Leaked Modern Warfare 2 Footage Causes Outrage
eldavojohn writes "Game Politics makes note of criticism over leaked footage from the upcoming Modern Warfare 2 release. (Spoiler warning.) Footage shows the player engaged in killing civilians with terrorists (relevant video begins at about 1:50, second source in case of DMCA). Several game sites are asking if this is taking things too far. Probably just advertising at work, but the footage is indeed controversial — the question remains whether or not it is out of context."
People who watch "Saw" are assumed to be active participants in the movie, fully capable of distinguishing right from wrong, and adjusting their actions accordingly. People who play "Modern Warfare II" are passive participants, blindly led along the pathways mapped out in advance by the designers.
It is a first person shooter .... of course you're going to go "Dylan Klebold" on everyone. Duh!!!!
don't kid yourself without foreign oil and gas america is dead .. it actually already is dead it just will not lay down and die .. it's government just keeps printing money and manipulating the economy .. and the american people and the rest of the world let them get away with it ..
not to mention that during the vietnam war .. back when america had a relatively free and open press .. the american people got to see the horrors WAR it was in the news day in and day out .. and they had not been as desensitized to violence by years of violent television and video games .. as they now are ..
but without the foreign oil.. the price of gas in the us would be $7-10 a gallon and the economy would implode .. as long as the oil keeps flowing most americans really don't and won't care ..
just keep the gas flowing for us will you ..
since National Security Memorandum 200 population control in the third world has been official us foreign policy .. how many americans know that fact and how many would really care ?
do you really think america has honestly earned it's present standard of living ???
because of it's advantage of have the underground economy's currency of chose .. being the reserve currency .. and because all foreign all debts has been calculated in terms of us dollars .. it has been milking the rest of the world for almost a 100 years ..
i do know what the average american is taught in school about history and the rest of the world ..
but in the days of the INTERNET there really is no reason and no excuse for americans .. to not having a fuller and truer understanding .. of the us its foreign policies and actions throughout and in the world over the last 100 or so years ..
You can tell the difference between how an animal was treated and it's taste?
Bullshit. This is just pseudo science junk made for people to feel better about their own choices. I've tried both and the only difference *I* notice is the level of non-growth hormones in the local farmers stock. They're all still treated like the animals they are. Dinner. How you *feel* about your method of killing an animal is of no consequence to the end result of it's taste.
