| New Medal Of Honor is controversial The 1st person shooter game series Medal of Honor allows the player to be a Taliban soldier in multiplayer mode, and even before its release in October, has raised controversy. The U.S. network Fox News has presented the views of a mother whose son was killed in combat in Iraq on the new game from Electronic Arts. "Families buried their children will be seeing and playing it” said Karen Meredith on the new game Medal of Honor. In the game, which takes the acclaimed series of first-person shooter for the scenario of modern warfare, players will be divided between U.S. troops and Taliban fighters in multiplayer mode. According to EA, “players get into the boots of these warriors and apply their techniques in a unique new enemy in the most fiery and hostile battlefield of Afghanistan.” In an interview with Fox News, Karen says there is a difference between reviewing past conflicts, as in other titles in the series, which passed in the second world war, wars still going on where “people are dying”. In an official statement, Electronic Arts denies the charges saying “we do this since seven years – if someone is a policeman, another has to be the thief. In multiplayer Medal of Honor, someone has to be the Taliban.” Ethical issues related to games are nothing new, especially in games of first-person shooter.  |
