Their ”position is consistent” with what they declared a month ago. The multiplayer portion caused all this ‘controversy’ among conservative circles.
”Out of respect to those touched by the ongoing, real-life events presented as a game, Exchanges will not be carrying this product,” said the US Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s Commander Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella.
”While we regret any inconvenience this may cause, our position is consistent with the direction stated a month ago. I expect the military families who are authorized to shop the Exchange are aware, and understanding, of the decision not to carry this particular offering.”
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service provides merchandise and services to around 12.3 million active duty, guard and reserve personnel, ex-soldiers and their families. In September they decided not to stock it because of the Taliban references.
EA has now dropped all use of the word Taliban from Medal of Honor’s multiplayer component, which was developed by Battlefield’s DICE studio.
Medal of Honor releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC October 15th in Europe.
