911 Video Game... just a game?

In light of MW2, and the terrorist level, many of said: "What's the big deal, it's just a game".

This makes me wonder if someone made a game based on:

A) 9/11 where you play as Al Qaeda, would you still feel that its OK.

B) What about if it a game based on Afghanistan, where you play as the Taliban killing American soldiers. Further, the story would portray the Americans as the unjust, and the Taliban as just.

Yeah, I'd enjoy it. I honestly do not care and I am American. It would be interesting to see things from their perspective. I also want a game where you play as Russia/Germany against the Allies. (campaign ofcourse)

if it has a good story then its really no different to a movie about 9/11 from a terrorist perspectiveAndrovinus

I can't recall any of those.

Just remember that America is NOT the center of the universe.

How many games where Americans kill people from other countries have been?? Not to mention you don't seem too upset about the originalMW were you kill Middle Easterns. Seems all ok to you, but when someone dares to touch the USA, is when people starts raging :roll:

It would probably suck and be heavily based mostly on that. premise.

I'm from the US and fine about it. It better be a decent dev and not some **** cash-in from the likes of Spark Unlimited.

Ya, it's just a game.

And these MW2 topics just keep coming, don't they?

Actually, America hate keeps coming as well. :roll:

You should be able to "attack" any country in a videogame...becasue it is just that.

America is not some holy land.

A) LOL u Beleave in Al Qaeda?

B) Do i think its a good idea to play as the freedom fighters in Afghanistan who are tryin to defeat the invader america? Americans Havent fought a Just were since WW2 and even then they Knew About Pearl harbour and let it happen for pretext to get into the war, and they even used NUClear weopons on civllians killing millions of people, So even that war wasnt fully just. Maybe the only Noble just war america faught was against the British a couple hundred years ago.

So do I. And I'm from Amercia. We aren't a bunch of Gods that deserve to be worshipped while we send troops to kill and police everyone on the planet.

A and B are over the line... I suppose I could tolerate the MW2 massacre scene because you're not forced to shoot anyone. But Iknow peoplethat died in9/11 and afganistan... I don't think I could sit downand bring myself to kill them again at my hands. who would have fun with that:?

Yeah, I'd enjoy it. I honestly do not care and I am American. It would be interesting to see things from their perspective. I also want a game where you play as Russia/Germany against the Allies. (campaign ofcourse)

The examples you give cross the realm of fiction into reality. The certain scene in Modern Warfare 2 might be going for a frighteningly familiar (if even a bit exploitative) feel, but it's still in the realm of fiction. The examples you give would be interactive versions of what has actually happened, and can be made into an entirely different ethical discussion.

I think example B goes a bit over the line, and I don't see why people are making such a huge deal about MW2.

There you go. There are spoilers, though, so read at your own discretion.

WW2 was real.

The term Modern Warfare doesn't mean Nazi's taking over villages anymore. Its a different war now. That means terrorism. Rate M for mature people.

[QUOTE="Silverbond"]

[QUOTE="Next-Gen-Tec"] One big difference: 9/11 was real, MW2 terrorist plot is fictional. Next-Gen-Tec

WW2 was real.

9/11 is real and I'm assuming you don't want games about it. And I'm pointing out that WW2 is real.

That's my point. :|

Am I sensing some hostility here? :|

There is a JFK Assassination simulator for PC, so this isn't the worst thing...

I would love to play a game from the perspective of a terrorist

In no way to offend but in my opinion I don't really see why not. Since we're still making WWII games where millions upon millions of civilians and army personal died. Its just that 9/11 is in our time.

the problem is that 9/11 is real and happend not that long ago the MW2 airport sceneis fake and no one died.

i wouldnt mind if a game like that cameout but i dont see how it would be fun

Everyone who answered "yes, I'd like to play that" is now on an FBI watch list.

Do you really believe that most of the world thinks the war in Afghanistan is a just cause? Think again.

Yeah, they already did that. It's not 9/11, but yes, there are anti-American video games.

I'd be fine with a 9/11 game as long as it's somewhat accurately represented from the viewpoint of Al Qaeda.

Its just a game :| Same thing with movies.
