- Gamers allowed to fight for Taliban
- Dead soldiers' families outraged
- Set for October release
EVER wanted to know how it feels to ambush and kill a US soldier?
Fancied yourself as a bit of a dab handler of Improvised Explosive Devices?
You're in luck - the latest instalment in the popular Medal of Honor video game franchise will let you play as a Taliban soldier plotting against the Coalition troops in Afghanistan.
For the uninitiated, Medal of Honor is one of several first-person shooting games largely responsible for keeping the flagging video game market alive in recent years, giving gamers the chance to get behind the sights of a soldiers' rifle and experience war first-hand.
Previous
incarnations of the game - the brainchild of blockbuster director
Steven Spielberg - have been set in famous world war arenas through
history and their combined sales have run in to the billions of dollars'
worth.
And while in the multiplayer games, there's always been
the necessity for some players to take the role of opposing forces, it's
the fact that the newest release is set in a war from which dead bodies
are still arriving home that's causing so much outrage, particularly
from those who have a personal stake in the conflict.
"Right now we're going into a really, really bad time in Afghanistan
and we've just come off of the worst month of casualties in the whole
war and this game is going to be released in October," Karen Meredith,
the mother of a fallen US soldier told Fox News.
"So families who are burying their children are going to be seeing this and playing this game.
"My
son didn't get to start over when he was killed. His life is over, and I
have to deal with this every day...it's just not a game."
The release of Medal of Honor in Australia will depend on how it's classified.
If it doesn't fit the MA15+ requirements, it won't get a release in this country under the current classification guidelines.
Last year, Modern Warfare 2 achieved a MA15+ ratings, despite the fact one feature allowed
participants to gun down civilians in a terrorist attack on a busy
airport.
