Mock the Medal of Honor box art and this man may kill you

by David Hinkle on Dec 3rd 2009 5:00PM

It seems the cover star for EA reboot Medal of Honor bears quite a resemblance to a real-life military man -- and not the fictional lumberjack uncle we like to think resides in every Canadian family. Life did a feature on the armed forces in Afghanistan back in 2002, and one of the individuals (codenamed "Cowboy") highlighted in several photos (via UGO) seems to match the one highlighted on the FPS cover.

EA did mention working closely with "Tier 1 Operators from the US Special Operations Community," so it seems possible that the main character could be inspired by (if not actually based on) Mr. Cowboy. We've contacted EA to get some intel on this. We'll let you know, if we haven't been taken out for yesterday's ZZ Top joke.

That is NOT someone you want to mess with.

Does look pretty similar, though.

Fancy seeing you h.... Wait.....

*checks 'Give a shit' meter*

Nope. Didn't break the 'two shits' threshold.

I'm just going to keep commenting, you know. It's not like I'm off topic.

Darth, enough man. Just stop.

Don't comment on Joystiq for a day. How about that? I challenge you.

People need to leave Darth alone. He's not like Killjebus or even tmac at his worst.

Why the hell does it matter if I comment? Is it off topic? No?

Then it shouldn't matter.

I fail to see why you were downvoted. People crabby today about the cost of holiday shopping?

@Electro Poof
Come on, he can't even go an hour without commenting.

I don't get it, why the downvote? Jeez, nice community Joystiq has here.

There is a group of people determined to 'punish' and 'educate' me for excessive posting.

You heard that correctly. People saying 'you have no life' attacking someone by downvoting their every post.

See what you made me do Darth?

I didn't want to start a defense force against you man, but you are out of control.

No need to repeat myself. I point you to the second post I made on this thread.

@Electro Poof
What? I just made an Anti-Bradwart Attack Force.

You all make me chuckle. It's not going to work. You have no idea who you're dealing with.

@AppleBanana

We can join forces comrade.

Darth must be stopped!

So while I do think Darth's commenting so frequently is peculiar, I kinda have to agree with him that it doesn't deserve all this hate. So what if trolling Joystiq is what he likes to spend his day doing. I think if it irritates you, it's your problem, not his. Cause until you guys called him out, he was on topic.

Darth is good people.

Let him be, folks. It's not as if he's causing a disruption.

Just...

You know, commenting on a freakin' blog.

Sheesh.

Oh no! We're dealing with THE DARK LORD OF THE SITH!!!! What ever will we do?

Really this act has gone way too far. It's time to put an end this crap.

How is me being the "Dark Lord of the Sith" any different from Captain Planet, Peter Moore, Bobby Kotick, or the rest of the gang that plays 'in character'?

Uhh, because they actually play it right. You on the other hand don't seem like a "Dark Lord of the Sith."

Sorry, but you sir have failed.

You must not have seen very many of my posts.

When I'm not having to defend myself from sheer stupidity such as this, I generally fry people, make comments about the glory of the Sith Empire, use my lightsaber, etc.

"When I'm not having to defend myself from sheer stupidity such as this, I generally fry people, make comments about the glory of the Sith Empire, use my lightsaber, etc".

Hahaha. You're a funny guy.

Funny coming from a guy named "Teh Tr0LL."

All of yall STFU
cuz Im back

downvotes............

FOR EVERYONE!!!!

I don't know what he's done wrong in the past,
but if you downvoted that comment then yer a tool

@Darth Bradwart:

Personally I think, "You have no idea who you are dealing with," is the line of the day.

+1. Laughed out loud a second time in a quiet office setting.

That's part of my mission. I like to make people laugh (not a lot to laugh about these days, with the busted economy.)

When did Joystiq become full of douche bags? And no, I'm not talking about Darth.

Punish trolls when they're trolling. Don't punish people for commenting with relevance on a post. It doesn't fucking matter how many posts they do.

Grow up, kids.

Darth's comments are as on-topic as anybody else's. If he has a genuine interest in contributing to the Joystiq community, let him. His Superfluous Joystiq Commenting gives me something to read while I'm at work and has on more than one occasion brought out a chuckle.

+1, sir, +1

Personally, I don't think it's possible for Darth to be just one man. I think many people are behind the name. It's a huge conspiracy! And Peter Moore is in on it! AHHHH!

Alright listen you mother fuckers, as long as Darth is under my protection, you little rat fuck son of a bitches need to relax. I didn't make him an honorary Planeteer for nothing.

I just want to know where he works so I can apply.

Tee hee hee

Hilarious. This is the funniest thread I've ever read on Joystiq. Grown men (or not) spending all day arguing about something that means jack shit. It reminds me of when I stumbled onto a Lord of the RIngs forum wear they were having a heated debate over who would win in a fight - Aragorn or Boromir. LOL, what a bunch of dorks.

How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Darth after all he has been through.!

He lost his aunt, he went through a divorce. He had two fuckin kids.

His husband turned out to be a user, a cheater, and now he's going through a custody battle. All you people care about is….. readers and making money off of him.

HE’S A HUMAN! (ah! ooh!) What you don’t realize is that Bradwart is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.

He hasn’t performed on stage in years. His song is called “give me more” for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!.

LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are lucky he even performed for you BASTARDS!
LEAVE BRADWART ALONE!…..Please.

Perez Hilton talked about professionalism and said if Bradwart was a professional he would’ve pulled it off no matter what.

Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time.

Leave Bradwart Alone Please…. !
Leave Darth Bradwart alone!…right now!….I mean it.!

Anyone that has a problem with him you deal with me, because he is not well right now.

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

You're all fucking annoying as hell.

what is this i don't even

@Captain Planet

Priceless.

look at what you did AppleBanana, in your effort to reduce the number of posts on joystiq, you wasted an entire fucking page with this bullshit. At least Darth is always on fucking topic

Downvote mania? New game from Joystiq?

1st day buy

D A D ???

I liked it better when I thought it was Santa.

Yeah a Santa that will kick your freaking ass.

There's already a Santa that will kick your ass

...or gun you down rather!

That guy could never be anyone's father because he's such a badass, when he gets around women their eggs crack with fear.

Commander: Ok sargeant, here's your stack that needs delivery in South Colombia
Sargeant: Mmmmmm, chritsmas came early this year
Commander: And your the man to make the delivery

If his beard was a bit grayer, he might look like Scruffy the Janitor.

Second. ;)

Scruffy didn't have no beard. Scruffy had a moustache. Scruffy is offended that you think Scruffy had a beard.
