An Argentine company has developed a map for the popular online game Counter Strike in which players fight British "terrorists" on the Falkland Islands.

The setting created by Dattatec.com has clocked more than 9,000 downloads in a few hours, after "going viral".

Despite the pro-Argentina stance of the game, the developers say they mean no disrespect.

Argentina claims sovereignty over the Falklands, but last month islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain British.

The game opens with a promotional video that says "in 1982, Argentines fought the English to claim back the sovereignty of the Malvinas" - the Spanish name for the islands.

Just play as the British "terroists", though can we call in a carrier?

And vice versa. I'd be more surprised if they hadn't done it.

I am sure that they will use any historical battle, easy mode, US Marines invading Grenada. 8-)

With it being Counter Strike, I hope the Argentinians get used to hearing "Terrorists win" ;)
