Repost from the other forum :



As you can see, Russian soldiers are pictured on this photo...info is an advertisement to some game for PS2, that was published in EGM(electronic gaming monthly) Notice the black ribbons on the pics that soldiers are holding, which appear to be the box covers of the game.

Now here is the original...






Those soldiers are The Russian Honour Guard at the funeral of kia troops from "Sofrinskaya" Brigade. They are holding pictures of their fallen comrades that died in Chechnya.


Whoever did that ing advertisement is a complete moron, to say the least. Honestly, this is the first and only thing, which I've seen on the net, that completely pissed me off. Total absence of morals & respect...just how ignorant and arrogant can those s be?! How would the public react if they tried to pull that off with planes sticking out of WTC?! WTF is wrong with people in our days??

The video game industry has reached the lowest ever. Back in the days it was gameplay ... now they reach to a level were they can't make a good games anymore. They decide to make a game like GTA.

THIS TAKES THE ICING OF THE CAKE! NO RESPECT AT ALL!

That's complete and utter disrespect to not only the russian people but to the dead soldiers and their families...

I think its a great ad campaign!
the idea of soldiers holding a game like they would a weapon (you dont normally think of soldiers holding photos) I think its well done.
taking a previsouly taken photo and altering it, w/in that context is pretty shady. Great idea tho!


reading it again, I realize its not an ad campaign, and doubtfull that the ppl @ SOCOM had anything to do with it.
its a guide put together for stupid people who can figure out how to pass the game.
