This video is of the game Medal of Honor: Frontline which is based on World War II. The opening video displays the events of D-Day while storming the beaches on Normandy. This game like the game Six Days in Falujah that was discussed in class is based on real wartime events. It is ridiculous to think that the production of these types of games are considered a disgrace to the honor of those who actually fought in the wars or more importantly that they could be considered as tools that train children and young adults to be soldiers and how to kill people. These games are produced with the same intentions as music videos with sexual content are, to make money, not to train kids or to degrade women. Those behind making these things are simply giving the people what they want.

I can see where people believe that it's a discrace to make a GAME out of a battle where lives were lost, but I do think that game developers dont intentionally make for that. It's more to honor those though fought, lost their lives and to teach others about it. I watched the clip and saw that it was pretty intense, although I did wonder if the player would ever get shot, because he had many close calls, but nothing struck him that I saw. But this is definately NOT a training video.
