    its not been pulled. only images that were "offensive" to sikhs. it is still quite possible to buy the game.

    anyway this has already been discussed before and everyone agreed it ridiculous.

    maybe we all should call up revolution software and complain about their portrayal of irish people in broken sword?

    No it hasn't been pulled........:rolleyes:

    If you read the statement on the site, it tells you exactly what they are doing

    Eidos Plc is pleased to confirm that it has reached an amicable position with the Sikh Coalition in relation to the changing of certain images and references depicting Sikhs within the game Hitman 2:Silent Assassin which is on general release.

    In recognition of the concerns and sensitivities which have been raised, Eidos and the developers, IO Interactive, have responded in both a socially and commercially responsible manner by:

    removing from the Hitman 2 website all relevant images and content;
    taking steps to amend the game on all existing platforms; and
    adapting the next edition of the game due out for the GameCube platform.
    Eidos and IO Interactive would like to stress that no offence was intended but would like to apologise to the Sikh community and other persons for any offence taken.

    Eidos recognises the value of upholding the Company's good corporate citizenship status and strives to observe high standards of ethical
    behaviour in all its business activities. To that end, the lessons learned from the concerns expressed by the Sikh community will help to ensure that the Company continues to observe and respect cultural, religious and ethical sensitivities in its future products.

    I dont seem to have progressed that far in Hitman2, but there are other games that ive played that have you shooting various nationalites and religions.

    I have the orginal version, so will new patches remove these images from the game.

    Cause i wanna shoot some sikhs

    Same as i wanna shoot Nazi`s in RTCW etc.

    what was wrong with broken sword. It got it right I thought. We all do live in bog holes talk like leprauchans and drink far too much. Can't complain since the game was brilliant and im also too drunk.
