Even if i were a homosexual i would have to see the humor in the acronym...But luckily im not gay so i suppose i am not as prone to getting my feelings hurt and whining like a little girl.
 
I'm gay and I think it's funny. I am so sick of people saying it's offensive who aren't even a member of whatever group the joke is about. It's always some group of people with nothing better to do than to try and tell other people what they should find offensive. People really need to stop taking themselves so seriously. "We'll never get to the point where we're all on the same page because SOMEBODY is always reading ahead. You can't laugh when we make fun of everyone else, and then get offended when your number comes up!" --Frank Kramer of the Frosty, Heidi and Frank radio show.

Only fags throw random grenades.

I'm more of a bolt action rifle and auto shotgun guy myself.
Great ad on their behalf, and I hope to see more like it.
 
What's really offensive is that Cole Hamels has the nerve to tell me not to throw random grenades when he has been doing it from the mound all year. No one knows where that guys pitches are going to end up.
 
This add is obviously a HUGE Succes.
I used to play CS and obviously those games all have name calling involved and dearest comrade is one of the popular one.

F.A.G.S did get my attention, I think it was rather clever really and the ad was quite entertaining.Everyone who complained simply aided to make more publicity... I did not think of this game at all... and here I am posting a comment related to it.
 
Sorry should have reread...
dearest comrade is indeed a popular swear in videogames of such ,unfortunately... I do like the more mature respectful players over the bunny hopping swearing kiddies.

Also, if F.A.G.S is Fighting Against Grenade Spam... that means Fags is used in a good way to begin with... Very cleaver... offensive or not, it did get way more attention then expected...
 
Here's my two cents. I have never considered dearest comrade to be gay but more of an attitude. You got a certain attitude well your a dearest comrade and that is what I think was the purpose behind this video. If you just go around just randomly throwing grenades, well your a dearest comrade. So I say yea to F.A.G.S.
 
I am so offended over this I plan on doing to things.
First, I will not buy this game. There is no place for political correctness in video games.
Second I plan on kicking a dearest comrade later today. Just because the fags shouldn't be complaining about stupid shit like this.
 
[citation][nom]XZaapryca[/nom]Let's get this straight. Only jokes about whites and fatties (or both) are acceptable. Ever get the impression that the world is now full of people who are only "offended" because it's possible to be so (possibly profiting)? It's not that they really care, but they can act like total a-holes and get away with it because they're "offended".Fat White Guy[/citation]

Yeah, and speaking of spam...anyone noticed the spam wallpaper all over the TH front page for that Dragon game?

Maybe us fat white guys can start a group called Fight Against Tom's Spam, or F.A.T.S.

 
The hell with the Ad. ! How would a honest player make a "Killing" if everyone around him is using "Wall Hacks", "No recoil", "No Spree", "Chams", "Aim Bot" and "Glitches"? Only thing left to "Score" is to actually try and trow that 'nade anywhere (If one manages to stay alive before some 11 year old spawn killer gets him)..... *sigh*
 
That's one funny video. Can't wait for the game. If IW had intentionally placed the acronym in the video that would have been one thing, but it was never mentioned. They should put that video back up. It seems some people look for hidden truth and meaning in everything...oh wait, O.I.L. :)
