Seems to be a UT 2003 mod ... unfortunately the site does not reveal to much background so it's a bit hard to judge whether this is just a very tasteless game or whether the creators of this want to make some kind of statement http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

I remember seeing this in one of my old PC Gamer (or PC Zone) magazines. It's not a real game if i remember - they did a feature on the 50 most controversial games ever - and this along with a game about Jesus (which used Postal 2's engine) was there as two games that someone has just made screenshots of.

Every time something really bad happens bad jokes appear. I also remember a mod based on the columbine incident. It is cheap but harmless, I do wonder who wants to play this, and why.

[The Wizard]

The mod was designed not to play, but to cause discussion like this. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

I notice some of you dislike the theme for this game simply because it is based around a modern disaster. Yet you play M:TW... that involves the crusades, they were holy war and many atrocities occurred during them, yet you don't complain about that. Just because it is about a modern disaster you are saying it's tasteless etc. Surely by saying this you are saying that M:TW is tasteless.

It's not as if you play as a terrorist, that could be a bad idea as the whole game would be based around destroying an American landmark, but in it you would be playing as the good guys. Nothing wrong with that is there.

I am pretty much certain that most of you wouldn't have the same views if it was about a disaster that happened to a small nation like Iraq or Afghanistan.

Question: If this game was about the nuclear power plant disaster, I can't remember the name of the place, Russian I think... anyway, if there was a game called 'Nuclear Plant survivor' would you all have the same opinions on it?

[spmetla]

I'm curious as to how someone plays 9/11. What do you do, spawn on a random floor, if the plane don't kill you try to get to the ground floor or jump out. It seems as a rather big waste of time than something offensive.

well recent events are kinda sensitive compared to events that happened way in the past,its pretty evident most games with a historical theme occur in the past,games with modern themes are pretty rare becuase of alot of sensitive matters.

Actually there is a game on the way about chernobyle survival called 'Stalker'. I am really looking forward to it, more then Doom3 and half-life2. About the mod, it is tasteless because it feeds on todays blues; it is made to hurt and nothing else.

I am sure that there are people who are sensitive about historical events. I'm sure that many Germans are still sensitive when the second world war is mentioned. Just because it happened recently doesn't meant that you should look at it as a more important event.

Tasteless just because it is related to modern affairs? You cannot be serious Like I said in my last post... just because it happened recently doesn't mean that it is tasteless. I could say that Counter-Strike is a tasteless game simply because it is based on a current problem in the world which is terrorism. There is no consistancy with your argument.

Once again, it is the intention. The only reason it was made is to upset people. Are you sure you don't see a difference?

Yes, but can you be certain that it was made to upset people? If so, please give me some evidence to back up your claim. If you can do this I will gladly accept that the game shouldn't be made under these circumstances.

Well what do you think the makers were trying to do? I think that my version is a bit more credible, I would like you to prove me that it is in fact a tribute to the people that died.

I do not need to prove that it was made as a tribute as I never claimed that it was. I simply asked if there was any evidence proving that it is being made as an insult. You are making assumptions and you are not abiding by the universal law of 'innocent until proven guilty'. As you have yet to show me any evidence proving your claim, we can only come to the conclusion that they aren't making the game with the wrong intentions.

What do I think the makers were trying to do? I think they were trying to make a simulation of the events of September 11th, just as the makers of the Chernobyl game are. I will continue to believe that there is nothing wrong with the game until you can prove to me that they had bad intentions when deciding to make this game.

A bit more credible Are you stupid? Something can only be credible if there is evidence supporting it or it has come from someone whose opinion you trust. As I do not know you that well I don't think I can trust your opinion so I have to look to the facts... and from what I've seen there is no evidence supporting your claim that they made this game out of malice or attempting to upset people. Therefore your 'version' is not credible at all.

I don't believe you. I reckon you realise that you have no counter-argument so you are resorting to immaturity. Well done, you've reached new levels of ignorance.

[frogbeastegg]

Disagreeing is one thing, but less of the name calling please.

[Copperhead]

Sorry. I just don't like it when people don't actually try and argue something properly and instead ignore what has been said because they don't want to accept it.

[Efrem Da King]

Oh shut up you stupid troll. Go back to your dirty little bridge.

[Copperhead]

Oh dear, name calling, i think a warning from frogbeastegg is at hand.

[frogbeastegg]

This thread is beginning to make me feel like a teacher in an infant school. :waits for someone to point at someone else and say Oooommmm That's naughty, I'm telling because they are eating crayons. Waits for someone else to wave hand frantically and be sick everywhere:

I don't do infant schools http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif

[Efrem Da King]

So....



your going for hands of approach moderation.

I like that.

[Copperhead]

You feel like a teacher in an infants school? Okay. By being moderator you are accepting responsibility for what goes on and dealing with it. I don't think it would be very fair for you to treat people differently just because they have been at the forum longer.

I was not acting in an infantile manner, i was simply asking for fair treatment.

[Efrem Da King]

You getting unfair treatment not because your knew here, but because you are an idiot.

[frogbeastegg]

Efrem that is enough Copperhead likewise. The reason why I feel like a teacher in an infant school is this petty and pointless bickering - exactly the same as the brats in my class at school many years ago. Aside from the assorted name calling we have a case of someone saying Teacher'll get you and another laughing at someone for getting told off. Primary school stuff.

Copperhead as far as fair treatment goes all my comments in this thread aside from the ones in this post have been address at people in general, not any specific person. If I am talking to one person in particular I either quote them or add their name to the beginning of the relevant bit. Therefore my comments about name calling and being in an infant school apply to everyone here, not just you. I can assure you that I do not treat people differently depending on how long they have been here, or for any other reason.


Back to everyone: Any more of this and I am going to close this thread. You can reply to my comments if you wish, but otherwise let's get this back on topic please.

In the interest of getting back on topic (that's a hint folks. Get back on topic):


I am reminded of a story I heard concerning a survivor of the Oklahoma City bombing. It seems there is a fairly famous picture connected with that incident that shows a fireman holding a dead infant in his arms with the twisted remains of the federal building behind him. This picture makes the rounds and eventually someone tried to make a buck off it. The survivor was attending some event (memorial I think)one day when she comes across a vendor selling sculptures of the picture. The survivor walks right up to the guy and says Excuse me. Do you realize you are selling sculptures showing my dead infant son being carried away by a firefighter? The guys response is what really makes me remember this. He said No I didn't. Would you like to buy one?
