That's kind of a tasteless unlock, no? Glad to see that every death in WWII is now nothing but a stupid little integer counter leading towards a new map. Whoopdeedoo.

It's too bad "6 Days in Fallujah" is in limbo. They could unlock a new hat after 4,296 Americans are killed!

Glad to see historical accuracy in games. Every school child knows that after ~70 million people died in World War 2, a new map was unlocked.

In other news when 86 million people are offended by this news a new game from EA will be unlocked called "Battlefield: Pansies" in which everyone gets offended at something, and no one is happy. W00T!

4,306, as of yesterday.

And yet no where near the amount of American casualties during the four and a half years we fought in WWII, the three years in Korea, and the 10 years in Vietnam. To put it simply, the amount of American causualtes in Iraq could be much, much worse... I'm not saying I'm a fan, I'm saying that sometimes things need to be put into perspective.

Umm, overly sensitive much? It's a game. If you can't separate that from actual history then I suggest you go have yourself checked in at your local mental health facility. Quit your bitching. It's a game. Entertainment. Nothing more. It's not meant to cast a light on the actual events of the time period it's set in, just use the locals and equipment.

And honestly, while the death of any GI is never good, there were wars we fought where we would lose 10 times that in a single battle. Bullet resistant vests and smart bombs have changed the battlefield.

Oh yes, the old "it's just a game" and "it's just entertainment" argument that dismisses everything without saying nothing. Yes, because everything lives in a vacuum free of context and meaning. This fuck your mom simulator? Just a game.

As long as it's just a game and not the real deal, then yeah, it's cool with me. And yes, it does dismiss everything. "Without saying nothing" is a double negative, might want to watch out for those. I mean, it's Battlefield for crying out loud. There's not even a story. It's just a giant ass TDM with some control points thrown in.They aren't using anything from that era other than the equipment and locals. Maybe Halo and Crysis should stop having guns with bullets because it's demeaning to Koreans and the Covenant to be killed. Hell, maybe the Sims should be banned because growing money trees is offensive to the poor. Seriously, grow a pair. It's just a leaderboard. A number. Digital bullets, grenades and people. It's not real people. Digital people =/= real people.

Sounds authentic to me. You fight in one area. People die. You eventually take that land and go to a new area and start all over again.

But it IS just a game. If you are taking these games to mean something beyond what you are playing then you are the exact kind of person that shouldn't play them. I don't understand what exactly you are complaining about its not real.

Had the same problem with a game back in the 80s called D&D, the more things change the more they stay the same ehh.
