Army of Two uses 9/11 imagery

The latest trailer of EA's military shooter Army of Two, which will be released for PS3 and 360 on 16 November, opens with footage taken from the 9/11 terror attack, showing smoke bellowing from one of the World Trade Center towers.

A 2006 press release stated that Army of Two "will throw gamers into hot spots ripped from current day headlines" and having the opening cinematic begin with the events of 9/11, it certainly seems intent on living up to that premise.

For a war game thats a good thing.

[InMyOpinion]

Yeah, blame an entire ethnic group of people! All arabs and muslims are mentally deranged! Fundamental christians who put profit in favor of human lives is much better! Have you ever thought of what triggered them to do it? I guess your answer to that would be "They are evil".

Anywho, the trailer was'nt as tasteless as I had expected, but still I think it's sad that they have to highlight such a tragic event in order to get publicity.

[V2oom]

Who said i was on the side of christians.
All religions are evil, they should all be outlawed.
People who put faith above reason have no place in this century.

People who believe in God are stupid, and people who support people who believe in God are just as bad.

[MyNutsYourChin]

I agree, Jenzo. It wasn't as tasteless as I expected it to be.

On the other hand, V2oom's statement was very tasteless and immature. It's still a mystery to me how ignorant people can be, especially when they are as adament as V2oom about declaring reason over religion. Shouldn't an individual who thinks reason is superior act a little more reasonable and mature?

[V2oom]

I hear what you say.
However religious people are incapable of reasoned discussion.
If they applied reason to their thinking then they wouldn't be religious.

Religion is ruining this world.

[InMyOpinion]

True indeed. Bush is a newborn christian, he believes earth was created by god and that we are born either good or evil. He's just as much a fanatic as the terr'sts, the difference being that he has the power to control the fate of a nation (and even more). Politics + religion don't mix well, unfortunately they are hard to separate.

I'd say fanaticism (both religious and political) and greed is what's destroying the world. Greed probably has the upper hand.

[MyNutsYourChin]

Religious fanatics are ruining this world, not religion. Ignorance is ruining this world, not religion. People who fall to immorality, irresponsibility, arrogance, greed, lust, sloth, choose your vice, these people are the ones ruining this world, not religion.

Consequently, not only your comments against religion but also people who take aggressive action against religious communities or influence others to do so are also aiding the demise of culture and social substance. Please become more aware of the difference between the reality that you think exists (the one that surrounds you) and the reality that truly exists.

There's a much bigger picture than the one you are trying to draw with your argument for reason.

Please note, I'm not arguing against reason, I am arguing for it but also for the infinitely diverse and numbered other aspects of reality that one sees when dissolving her/his innately restricted and limited perceptions.

[V2oom]

All religious people are fundamentalists. One or the corner stones of religion is obeying your chosen text without question.

Societies which are more secular have greater morality, are more responsible, have lower crime rates and lower suicides. Because they dont believe there is a better life waiting for them after death, they care more about the life they are living right now.

You mention greed like its a bad thing.
Greed is what motivates people. Without greed we wouldn't have nuclear power, computers, space fight, LCD televisions, 360's and PS3's.

Would you prefer to live in a medieval feudal society?
Religion stifles development. Religion is designed to keep the masses subservient.
Its something that should have abolished along with slavery.

[MyNutsYourChin]

Your ignorance to truth and compassion is not surprising. You must be from the US. I'm finished arguing with you and your closed-minded foolishness. Open your eyes, move out of your stereotyped reality, and get an education.

[V2oom]

You must be real dumb if you think i'm from america.
America and its right wing religious zealots are almost as big a problem to society as the muslims.

I live in a country torn apart by religious divides. I've seen it first hand on my door step. And unfortunately its getting worse.
You must live in a magical land surrounded by cotton wool where you isolated from what is really happening. (i'm guessing Belgium)

Opinions like yours are what have held the world back over the last 15 years. But thankfully moderate people have reached saturation point with all the troubles and are beginning to speak out and be heard.

Your the type of person that would have said the Nazis don't mean any harm in 1938.

[MyNutsYourChin]

I thought I'd have nothing more to say but your ignorance and arrogance are just so appalling... Now you're attacking the whole community of Muslims? You have a serious mental problem, boy. This is my last reply...

Considering you're ignored by 20 people and tracked by zero, I'm going to assume, and rightly so, that you are a liar. It's very easy to say you're not from a specific place when you never state your location, such as putting it in your profile. Consequently, your statement, "...I live in a country torn apart by religious divides. I've seen it first hand on my door step. And unfortunately its getting worse..." is an exaggeration. If this was true you wouldn't be online at a gaming website arguing with a physicist/philosopher about the enigmatic problems of social and cultural divides in the modern world. You are a fool, and one that can be heard kilometers away. You insult me with your flawed logic and your pathetic lies.

Additionally, you are a hypocrite. Claiming that fundamentalism is a problem and then further acting in a fundamentalist manner by attacking religion shows your lack of awareness to your own argument. Consider yourself ignored by another user on N4G.

[KoolMan]

LoL I can already see Jack coming to town

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Agreed, that test tube baby just got some more ammo against our games. I don't agree with any world trade center addition. It is a negative experience for anyone especially us Americans.

[JPomper]

What about Pearl Harbor? Hiroshima? Nagasaki? Normandy? Are any of those events less tragic?

There's countless footage and locations from world tragedies that are used for not only video games, but pretty much every other aspect of electronic entertainment. It's nothing new.

[InMyOpinion]

American lives are worth 2 times more than other persons lives. That's why.

[crazyman]

Are you really so retarded that you actually believe that, if so I feel sorry for you.

