< http://firingsquad.gamers.com/news/default.asp#3350 > probably a good idea... also I heard that the terrorists used microsoft's flight simulator to help them train to fly the planes! Posted by Dark-Angel99 on Sep. 13 2001,19:03

ok like i was being surrealistic when i said that playing red alert 2 will never be the same but this is like taking games off the market cos you kill people in them. why dont we ban the game desert strike from being played. i'm all about respect for the dead but whats this going to acheive?but hey i have the game already i think i'll go dishonour the human race by playing a game ------------------ Posted by TheTaxMan on Sep. 13 2001,19:44
No it's not. It's taking a game off the shelves that relives an tragedy. It's a symbolic gesture, and it's a shame you have no grasp on what it really means.------------------ quote: Posted by DuSTman on Sep. 13 2001,20:02
The "capture the WTC" level was crap anyway.

last time i checked the pentagon didnt have prism towers around it. i agree with recalling it to change the cover like they said they're doing though as having a picture of the WTC with holes in it is a bit much but to withhold the game altogether though is a bit much------------------ Posted by madcow on Sep. 13 2001,20:14
I don't care, i've the game anyway!Ripped...So what? Posted by Dark Knight Bob on Sep. 13 2001,20:20
i think i'll stop in at McBurgerKong on my way to take out that psychic transmitter.besides i would think that seeing as the mission with the WTC and pentagon involves you protecting it would give people more of a reason to play it with more intent ------------------ Posted by MagnusB on Sep. 13 2001,20:31
The moment I saw the pictures from the Pentagon, I thought of 1st lev Red Alert 2, Soviet.

Excellent move.I'm sure all here realise that brainwashing is the answer. We all know how fucked up it is, but taking a game off the shelves? Get fucked. They'll be banning CS next... Posted by kornalldaway on Sep. 13 2001,22:48
just wait till that "terrorists win" picture of CS with the WTC gets to some big officials. Valve will be forced to shut down all production of CS and such mods/games!everything is alright till certail limit, but they are starting to cross the line Posted by TheTaxMan on Sep. 14 2001,00:18
It comes to a point where it looks like people are making a game out of others suffering. Would Panzer General have been appropriate the following days after the battle of the buldge (esp. if we lost)? It's good that they took it off for now, and it would be dumb to make a CS mod now.------------------ quote: Posted by CatKnight on Sep. 14 2001,13:22
