Re: Here is How Modern Warfare 2 Will Spark Further Controversy

And only victims of September the 11'th 2001 were affected by the Terrorist attacks?
America lives in a perpetual state of fear from Terrorist acts now because of it and so do many millions of other people world wide from all manners of cultures.

Christ get over yourselves.
If the terrorists were labeled as "Al'Queda" in MW:2 then by all means even I'd be pissed but they are not and so like many fictions stories this is no different and you can't seem to realise that.

If you really disliked terrorists that much in Call of Duty you wouldn't be playing OpFor in Multiplay MW:1 either infact you should be avoiding Video games all together if you cannot draw a line between reality and a video game.

Are you really that dense? Do I live in fear? NO. I get on planes, I go places, I do things.

Do I personally know victims of terrorist attacks regardless of which isolated incident it was. Am I bitter and angry that my innocent friends and family were killed because they up and went to work in the morning? YES, and I am not afraid to admit that.

What? Do you really walk around hating Al Queda, but not other groups who commit to these types of attacks? My goodness, does anyone stand up for something they believe in anymore or is everything just okay?

Besides that, playing MP in CoD4 is nothing like this and you know that.

It's skippable. You don't have to kill any civilians if you don't want to.

Cry me a river then Kyle.
I honestly don't care if you knew victims of a terrorist attack. Yes its said that it happened but what that got to do with this video game?
Don't confuse reality with a video game when you better.

As for CoD4 multiplayer, the context in which the character may be used is different sure, but the fact of the matter is your playing a terrorist none the less. Get used to the fact.

Was about to post this. Well I guess we know how this game will be able to come out in Ausi-land.

You're not shooting civilians in CoD4 multiplayer. There's no difference between any of the factions in CoD4 in MP, they're all the same except for the characters and voices. Opfor isn't committing terrorism in MP, they're fighting a war.

Re: Here is How Modern Warfare 2 Will Spark Further Controversy

Ok stupid question to ask.
My point being I don't see why people are being so riled up and comparing it to things like terrorist attacks on the twin towers etc.
If your going to take personal experiences into video games then should you be playing it in the first place?

Re: Here is How Modern Warfare 2 Will Spark Further Controversy

No, no you shouldnt. So anyone being offended by what they saw could easily just not buy the game.

Case closed.

Wow. Some people are so ignorant it blows my mind. You probably don't know anyone do you? You're probably one of the people that laughs at the pictures of people jumping off the WTC as it falls to the ground.

Let me ask you a question. Say instead IW made a game in which you had to play as a terrorist inflitrate your home, and kill all of your family, bonus points for friends, and then released it to the public.

Would you be happy about that? Would you welcome it? Would you say "Oh haha, its just a video game. lol."

Don't be ridiculous. IW isn't putting your friends or family into it. It's a fictional event with fictional people.

Re: Here is How Modern Warfare 2 Will Spark Further Controversy

OK guys, lets be sure to talk about the subject and opinions of the game and not each other.

Its getting a little heated.

Re: Here is How Modern Warfare 2 Will Spark Further Controversy

Its a videogame, its not going to create a new generation of terrorists.
