I think that devs went trought about it before here in the forums. Religious related stuff are not cool for gaming.

By the way, Allah ahkbar means "Got is great" and not go go go.

Not worth the effort of putting this in, and like Romagnolo put it doesn't even mean go go go.

Ive suggested the same thing before :P they wont do it cause it might cause to many issues with people, etc.
i think its a good suggestion. I mean, its project reality... in reality, insurgents in the middle east are islamic and fight for their religion...
like the brits prob scream god save the queen with a jdam drops..
or marines yell hoorah when they call in a cobra strike.

The phrase is referred to as the Takbir and may be used by Arabic-speaking forces as a battle-cry.

I don't see why not. Like REad says, may be used by arabic-speaking forces as a battle cry. It would be uncalled for if it was used as a.. seems I forgot the word. Means "To poke fun at" anyway.

Say it via VOIP, so the enemy can't hear you. By the way when you implement this in the game it will get some problems with some organisations when it gets noticed.

I disagree with this suggestion 100% as you get lots of people just typing it in CAPITAL LETTERS quite frequently on insurgency, having people now Spam this using the Commo Rose will just be tooo annoying.

as has been said in the treads i linked to.

"Insergent forces do not ally themsleves to religions, also PR does not want to portray religion in such a manner."

here we go
Was discussed on the Dev boards a while back. Was decided that it was too sensitive to add in. Don't forget that its a general Muslim phrase and is not used exclusively by insurgents.

We are not here to offend anyone, and since its a sensitive issue we will steer clear of it for now.

Well, what about something to put in when you have your knife/bayonet?
Like, when a USMC player has his knife/bayonet out you can use the commo rose key and it will say "battlecry" and you may hear "HOORAH!!" or something simmilar.
Maybe that can make it less sensitive?
