Electronic Arts Buckles Under Pressure, Removes Playable Taliban from Medal of Honor

Responding to the reaction of the "friends and families of fallen soldiers," Electronic Arts today said today they are removing the Taliban as playable characters from their upcoming military shooter Medal of Honor.

 

The opposing force that the U.S. military take on in Afghanistan in multiplayer bouts is now called the "opposing force."

 

Medal of Honor came under intense pressure from the military after it became known that in the multiplayer portions of the game, players would be able to take on the role of Taliban fighters.

 

In early September, the commanding general of the Army and Air Force Exchange Services told Kotaku that he decided to have Medal of Honor pulled from U.S. military bases worldwide because of the "well-documented reports of depictions of Taliban fighters engaging American troops" in the game.

 

Electronic Arts declined to comment at the time about whether the decision by the Army & Air Force Exchange Services would impact the design of the game.

 

In a statement this morning on the Medal of Honor website, Greg Goodrich, executive producer of Medal of Honor, said the decision to drop the Taliban reference was driven purely by the feedback from friends and families of fallen soldiers.

 

"This is a very important voice to the Medal of Honor team," he wrote. "This is a voice that has earned the right to be listened to. It is a voice that we care deeply about. Because of this, and because the heartbeat of Medal of Honor has always resided in the reverence for American and Allied soldiers, we have decided to rename the opposing team in Medal of Honor multiplayer from Taliban to Opposing Force."

 

Goodrich said the change will not directly affect gamers or alter gameplay.

 

Here is Goodrich's statement in full:

 

In the past few months, we have received feedback from all over the world regarding the multiplayer portion of Medal of Honor. We've received notes from gamers, active military, and friends and family of servicemen and women currently deployed overseas. The majority of this feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. For this, the Medal of Honor team is deeply appreciative.

However, we have also received feedback from friends and families of fallen soldiers who have expressed concern over the inclusion of the Taliban in the multiplayer portion of our game. This is a very important voice to the Medal of Honor team. This is a voice that has earned the right to be listened to. It is a voice that we care deeply about. Because of this, and because the heartbeat of Medal of Honor has always resided in the reverence for American and Allied soldiers, we have decided to rename the opposing team in Medal of Honor multiplayer from Taliban to Opposing Force.

While this change should not directly affect gamers, as it does not fundamentally alter the gameplay, we are making this change for the men and women serving in the military and for the families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice - this franchise will never willfully disrespect, intentionally or otherwise, your memory and service.

To all who serve - we appreciate you, we thank you, and we do not take you for granted. And to the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines currently serving overseas, stay safe and come home soon.

as niekaip nesuprantu kokia ju problema su tuo talibanu cia buvo.kazkoki moliai krc.vajei kaip cia taip gali but kad tu galesi zaist uz talibana per mp, o kai MW2 saudyt reikejo zmones oro uoste tai cia viskas normaliai buvo, va ta tai reikejo naher isbanint rimtai. pas zmones problemos tikrai randamos ne ten kur jos yra . na nebus Taliban jau...ai dabar aisku..MW2 juk rusus saudei oro uoste..ten viskas buvo gerai..ruskelius galima, o va amerikiecius kad pasaudysi budamas talibano pusej tai jau pasaulio pabaiga matyt..jasno dielo..anyway MP ir nelosiu tai vienodai ,tas kampanijos neliecia.

MOH buvo TaliBANINTAS

Tai ar teisingai supratau, kad niekas nepakeista išskyrus Talibaniečiai pavadinti Opposing Forces?

bet skirtumas juk yra kur tu zinotum kad jie Talibanieciai,butu COOL, ir kur dabar jie bus Opposing Forces, watever, juk zaidimas kuriamas buvo taip kad ten butu talibanieciai ,o ne OF, tai visiskai skirtingi dalykai. pvz man idomu zinot pries ka kaunuos ir kodel,aisku MP tas nelabai rupi bet vistiek,tokie dalykai neturetu "uzgauti" seimu kariu kurie zuvo ten kaudamiesi pries talibaniecius tipo gal.. prie ko cia zaidimas aplamai.

