Electronic Arts’ reboot of their classic WWII shooter series is finally upon us. Where the previous games endeavored to recreate famous battles between the Allied
forces and Nazi Germany, developer Danger Close has taken a more controversial path, creating what is, essentially, a Taliban simulator.
Players take the role of a nameless member of the Taliban in a rural part of Afghanistan. The early levels teach you the controls and basics of combat as you and a cadre of Taliban enforcers visit a nearby village to root out Coalition collaborators and punish women bold enough to go outside without wearing a burqa.

In a perversion of the system employed in America’s Army, players online always appear to be playing as the Taliban. Both sides will see the opposing team as American soldiers. Modes include variations on team death match, domination and more detailed rolling objective matches. Much like the recent Call of Duty games you accrue experience as you play allowing you to upgrade your weapon load out and modified the appearance of your character.
It’s a supremely polished experience with a scathing narrative and a chip on its shoulder. It’s difficult not to recommend a game this well made, but it more difficult to ignore this particular game’s incredibly offensive premise. It is a title made by people who hate America for people who hate America. I have no choice but to fulfill my patriotic duty in urging gamers not to support such a transparent act of hatred. I suggest you all contact your local congressional representative, demanding they take action against transgressive games like Medal of Honor.
