In the upcoming Medal of Honor titled by EA coming out October 12th, EA has decided to remove the ability to let players control Taliban fighters because of the amid harsh criticism from military officials and others.

You may of heard almost a month ago that the US military banned the game because of this. You can read more about that article here if you are interested.

Game publisher Electronic Arts said Friday that it has decided to remove the name “Taliban” from one of the forces in the multiplayer version of the game, which focuses on modern-day fighting in Afghanistan.

“This is a voice that has earned the right to be listened to. It is a voice that we care deeply about,” Goodrich said in a written statement. “Because of this, and because the heartbeat of ‘Medal of Honor’ has always resided in the reverence for American and Allied soldiers, we have decided to rename the opposing team.”

Players still will be able to control the fighters — which are the enemy when a player is playing the game alone — but they will be referred to simply as “Opposing Force.”

The U.S. military’s Army & Air Force Exchange Service had asked on-base stores not to stock “Medal of Honor.” “Out of respect to those we serve, we will not be stocking this game,” said Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella, the service’s commanding officer. “We regret any inconvenience this may cause authorized shoppers, but are optimistic that they will understand the sensitivity to the life and death scenarios this product presents as entertainment.”

Jeff Brown, a spokesman for EA, said the controversy surprised the game publisher. “The misunderstanding starts with people who don’t understand the dynamics of video games,” Brown said. “There are cops and robbers, good guys vs. bad guys, in nearly every game, and we were surprised to be reminded that not everyone gets that dynamic.”

EA has released another preview of Medal of Honor in part of their MOH Experience videos, check the latest one ‘Danger Close’ out which includes more Single Player footage. Enjoy.

Treyarch’s Viral Site gknova6.com has been updated with an age verification process. Once you have entered, you will notice the following video which is shown this post.

This now confirms that Zombies will in fact be apart of the upcoming Call of Duty title “Black Ops.” You may of already figured zombies would be a part of Black Ops too when it was released not too long ago that if you purchased the Hardened or Prestige versions of Call of Duty when it comes out (or pre-ordered) that it would also include the 4 maps of Zombie Mode from Call of Duty: World at War. Well not you know, if you did not.

Either way, this is great news and you can expect Treyarch to add even more to Zombies all together than what they did before in World at War too. I think zombie mode will be a lot more fun than it already was.

In a recent interview with Josh Olin, he confirms that Black Ops with NOT be hackable as it was in MW2. Though you saw the same eventually in CODWAW and COD4, it was not as much because MW2 was the most recent and popular, and still is till Black Ops comes out.

This is great news to legitimate people out there, such as all of team bRos. Especially since we all earned 10th prestige legit in MW2 too.

He talks about the game not being hackable, and that they have put in preventative measures for these hacks at the end of the video. He also mentions they will be able to moderate the leaderboards!

Here is yet another Medal of Honor video released, this time giving us more a teaser on Single Player instead of Multiplayer.

I am glad to see multiplayer looking a lot better by DICE since the beta that was absolutely terrible.

In just 2 months now, Call of Duty: Black Ops by Treyarch will be released!

You can continue to follow us for more Black Ops news, trailers, news, and especially any leaks via our RSS feed, Twitter account or visiting our site.

This trailer shows how the Wage Matches are and work in the upcoming title.

Just 2 nights ago now, Diallo reached 100,000 Kills in Modern Warfare 2. This comes 2 weeks after Mistical just reached 100,000 Kills though the game was not played daily since then.

The Zombies mode from Call of Duty: World at War will return with all 4 maps in Call of Duty: Black Ops. But you must purchase either the Hardened or Prestige Editions of the game. Otherwise, it looks like you will have to purchase these 4 maps as downloadable content.
