Recently we brought a story where according to the U.S. Government, Al-queda used Battlefield 2 to create mods and videos for recruiting new members. It has turned out that the video was just a fan video made by player “SonicJihad”. Still, it isn’t the first time a game is used for political purposes, just look at Americas Army, it’s just as much propaganda as anything else in its category.
