In Patch 1.4 Beta 1 there was a plane stuck into the hotel (see: http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j26/f … een017.jpg) but there've been some guys on the EA forum who mentioned that the plane should be removed due to the 9/11 incident. In Patch 1.4 Beta 2 the same scene looks like this (http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/2292/noplanebe8.jpg). As you can clearly see there's no plane left.

It's obvious that they removed the plane because of 9/11 - but now let's think a bit further. Isn't this a wargame? How many million of people died in wars? Isn't war something really awful in this world?

Now my question, why do they remove the plane but make games like BF1942 (55-60 million dead human in WW2), BF:Vietnam, BF2 - isn't this a bit shizophrenic?

Edit: WW2 facts

Maybe the wreckage burned up and now its just broken up to that much of the plane?

Because a great nnumber of the BF2 community are 10-year olds who would do anything to whine?

Looking at the screenshots, with the plane, it looks pretty good. Its unique and you wont find that on any other BF2 map.
So what if it bears a slight resemblance to 9/11? They show the footage of the planes hitting the towers on the news all the time. If you ask me, that is more "offensive" than some game with a plane in a building.
And in case you forget, with 9/11, the planes blew up completely straight away and there was no wreckage hanging out of the building - so this bears no resemblance.
Hell, they are even making a film of 9/11....

In that case, with Wake, why do they still have the downed WW2 Japanese Zero fighters in the water? Wouldnt that be offensive to some Japenese people? Ok, lets take them out as well while we are at it.
In fact, wouldnt it be "offensive" to "recreate" the whole Wake Island theme???
Oh, a tank got blown up in WW2, we better not have that smoking wreckage on our new Road Rage map.

I hate all of this politically correct bullshit in the world these days.

Isn't the plane now on the ground by the hotel?, jesus christ i understand that 9/11 was a terrible thing to happen but what the hell are you doing playing a war game if your so goddamn sensitive?
