Well it would be historically acurateGonzoGamer said:This isn't the first time you get to play as a terrorist in a game.
My question is:
Would they really prefer it if you played as all US or allied soldiers killing each other?

Goddamn you blue! You switch yet another person to the dark side!! Red lead the way!LaughingAtlas said:I looked it up and apparently you only (can) play as the Taliban in multiplayer, nothing more than switching jerseys from match to match. It seems like getting up in arms about TF 2 if you're fond of the color red, but deeply resentful of the color blue.
I understand their argument but I don?t think it?s valid when you consider these things are re-enacted in movies, documentaries, and other entertainment mediums that they don?t complain about. Even other games. Some people find war entertaining, so you?re going to have to assume that it?s going to show up in the media in various ways. You?re right, I don?t really think war is something that should be glorified but at it?s worst, it?s given us some really good movies and games. I just don?t think there?s any reason to deny (what would otherwise universally be considered) decent content to people who want to play it. You also hae to remember that those soldiers are also fighting to give others the freedom of speech we are able to enjoy.Liquidcathedral said:you're lying to yourself, bro, you do get it and you're playing devil's advocate for the sake of argument, bro.GonzoGamer said:This isn't the first time you get to play as a terrorist in a game.

just that the taliban is a rl group(an anti-draw muhammad group that kills you, to be exact) and ppl who take offense to this sort of thing(soldiers, raging conservatives, dead soldiers parents) don't want players to re-enacting this sort of thing for the sake of entertainment. just reminding you bro.
its not like ww1/ww2 where the conflict is on the fringes of living memory, there are thousands of troops that are still fighting the angry muslims.
