Something else now for the anti gamers to complain about and im sure He will go on and on and on.

though i am curious to see how it is modded mainly cause i've never even played the original battlefield or bf2

I think it's about high time publishers started standing up for mod makers instead of this childish pointing and saying 'he did it!' whenever the press gets a dumb idea in their head. I mean, good grief... half the success of the Battlefield games comes from fantastic mod support, I'm talking the likes of Desert Combat making Battlefield super-successful, and EA calls it 'drawing a mustache on a picture'?

Give me a break. When is this industry going to start making a stand instead of shuffling along gazing at the ground with it's hands in it's pockets blaming everyone else?

Well.... it is everyone else's fault. We complain about everything. Too much copy protection or game protection, we bitch. They allow us to mod, we feel like it's their fault. They can't win (sans money-wise).

Oh really? enmitywithin May 5 2006, 12:12:13 UTC

I mean seriously. because we ALL KNOW that games are responsible for violence, games can teach you how to aim a gun, and games can cause.... you know what? no. they don't.

Seriously. the closest I can think of this even to begin helping the terrorists is by being able to memorize a single route into a building to bomb. These are friggin TERRORISTS. I mean seriously. the most I can see coming out of this is a muslim network of B2 players.

This sounds suspiciously like that alabama case where it was tried to prove that GTA was able to teach a kid to accurately shoot a weapon.

I also like how no one's pointing out that the US Army has its OWN murder-simulator.

Is it just me or does this seem like a joke?

Seriously terrorists are going to train using Battlefield 2?!?!

Wow, they are in for a big suprise when they try to fight real soldiers.

"I was just a boy when the infidels came to my village in Blackhawk helicopters" is a line from Team America: World Police.
