While I think it is a great Mod and will contiune to play it, I am concerned about the introduction of the Faction "Taliban". I kinda cringe to think what next they will seek to add.
While I understand that there is a big difference between Germans and Nazis in BF 1942, and the context of history in relation to the Viet Cong in BF Vietnam, I cannot help thinking some line has been crossed by the PR Modders in their Creative zeal and oversight, in sensationalising a currently proscribed and terrorist organisation.
Why they didn't just leave it as "Insurgent" or even give it another fictitious name analogus to "MEC".
We must remember at all times that although there are a considerable number of gamers, there are more non gamers like parents and bureacrats that can put a dampener on a lot of things that we gamers know are just creative expression. Or use to deny access to potential top notch team players.
To that effect I personally think there should be some limitations on naming conventions of factions.
I remember the furore when Special Forces was under the spotlight. It went away because there as a lot of thought put into the generic presentation of the controvesial factions like the insurgents.
Please Note: I am not at all PC on this issue.
I will still continue to play the Mod as I enjoy the game play and the teamwork it engenders. It is just in this current incarnation I cannot enthusiastically recommend it to others.
