EA just outsold any previous Medal of Honour with the sheer amount of press this game is getting!

What rubbish! What about the WW2 games? CoD? Where you can play as the Germans? Shouldnt they be banned aswell then? Incase they offend? And 2ndly there are no brits depicted in this game, so whats all the fuss about?

And yet here we are years after playing them and no one said anything. Its a game. Build a virtual bridge and get over it.