[SmokeyMcBear]

jenzo.. uhhh.. pearl harbor and normandy involved.. many.. many american lives.. more than the events of 9/11. So uh, try another way to be stupid

[codeazrael]

If you guys are prepared for the truth.

[codeazrael]

If you thought "The Matrix" was just a movie, get ready to unplug.

"Watching this video is like being bukakked with stupid."
Couldn't have said it better.
Also: http://www.thebestpageinthe...

[P4KY B]

I did watch the whole film.

Some of what they show as evidence is laughable to anyone with an ounce of scientific knowledge.

And if anyone thinks i'm an American hater, let me tell you. I have a 6 foot by 5 foot picture of the world trade centre hanging in my livingroom.

[Rooted_Dust]

I would rather you have a 6" X 5" copy of the Constitution in your living room, because if the perpetrators of the attack wanted to destroy America, they are succeeding. It's amazing how we know Bush is a mental midget and a pathological liar, but when it comes to 9/11 we say "No, he would never lie about that.".

[codeazrael]

you have to watch the whole video. Loose change is about one and a half hours and you can easily find it on youtube by searching for that title and you can watch and download zeitgeist at zeitgeistmovie.com

I wasnt expecting to find this stuff...........I guess it just found me.

[HeartlesskizZ]

im goint to watch later

[codeazrael]

this is that part in the movie where Morpheus offers Neo the red or blue pill..........be sure you are really up for this before you watch.

[sajj316]

Its time for us as society to move on. I work in NYC. We still remember but we have moved on.

[HeartlesskizZ]

Ok I watch some not all. so there was explotions b4 the fall of the buildings. so who did this? I always knew it was not a terrorist attack but I want to know the true.. What the video show about religion, how is that related to WTC?

[HungryHooligan]

A couple a thousand americans died compared to millions of africans. trust me worse things have happened!

What Jay says below
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

[jay3]

God...

While 9/11 was obviously tragic, people need to get over it.

Worse things have happened. America isn't the only country in the world.

[Meus Renaissance]

I agree. 9/11 was a tragedy but people are acting like it was doomsday. What America did in Iraq is 10 times worst. Millions dead and homeless but we're always on about 9/11. There is a world out there!

[MyNutsYourChin]

Indeed, there is a world out there and more people need to become aware of it. Instead of listening to friends, TV, bigot family members, whoever or whatever, people need to do their own research and STUDY if they want to know the truth. An education is worth far more than an opinion.

To quote an already tired similie, opinions are like a*sholes, everyone's got one.

[prayforjoejoe]

Just watch the History channels program where they bring on several head writers from popular mechanics to answer the claims of the conspiracy theorists. First off I will say this much, I watched the Loose Change movie about a year ago, and quite honestly I found myself being swept up in the notion of the government orchestrating this attack. But frankly, I honestly don't believe a lot of it anymore. When you watch the video, remember to ask yourself, where is the physical evidence of this? Most of the time, all the claims are based on hearsay and conjecture. Look you all know the story, people see a lot of things that aren't there, sometimes, they see things that are there but they believe them to be some sort of sinister plot against this country. Take that white plane that flew over the white house right after the pentagon got hit, according to flight records that day, it was a military plane on a training mission, it had nothing to do with any bombs or bombing. And as far as that explosions crap, look, when you have thousands upon thousands of pounds falling down on top of each other, no doubt some of those struts that are holding up the building are going to blow and all that kinetic energy built up is going to blow out some windows.

Its clear as day people: we faced an enemy on 9/11, but we haven't fought them yet...Be more angry at your government for not fighting the real terrorists.

[Rooted_Dust]

I don't know if you could classify me as a conspiracy theorist, but I know that it is fairly obvious that we still don't have full or even 50% disclosure on the events of September 11th. Concentrating on one specific theory is counter productive. If we want to know the truth, surprisingly some don't, we need to demand a fully independent investigation into the events of that day, without any government interference. Don't believe anyone's story, not the media's, not the governments, not conspiracy theorists, and definitely not George "The Decider" Bush. Seek your own truth. The first step is always "Cui bono?", "Who benefits?". You might not like what you find, but that's often where the dirt trail ends.

[codeazrael]

First off, for the ones saying that they live in NYC and that they have moved on, this ain't just about you, so get over yourself, and you're a moron for "moving on" without getting answers. Now, for the slew of naysayers that always follow, there is one guy who says that alot of evidence in loose change is hearsay........really? So I was just imagining an untouched lawn at the pentagon where a big @ss plane skid across it, and I am imagining a hole in the pentagon before it collapsed that was waaaay too small for an aircraft that big, and I guess I am also imagining all of the PROOF, not hearsay that is readily available today. And if this is b.s. then why did the government confiscate video from nearby businesses that caught everything on camera? Do not be fooled by these phoneys who just want you to move on with your life without demanding resolve about this tragedy. And for a "New Yorker" to say they have moved on is an example of how selfish alot of people are. We owe it to the families as well as the ones who were in those buildings time out of our "busy" schedules about flaming each other over video games or whatever to do something about this before it happens again. And BTW, I as well know that this does not come close to comparing with places like Africa and Iraq, but remember, it is because of 9/11 that there is this mess with Iraq. I ask you.........I implore you to tune out everyone else's view on this subject and view these videos for yourself, research them, and then form your own opinion.

[reaferfore20]

Just out of curiousity did you read the article that I posted in reply to your first post about Loose Change? I've watched the video and I think it's ridiculous how many sheeple are buying into this bullsh!t.
My opinion is based on FACTS. If you want the facts feel free to read up on these wonderful point by point analysis' of the World Trade Center Attacks.

Why do the research when someone else has already done it for you? All you have to do is read it.
