美军下令禁售《荣誉勋章》[Medal of Honor banned by US military]

x卡拉什尼科夫x

据Computerandvideogames.com的最新消息，本来就“是否可以扮演一名塔利班武装人员参加游戏”而一直存有争议的《荣誉勋章》，近日又接到了来自美国军方通牒。

美国陆空军消费合作社（AAFES）确认，目前全国各军事基地以及全球范围内的美军基地的游戏销售网点已经禁止了《荣誉勋章》的销售，其中就包括了Gamestop的49家本土连锁店。

在一封发给全体员工的公开邮件中，GameStop公司表他们将回收所有已经投放市场含有美军基地位置的游戏及宣传材料。那些执意要购买《荣誉勋章》的玩家，可以到军事基地之外的零售点处购买。而这又引起了玩家们一轮收藏标有美军基地的游戏的热情。

邮件内容中还称，“GameStop完全支持AAFES关于这个敏感题材的决议——关于游戏在多人模式中可扮演一名塔利班士兵。”

由于最新推出的《荣誉勋章》故事背景是一名驻阿富汗美军士兵的实生活，因此本作与美国军方的扯进了太多的联系。

目前EA就此事还没有发表任何评论。

Medal of Honor banned by US military
Friday 3-Sep-2010 11:14 AM Army stores won't sell EA's controversial FPS

Stores located on Army and Air Force bases have been told to keep EA's upcoming FPS Medal of Honor off their shelves.

The Army and Air Force Exchange Services has told Kotaku that it has banned the game from being sold at a total of 49 GameStop stores in the US.

GameStop e-mailed its employees and revealed it has decided to support the decision to not 'carry Medal of Honor in any of our AAFES based stores...out of respect for our past and present men and women in uniform.'

'As such, GameStop agreed to have all marketing material pulled by noon today and to stop taking reservations. Customers who enter our AAFES stores and wish to reserve Medal of Honor can and should be directed to the nearest GameStop location off base' read the e-mail.

GameStop made it clear to employees that the playable Taliban character were the cause of this ban.



'GameStop fully supports AAFES in this endeavor and is sensitive to the fact that in multiplayer mode one side will assume the role of Taliban fighter.'

The inclusion of Taliban characters has drawn a lot of fire recently, Fox news branded the game 'disrespectful' and UK Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, has called for the 'tasteless' game to be banned.

DICE, the studio responsible for the multiplayer in Medal of Honour, has said "it's not about the war, it's about the soldiers" and that the content 'doesn't provoke too hard'.