Ne zuvusiu kariu seimas uzgauna zaidimas, o dusmanus. Juk jie net i kiekviena karikatura kur bent kiek pasiepiamas islamas ziuri mirtinai rimtai. Ko pasekoje buna neramumai prie baziu, tiek Irake , tiek ir Afgane. Taip kad nemanau , kad gerai ta priesiskuma skatinti dar ir zaidimais, kurie turi buti pramoga placiajai masei, o ne bereikalingo pavojaus sukelejais tiek kariams , tiek civiliams. As pvz. irgi noreciau pasaudyti suskiukus(talibus) kompe, bet ne visi vienodai supranta

O kariai patys labai mielai zaidzia COD paciose misijose laisvalaikiu.

tai tada visus filmus tegu isbanina apie kara,ten ne to dar parodo.kai kas netaip supranta ir Halo3, kai kas tevus savo uzmusineja ir del Warcraft . man pvz buvo didelis SHH gabalas saudyt zmones oro uoste per MW2..matosi kad amerikieciam labai patiko tas....skirtumas yra kur kariai pries karius, ir kur tu su ginklu pries nieko detus zmones..gal MW3 tada zydus varysim degint i konclagerius,juk nieko tokio,svarbu kad tik ne talibanas. tai yra karas, ir tai yra baisu ir nezmoniska.gerai kai zaidime priesa tiesiog gali pavadint kitu vardu ir jis tampa jau neblogas.. as ne amerikietis,ir nemastau tik viena kryptim.

beje pasiskaityk del ko isbanino juos,del tu zuvusiu tenai seimu tipo protestu ,o ne del baimes ten kad talibanas ne taip paziures. jei i kieviena zaidima dabar ziuret asmeniskai kaip ir kokia gresme tai nera pie ka sneket isvis cia. game is game.ten as noriu daryt tai ko realiai niekad nebutu.zaidimai tam ir kuriami.

del MW2 .gal as tam oro uoste ten kazkada stovejau ir laukiau skrydzio tarp visu zmoniu, ir dabar as losiu uz terorista kuris lyg ir nenoredamas visus issaudo, kokio dar geresnio preteksto reikia teroristam butent tai pakartot.man tai kazkaip buvo ne visai jauku jei ka.

Na ko cia nesuprasti? Tu zinai kokia mirtinai rimta problema yra talibanas? Cia tau ne fiktyviu laiku fiktyvius rusus neegzistuojanciam oro uoste saudyti. Musulmonu teroristai yra REALI gresme tiek europoje tiek statuose. O jie kiekviena , net ir neegzistuojanti izeidima priima kaip nauju teroro aktu priezasti. Uz tai ir issimami tokie pavadinimai, kad nekurstyti ir taip jau is bet kokiu ribu isejusios neapykantos kafirams(cia jie taip likusi pasauli vadina, kurie i alacha netiki.

tu cia kazka maisai, cia amerikiecia isizeide kad galesi rinktis talibano puse ir saudyt amerikiecius, oen talibanas isizeidi. kad budamas amerikietis saudysi talibana ,cia viskas ok jiem,va kad atvirksciai butu galima daryt to jie leist negalejo ir tiek.

pvz man tas visai nesvarbu. per BF 1943 as labai megstu losti uz japonus ir saudyt amerikoskas. nesvarbu kad ir priesas butu Petras ar Antanas ,irgi sauciau net negalvodamas,koks skirtumas,gali but kad ir lietuvos partizanai ten.isvaryciau visus iki vieno jei taip butu linksma losti.cia juk zaidimai.visi ten eina pasaudyt vieni i kitus. tuo labiau cia ne story net ,o tik MP.

Geros USA propagandos prisigaudes golfvictor O del to talibano isemimo tai pritariu scalman, kaip ruskius saudyt tai galima buvo... Nors pagalvojus juk amerikieciai gamina, amerikieciai ir gali kazka ten keist. Rusams juk nepatiko ta scena mw2 ir kiek zinau rusai grasino baninti salyje zaidima, bet lygtai nepadare to iki galo. O ar kurejams tai rupetu? Aisku ne, kas tie rusai jiems...

aplamai tai zaidimas. kuo dvi puses kariaujancios tarpusavi yra priesiskesnes ,tuo idomiau lost. man pvz daug idomiau butu ju ginkluote, o vadintis gali kaiop tik nori ,galejo viena raide pakeist pavadinime ar kazka isgalvot.kazkaip man tai nieko nekeicia.amerikieciu zaidimuose visalaik saudai arba teroristus,arba rusus ,arba japonus.norejo daryt autentiska zaidima su autnetiskom vietovem ginklais bei grupuotem,tai reikejo eit iki galo,kure kure zaidima kur kariauja pries talibana, viskas buvo cool,idomu nu bus autentiska ir pan,o dabar pasirodo kad jau nebe talibanas. dabar visas karas ten pries OF. WTF !!
