Exactly.
Soldiers sign up and know the risks. If anything the GTA and serial killer games are more offensive to society than war games.

Shame it came across that way to you.

I think you'll find I've been making the point that if you start going after war games you may aswell go after the GTA's and from that all other violent games based on any sort of real world occurences.
Go back and read the posts again.

Fair enough, but I'd offer that I can't see why you would want to play a game about serial killers and the ending of life when you appear so moralistic about war-based games?
Plus I'm an adult and can differentiate between a company like Infinity Ward who put an awesome amount of effort and care into a title like Call of Duty and a nation that operates almost as if it were independant from the rest of the world and is led by a corrupt chimpanzee.

*ahem*
I believe someone had just told me to 'blow a goat' or some such thing. So if you're looking for someone to mention childish school ground comments to I'd look elsewhere.
If I make a reply in jest after someone's reduced the level of 'discussion' that's nothing but me having fun.
Couldn't work that out could you? No siree. Well I take my hat off to you.

War games were even on the Amiga.
Cannon Fodder was great.

I have done. The only point you've made is that you like WW2 games. Apart from that you've just tried to rip Bonus to shreds.

Well you really brought this dicussion back on track with that "mr programmer" comment didn't you? No childish school ground comments from you, no siree.
Well done. I take my hat off to you.

Well you really brought this dicussion back on track with that "mr programmer" comment didn't you? No childish school ground comments from you, no siree.
Well done. I take my hat off to you.
Yep, spot on.
At the moment it's not a cash cow or bandwagon jumping as far as I'm aware.
I didn't say in the first place I was objected to all war games period. I just feel it's a step into franchise gaming which doesn't need to be made.
Football fine for franchising and milking. Fat plumber who gets a lift from magic mushrooms, ripe for milking.
I can't really see a disconnection between the increasing number of war games by American publishers and the current climate of Americans bombing anyone they don't like.
