Members of your team will always appear as American soldiers to you, while members of the opposing team will always appear as terrorists.

Well, that does it for me. Military propaganda is fine with me, but pushing Bush's "War on Oil Terror) kills it.

Being a soldier in todays Army, I'm fairly excited to see just how realistic this game is...it looks ok...hoping to be getting it as soon as it comes out to see just what the damn Army spent all that money for...it certainly wasn't for barracks maintenance, as my room (and the entire first floor of the barracks) got flooded yesterday when the air conditioning water line broke in my room...

    That's not the intent. Think of it in terms closer to an interactive TV commercial. : Embrionic

Haha, can you imagine outraged parents at playing a violent game paid for with tax dollars? "My son went out and killed 20 people because he played a violent game... of course he joined the army beforehand, so it's OK, but still"

Actually, the game looked pretty damn good from what I saw at E3. I was really surprised. Strange motivation for a game though, although when you consider that developing, distributing, and supporting the game is cheaper for the US Army than TV advertising, it starts to make some sense.
