BF2S Forums in the news--Jihadists training using BF2???

Wow...just wow...if, a year from now, a US newspaper reports "BATTLEFIELD 2 BANNED FROM STORES - TERRORISM CONCERNS CITED"...now I know why.

Good catch G3|Genius, and good post.

I concur.  Regardless of one's American political perspective, the world should not lose sight of the enemy here.

I can't wait to see those jihadists TK each other since that's what everyone's best in BF2.

WOW.

the irony is, they're going to blame the game, they're gonna blame you and me for playing the game, but they will not blame those whacked out Muslims extremists for doing this.  Mark my words.

GOD things like this enfuriates me.

to those of you who do not think this war is a good one--our enemy is twisted.  This is proof.  Our beloved BF2 is a game and we have fun.  They are using this to train children???????

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY think that there is any way to persuade people like this with words??

No offence mate but look at it from both sides.  I could write that exact story, from a non-muslim point of view and say that Vanilla BF2 teaches us (The Allies in Iraq) to kill Muslims. 

And the bit about a website showing US troops getting shot, I've seen those links in these forums.

If they are using it for training, that is fantastic.  This game doesn't even come close to real combat so hopefully they won't be prepared and will only get their asses whipped!!!

Another quote was "But in a modified video trailer posted on Islamic Web sites and shown to lawmakers, the game depicts a man in Arab headdress carrying an automatic weapon into combat with U.S. invaders."  Don't you see that in BF2:Special Forces anyway (i.e. Warlord)!!!!!!!!!

Don't get too worked up, it is just a journalists impression and they probably got it wrong anyway.

This truly infuriates me. As if video gaming doesn't already have enough wack-jobs trying to shut down shooter games. This only gives those babbling idiots more of a reason to hate games like bf2.

Way to go jihad-derka-derka.

I also heard this, the more drama goes around these game scandals killings blood bla bla in the news the better they sell I hope you can understand what Im trying to say here, seems like we like to do BAD things
