Hello I was online and saw that not only has someone made claims that ISIS has made this game, but they also are saying you are recruiting children to the real life war effort through this game, and I thought you might want to know.

Figured I would give you all a heads up, because with the currant state of things in the world this could hurt your sales, and make people around the world hate you for nothing but lies. Good luck

Here is my post trying to bring some resolve to the matter

Old news. As I've said in most other IS themed addons:

I wouldn't worry about all this. As most Brits are aware, the Daily Mail (and now similar that have picked up on this) is a load of sensationalised rubbish, and rarely contains any actual factual information in their so called "news" articles. They've based this article on minimal fact, probably seeing the screenshots for these mods and jumping to ridiculous conclusions.

They're not claims, or allegations, it's made up nonsense. Think about it logically, if you wanted to recruit some one to fight for you would you use ArmA? If anything it would be an eye-opener to how dangerous combat really is and if anything would hinder your chances.

It's simple - it was a slow news day about IS, some troll at the Daily Fail Googled IS, saw ArmA mods in the images and made up a story, and now more rubbish online "news" organisations have jumped on the bandwagon.

Agreed, besides IS would prolly run into police or service men on here and they would be reported and shut down fast I'm sure. However, it could hurt their sails, so it might be something they should know. I know if I was the target I'd sue for damages and then put it into the game.

All the addon threads have been overwhelmed with posts about this nonsense already. I'm sure BI is aware of it, all this started nearly 2 weeks ago so I don't think it was worth putting up another thread about.

Please close thread and delete it. This is foolishness, no one needs to click on this to give those shitty lowlife media fails a salary. It's just another mod, with another enemy face. Let's pretend like that media thing doesn't even exist. <.<
