MULTI Seven Navy SEALs in Hot Water for Involvement with Medal of Honor

[manigamer]

A group of U.S. Navy SEALs are facing administrative punishment for their involvement in the development of military shooter Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

Some of the SEALs that acted as consultants for the EA game have been docked half their pay for two months and were issued letters of reprimand. The group of experts consisted of seven soldiers; some active duty, some veterans.

According to the the Department of Defense, the men divulged classified information while consulting on the game. They also allegedly violated an unwritten code that “SEALs are silent warriors who shun the spotlight.”

No details were released by the U.S. Department of Defense or EA about the classified information that the group of soldiers may have shared.

We’ve reached out to EA for comment; we’ll let you know what we hear.

Still curious about how the game turned out, despite all the drama? Take a look at the GameTrailers review…


Medal of Honor: Warfighter is available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

“SEALs are silent warriors who shun the spotlight.”

Cuz if the truth came out. American values of freedom, respect and rule of law are as fragile as Jennifer Aniston's commitments.

Lets hope its not a publicity stunt to keep the game in the news.

Because a lot of these incidents are preplanned by the powers that be to keep their products in the publics attention.

Call it secret advertising/marketing,these guys would go to any length to achieve their goal.

Nah I don't think so, cuz they're involving the department of defense. I don't think any government authority would sacrifice its image for a 60 dollar gme

Bro these 6o$ games are the main recruiting mediums for the USarmy.

You remember the American footballer Pat Tillman who left his professional career and enlisted in the United States Army and got shot by friendly fire,he had said he joined army for the adventure.

The US.ministry of defence is the biggest purchaser of these army games in the world.

Warfighter had one message on its loading screen saying that in Pakistan reckless driving is punishable by a Rs. 1000 /$ 18 fine but spying for a foreign country is punishable by death.
Now it comes back to bite them the new loading screen should be, for the US army, killing civilians is punishable by a stern talking to, leaking some small details of your work to a video game company(that is unintentionally making propaganda because of it) is actually punishable.
I have never been happier to see a game crash and burn as much as I was when Warfighter failed.

The fact that they pin pointed Pakistan as the only country that does it. Though US laws are much harsher about drunk driving.

I think it was a good thing to highlight. That law makes sense.
