Im om with a litle gore here and there in games but what really matters is who the person being shot the bits
As some of you may know a leaked and confirmed as actual game play footage came out revealing a level were the player is playing as a terrorist gunning down civilians at an airport.Now this isn't the first time that MW2 has started controversy earlier a trailer titled infamy showed a destroyed out Washington D.C under attack.
This is just outrageous and shouldn't be done
luckily most videos of it have been removed and IFW is giving you the option to skip the level

Not really. It's sounds like an innovative idea for the story. Kind of like in the first one where you see through the eyes of the condemned president.

Also playing a terrorist isn't anything new. Counter-Strike the terrorists objective is to either blow something up or to hold people hostage.

It just sounds like Infinity Ward is raising the bar when it comes to a single-player experience.
 
Why would people wanna skip it? I guess some think it's offensive.

In Battlestations Pacific you play has the Japanese bombing Pearl, but it's still a fun game regardless. And Fallout 3 shows Washington D.C in ruins. So, what's the problem here?
 
if you saw the video you would understand
You just walk up to a security checkpoint packed wit h people with a SAW machine gun and mow them down
 
I don't see what the problem is with this. There are a lot of games with D.C being attack or US grounds get attack.
 
I'm disappointed with this, I was expecting something actually disappointing like them saying they still refuse to give us dedicated servers...

If your complaining about killing civilians as "Going to far" then you haven't seen a lot of games, this isn't anything new. Grand Theft Auto defines killing civilians and it's been around for quite awhile now.
 
I cant find it. They have set a copyright claim on everyone that i try to look at. I still dont understand why everyone is making a big deal out of it. I mean no one is getting hurt or killed its a virtual game get over it. No one really made a big deal about the execution in the first game. I mean honestly. Nothing to get upset over here.

Ok Ive seen it. And honestly, You guys are making a big deal out of this when Grand Theft Auto Has been allowing the same thing for a while now. Get over yourselves. Its not like we are going to see this and say "Hey lets get some guns and go mow down a bunch of civilians in an airport.". Seriously this is being blown out of proportion. At least IW is giving you the option to skip it that way if people get mad because they "had" to play through it they cant blame IW. It will be their own faults because they chose to play that scene.

This is actually a good thing, maybe if they show the atrocities of terrorism to people even more will act out against it.

Who cares if it is distasteful, if it gets you to act then the artist has succeeded.
 
There isn't a big problem here. Not as big as no Dedicated Servers. Have you ONLY been playing CoD games or something? CS:S has terrorists. Fallout 3 is Washington in a nuclear disaster. Why are you getting riled up over this? It's rated M for a reason.
 
Well I guess it's pretty much to get you a bit deeper in the game, but I still get your point, but look sometimes you need to be on the bad guys team to understand a bit more the depth of the situation.... remember splinter cell double agent...
 
It's def intense.
And real touchy subject.

But i mean,
This isnt the first time sumthin like this has been put out.
In any GTA game you can run around mindlessly killing anyone you want,
Cops, Hookers, Old laddies, Whatever.

Just now with terrorism as big of a subject as it is,
i think it just hits alot more people close to home.

I can see what your saying though,
the whole "Violent gaming=murder simulator" thing.
It's rated M for a reason,
So that impressionable children can't play the game.
But alot of parents these days think thats to much to ask.
That games schould be regulated all toghter.
It's the parents responsibility to have the say in weather their kid can play these types of games or not.
 
There are air ports in grand theft auto....walk in blow away people in line. How is that any different than this? If you have such a big issue, than just don't buy the game.
 
Is also an atrocity that the Hunted is a civilian that gets gang murdered every round...

Atrocious.
 
in comand and conquer red alert 2 u take out the pentagon so i dont see the big deal in it its a game and that is enough to realize hell i think it might be an interesting level to say the least
 
Killing innocent civilian men and women at the airport is not so cool, even in the game. And despite of the 18 age restriction, it's sure known that a little children and teenagers WILL play this, today's children can reach and get everything they want, no doubts about it. You can't compare this to postal, this one is different and that's why this disturbs me a little.

This is nothing new to violent video games. Get over it. :sleep:
 
Why is this level going to far? Shooting unarmed zombies is ok, but not unarmed civies? Watching an unarmed civie be torn to shreads by <insert game enemy here> is ok, but being part of a group that does the killing isnt? What is too far next time? Stop the battlefield series from allowing peopel to play as PLA/MEC/<insert other opfor> since they are killing americans?

Should we not watch any movies that involve terrorism?

Its a game, please deal with it. It will not turn you into a terrorist, it wont make you kill your neighbors, its for fun.
