a problem with the fact they are using computer games to glorify terrorism and lure in children, and that really is hypocritical considering AA is designed to do exactly the same thing for the American army.

EDIT: Oh and this should really be in games industry discussion, shouldn't it?

Well i suppose it could be there but not cesaserly has to. Since this is Off Topic almost anything could go in here even if theres a forum for special things. Anything xept EOT stuff that is.

The diffrence is that military fights the military or terrorists, and terrorists fight civilians

It's something along the lines of "the victor writes the history books."

But BF2 doesn't advertise or glorify killing civilians - you can only kill military people.
