EA DICE have given their comments on the controversy surrounding the ability to play as the Taliban against the US Marines in the multiplayer mode of upcoming title Medal of Honor.

The game has come under some fire in the past month or two, with many experiencing the beta released for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. DICE though, who are developing the games multiplayer whilst EA LA works on the single-player, do not think they're pushing any boundaries too hard.

"I think it is a fair point." said producer Patrick Liu, when asked whether statements saying that gamers will feel uneasy playing as Taliban soldiers are fair in the latest issue of PSM3 magazine. "We do stir up some feelings, although it's not about the war, it's about the soldiers."

"We can't get away from what the setting is and who the factions are, but in the end, it's a game, so we're not pushing or provoking too hard."

Whether it will become a huge inconvenience for the game when it comes to sales is still yet to be seen, but it's certainly obvious that some gamers are uncomfortable playing as the Taliban. We'll learn more when the game releases in October for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
