As you can see, this is a piece run in Electronic Gaming Monthly covering Socom II. The picture is of Russian soldiers holding copies of the game. Take note of the black cloth ribbons wrapped on the bottom left of the boxes.

Now, here is the real picture:

The pictures the soldiers are actually holding are of fallen Russian soldiers of the Sofrinskaya brigade, killed in action fighting the war in Chechnya.

I am very upset about this. It is a horrible mockery of values that should not be tampered with; an absence of respect for the dead almost completely, used to advertise a video game.

If you have something to say, say it here.

Any thoughts?

how do you know it is real ?

if both images were taken form the internet ?
with computers today you can easily do everything !
i say yes, it is a mockery that shouldn't be... but that is if it is real, tell us the source of your pictures cause i doubt any magasine, or any game companies to have done such a stupid thing, they are better then that. and i even more doubt the game to have such a stupid MENU BACKGROUND !

so really, is that even real !

Still, whether it real or fake..I can see how its mocking Russia and its soilders..sides..if it was meant to be funny..its not..

if its real, and the game magazine knew what it was originally, then that's truly sad.

LOL egm......I get that......:P

SSJKarma · 01-21-2004, 09:52 PM

i cannot agree more on that marve|, but seriously, we all know here that stupid morons that likes to make fun of real things exists and will always be.

what i'm saying is that i doubt it to be a real MAGASIN or GAME COMPANY image, they knowbetter and have better taste picture wise !

see, i'm saying that it is disrespectfull, but the question i'm asking is, is it the pity and flaming we'll give to the poor child who was so moronic has to create such a photo ?

i say yes, let's flame him bad and then go onto another point !
