BitMob - Taliban in Medal of Honor: Controversy Based on Misconception.
Yet, in the case of EA’s reboot of Medal of Honor, we have a misconception that we should be able to correct easily. People rankle at the idea of “playing as a Taliban soldier”, but in multiplayer matches that isn’t really an accurate description of what happens. In actuality, the game randomly assigns players to one of two teams. The two sides play identically, and the only real differences are cosmetic or related to objectives in certain modes. In fact, when you play the objective-based modes you automatically switch between American and Taliban, or more accurately, Offense and Defense, at the end of each round.
