Leaked Modern Warfare 2 Footage Causes Outrage

Posted by Soulskill on from the if-this-bothers-you-avoid-the-dexter-game dept.

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."

    Yeah, so this will only work on around 90% of the global population? (Sure, it's probably a low estimate, I'm being kind)

    Who gives a fuck?

    Don't like it? Don't buy it.
    Do like it? Buy it.
    Do like it but if they remove killing civilians you will not buy it because it is dishonest/not realistic? Seek professional help.
    Do/don't like it but "think of the children!" Game was not intended for kids. YOU go and think of YOUR children.
    Do like it but you think that its nothr move by govmnt to take ya guns an freedums? You sir, are insane. Drop whatever you are doing and check yourself into a psychiatric institution. NOW!

    The game has an MA rating. The target audience has already "grown up" (by legal definition).
