Can I play as an guerilla/insurgent/"terrorist"?

[NoxNoctum 10]

LOL I love all the people insunating shit about this guy just because he wants to play as a terrorist. Dumbasses. Move to Germany, the land of politically correct bullshit (at least when it comes to games... they're totally fine having porn all over the place ;))

IT'S A GAME! And guess what, ambushing conventional forces as a crazed Islamic jihadist is a GREAT GAME EXPERIENCE !

And to the topic starter, check out Project Reality, there's a whole game mode dedicated to this kind of gameplay. You can plot IED ambushes and ruthlessly destroy humvees and strykers to your heart's content. You can even control a bombcar with built in Jihadist music playing over the radio (not kidding).

And yes it's a blast---pun intended ;).

You can play as anything. A pilot, machinegunner, prostitute, soldier, tanker, marine, russian, civilian, NAPA, chedaki, CDF, freedom fighter, dog, rabbit, cow, pig, whatever.

everyone bitching about people wanting to do " terrorist" missions are retards , probably the same bastards who would trade safety for freedom in a heartbeat..i can make a mission where I make everyone on the map of one race, or from one country, and go kill them all, you don't have to play that if you don't want to. I cannot abide by people wanting to limit the editor or complain if someone wants to put their ideas into action.

I don't think that people object to that.

I think that people object to the childish tone of the original post.

This thread is epic.

@ The OP : You can do just about anything with the mission editor.

Concerning the terrorist vs freedom fighter debate : IMO, A terrorist is someone who uses acts of violence against anyone and everyone (including civilians) in order to instill fear to achieve their goal. A freedom fighter is someone who uses acts of violence against government forces/military forces (who are oppressing the civilian population) in order to achieve their goal (which is to make the quality of life for the civilian population better).

The lines get blurred though when you have reprisals against the civilian population or the "freedom fighters/terrorists/resistance" starts targeting civilian collaborators/traitors etc (like what happened all over the place during World War 2). You can bet your ass the Germans were labeling the French resistance movement as "terrorist activity", especially if said movement was killing Frenchmen (which they did).

There are no clear lines as far as I'm concerned, it's totally your point of view

In Iraq for example, the terrorists/freedom fighters are targeting civilians as well as US military, for example Iraqi cops, Iraqis who were trying to vote, women who are going to school etc. All messed up stuff from our perspective, but from their perspective these are people who are violating God's law+helping the infidel invaders and thus deserve to be killed.

Totally NOT justifying their actions but I'm just saying... think about it.

True. But you also have to take into account the Iraqi freedom fighters/guerrillas/insurgents that AREN'T targeting civilians (even if they're a minority).
