Thanks The pre apology was intended as a disclaimer saying "I searched and found nothing so don't come an whine at me if you know a thread already exists, please be constructive and show me the uselessly title thread(s) that didn’t appear on my search" didn’t work thoNicholas Langdon wrote:

That was Congress actually, they didn't try to ban BF2, but the "Terrorist modification which you send 25 dollars for it" AKA BF2: SF... Where you can play the role of an insurgent... Just coz some Euro-Arab guy made a film while playing SF using lines from Team America "When I was young... the Black hawk helicopters came into my town..."
EA laughed their asses off.

This reminds me of how Iranians got pissed over "300". It's just a fucking film.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if psych-ops guys have looked into the possibility of using games for pre-conflict propoganda. But lets not tell them that they're full of shite 'cos we might get some good games out of it.
Ghost recon advanced warfighter 2 in being banned in mexico because it makes mexico look bad. Its Fiction set in an alternative future 7-8 years from now for FFS!
"The governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua has ordered that copies of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 be confiscated, according to a report on Spanish-language site El Diario.
Set in Juárez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, GRAW2 follows an elite combat unit battling Mexican rebels in the year 2014. Earlier this month, the mayor of Juárez, a city in Chihuahua on the Mexican-American border, criticized the game sharply, saying it instilled poor values and portrayed his town's people as violent.
According to the report, Chihuahua Governor José Reyes Baeza Terrazas considers the game an insult not only to the city of Juárez, but to the entire country. Currently, authorities are gathering information on where the game is being sold, reproduced, and distributed in preparation for a seizure campaign, El Diario reported.
As of press time, an Ubisoft representative had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment. "

Ridiculous. It's like where Kazakhstan wanted to sue 'Borat', because it made them look bad. Anyone who believed that the Sasha was actually from there doesn't deserve to have an opinion

That never happened. In fact, they were delighted at it's effect on tourism.Konfusion0 wrote:

oh HELL NO! Mercenaries 1 rocked!
It sure did. I'll be extremely pissed off if the sequel is canned because someone is trying to ban fictional stories they don't like.Poseidon wrote:

I dunno, it's probably already been done. Crimson didn't specify whether or not it had to be a WWII title (a topic the Germans seem to abhor). I've also played games from the British and Russian perspective, both of these nations formerly enemies of my country.Konfusion0 wrote:
What's the problem with that? WWI was not just Germany's fault - go read an unbiased non-alliance, non-axis view on it. Germany was fighting the same war Britain was...crimson_grunt wrote:
