Hey look everyone, it’s the tabloids making up a load of old horse manure – again. However it’s not the main ‘News’paper this time, the article is in their games section. Paul Vale begins by talking about the ‘buzz’ about a ‘Kill Osama’ movie.
“I’m sure it’ll get made.,” he says “I’m equally sure that game designers are already poring over pictures of Bin Laden’s compound, working out a way to include a similar mission in one of their forthcoming shooters. “
Really? If there are any games designers working on this then please get in touch.
“When’s the next Call of Duty game out?”
Asks Paul, implying COD will feature an Osama style mission. It’s out at the end of year Paul, any decent games writer knows that.
“What gamers want is ever-increasing levels of realism and designers have already shown themselves prepared to tackle controversial events on the console and PC. “
Yes we are prepared to tackle controversial events except as soon as anything controversial appears – No Russians, the Taliban in Medal Of Honor – dirty rags like yours jump all over it and claim we’re all terrorists. However you now seem to be supporting this kind of content, please make your mind up.
“As such,” concludes Paul, “Expect Rainbow Six: Abbottabad; Call Of Duty: SEAL Team Six; or Medal Of Honor: Osama to be hitting the shops just in time for Christmas.”
Or not.

Medal Of Honor purposefully introduced the Taliban & IEDs into its combat, to promote the game
Battlefield 3 features a mission in Tehran, which will probably be promoted far more by them nearer release
They’ve said these things are in the game ‘for kicks, to be talked about & to create press’ glaringly omitting ‘realism’ when explaining why such ‘realistic’ scenarios were in their games
Whilst most people commenting will look to CoD to court this sort of controversy, form shows it’s one of EAs products people should watch out for.

Love the way he describes Osama’s death as a scene taken straight from S.T.A.L.K.E.R, yes that’s right, the post-apocalyptic FPS. Incredibly poor article.

And this is why I prefer the Guardian: They have brains. And that Charlie Brooker chap….

Why bother giving these papers/articles/idiots any exposure? They don’t have anything like the number of readers they used to, so why waste your time bringing it to the attention of the web mass? Ignore them and no-one will know – or care – who these muppets are.
