Rumour: Medal of Honor heads to… 2002 Afghanistan
According to this JeuxVideo post, EA intends to send the Medal of Honor series into the modern day, presumably on the coattails of Call of Duty 4.
The setting? Afghanistan in 2002. That story contains an apparent confirmation from EA on this, but we’ll check in the morning.

Slowly running out of American wars, are we?
I hope you can select the Taliban wouldn’t be much fun playing for the losing side.

Spoken like an idiot and a coward.
America could always colonize the Middle East. Oh, yeah, that’s right! One of the reasons we are in this mess in the first place. Someone decided to colonize the Middle East…
Stick to commenting about video games, git.

Americans and British are as bad as each other.
I should know. I am one.

Sometimes, I have a hard time following the comments. Either it’s me, or they are totally incoherent.

Completely agreed…
I don’t think anyone ever tried to colonise the Middle East.
That a pretty big place, and with it a pretty big generalisation.

You are right, people. Sorry. I didn’t like Syrok’s flaming comments and reacted. I’m very proud of my country and felt that his comments were out of line for a video game site. I should have just let it go. Like it or hate it, it’s no surprise an American would hit back when hit. =p

He, I didn’t even intend to say anything against America.
It was against the games industry always using the same wars – altough this is new, but I wonder where they go from here – with the same good guys. I really wish there was game where you could play as the bad guys.

Well to be fair, what what wars has American been involved in, other than civil wars?
Not many. He was more than justified in saying that.
CoD and CoD2 always involved more than just American troops, even if the English accents were cringeworthy it was very nice, and realistic of them.

Hey, it could be worse…you could be German!
(better clarify…does anyone portray them as anything other than Nazi’s?)

That’s a very bad topic for discussion here!
