How serious or effective do you all think this is? Personally I don't think it's going to make a big difference in the long run but it's interesting to see how jihadi tactics have evolved over the years. Something like this would have been remarkable not too long ago but now this kind of technology is nearly ubiquitous around the world.

Now this really is rotten to the core. Using video games to recruit children, there are no limits to this groups depravity. Still, I doubt it will make a difference. The graphics are terrible for a start...

This is quite awful. It shows the lengths ISIS is going to take in order to get what they want.

It really quite ironic how ISIS is trying to emulate American games.

It look like they have some skilled people helping them with their outreach. The graphics for the game don't look bad.

I think it is going to be just as effective as No Russian was at making people shoot up airports.

This looks like Grand theft auto ISIS style and I am amazed they wold even join them watching this nothing in it is appealing and some of the children may be misguided into thinking they are heroes. It is pretty bad too see, the way the ISIS will go to recruit children and may even promise better life and freedom from the world and rule with them. These people are not role models just about violence would use others as shields and not use their own body to protect the person.

What better way to get the fan boys out of their fantasy and make them do it in real life? They are obviously targeting the ones who play these violent video games and some where in them is that little need to maybe do what they do in the game in real life. They use social media and video games to attract the teens and young adults.
