Medal of Honor is just another shooter following today's trends, trying to differentiate itself from other's by claiming to be authentic.

The miscommunication is simply that Greg uses the term authentic by the means of having the origin supported by unquestionable evidence; authenticated; verified. Where as Tom is attempting to define authentic as being; not false or copied; genuine; real: an authentic simulator.

The point is a game is built for entertainment value, and to make sales. That's why Greg is a developer, and Tom is an editorialist. Both men have good points, but at the end of the day who is really making sense here? Its a game, a product, not a simulation used to train our military.
