Islamists using video games as propaganda tool
Some technically-minded Islamic folks have created a mod for Battlefield 2 in which US troops are portrayed as the bad guys in a fight against the Islamic ‘n00bs’ protecting their homeland. I guess if US troops can’t be ‘pwned’ on the battlefield, then perhaps video games are the next best alternative. If the game anyway mirrors real life, I bet ‘camping’ is probably high on the list of the Islamic ‘n00bs’ skills.
The US military has been using video games as recruiting/propaganda tools for the last few years with a large degree of success. America’s Army, a game created using the Unreal Tournament 99 game engine has been one of the more popular online games in recent years.
