Title: EA for Allah Post by: Sky on May 05, 2006, 09:49:27 AM BF2 modded by Islamic militants (http://news.com.com/Islamic+militants+recruit+using+U.S.+video+games/2100-1043_3-6068963.html?tag=nefd.top). Other fun stuff. Maybe they made the Oblivion nude mod, too.

Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Sky on May 05, 2006, 11:23:03 AM No good links. Goddamned christians at cnet trying to hold the muslim down!
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: WayAbvPar on May 05, 2006, 11:23:45 AM Does this mean that the Department of Defense will make me the A of spades the next time I have high score on the MEC side in a BF2 round?
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Azazel on May 05, 2006, 06:26:42 PM I wonder if they've modded America's Army yet?
I'd be interested to see this mod of BF2. I wonder if the narration is in Arabic or English, considering there's a number of different Arabic dialects and languages out there, and the fact that there are more computers in the West. Could be more like a "worm" type mod aimed at Western muslims, to get more people fired up to become home-grown terrorists like the London guys. Sadly, the SP game probably has more depth than what EA shipped with.. Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Samwise on May 05, 2006, 10:12:35 PM I know people who work at SAIC. I didn't know they were paid to monitor ebil FPS mods on teh intarwebs. Ugh. :-P
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Triforcer on May 06, 2006, 05:52:17 AM That chart next to the article makes no sense. :hello_kitty:
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Tale on May 06, 2006, 07:01:53 PM I don't see a chart. Instead, I've got an invitation to buy BF2 next to the article :)
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Tale on May 06, 2006, 08:40:09 PM Turns out a BF2 player made a jihadist-themed FRAPS video using BF2 and a "when the Black Hawks came to my village" voiceover from Team America: World Police. It was intended as humour, but it has blown up into this Reuters story :)

Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Tale on May 08, 2006, 07:18:22 PM That thread is quite funny - a Reuters reporter and a BF2-playing NBC reporter have posted, wanting to talk to SonicJihad:
http://www.forumplanet.com/planetbattlefield/topic.asp?fid=7419&tid=1888667&p=1 [edit] and here is the BF2 video itself ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmUWFb9_vP0&search=Sonic%20Jihad Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Krakrok on May 08, 2006, 10:37:02 PM Reuters pwned by internet hoax. News at 11.
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Tale on May 09, 2006, 06:58:10 AM Reuters pwned by internet hoax. News at 11. But that's wrong. It's not Reuters at fault, except for missing the Team America quote. They merely reported what was presented to the US Congress. The Defence Dept and contractors seem to be those pwned. It's also not a hoax, it's just some guy's attempt at making a FRAPS video which he posted to a forum where his ID includes the word "jihad".Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Tale on May 09, 2006, 06:59:10 AM 2
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: sarius on May 09, 2006, 07:04:45 AM Hoax or fact: (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12616629/) you decide! :)
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Righ on May 12, 2006, 04:28:47 PM Playing video games leads to international terrorism, drug addiction, devil worshipping and communism and should be banned. Same goes for rock music and unwholesome literature. Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things... and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force called MUSIC!
Title: Re: EA for Allah Post by: Tale on May 12, 2006, 08:10:17 PM SonicJihad has done a really good interview (link in quote below) and is to be on ABC TV in the US next week.
Quote Here is my first interview @ gamePolitics.com The ABC TV interview shall be held next week For now enjoy and thanks everone!!!!!!!! http://gamepolitics.livejournal.com/285129.html Trey Parker has blogged about it: www.treyparker.com (http://www.treyparker.com) and Watercoolergames has transcripts of the Congressional hearings where the video was used as an example of terrorists using videogames: www.watercoolergames.org It's sad that Reuters is getting the blame around the Internet. They did nothing but report accurately on a Congressional hearing.
