I don't get it. People are cancelling their pre-orders and slamming MW2 because it has a mission where you kil civilians. Just curious, for the people that cancelled their pre-orders did you buy GTA IV? GTA IV is 10000000x worse. (Its still the best game IMO) You guys are all upset over one mission, when GTA IV the whole damn game is where you kill civilians.

although it is a bad thing, this is a valid point.

Seriously, GTA4 obviously is 10 x worse. So yeah, MW2 shouldn't be treated so bad.

Let people complain, they're only helping IW. Free publicity for them.

I find it so odd that it only takes a mission like this for people to realize a large concept of video games.

It's because terrorism is a very touchy topic right now, not the time to have one in a game.

COD4 sold extremely well for a game that had terrorism, nukes, war in the middle east.. all big topics

In Fallout 3 you had the option of nuking an entire village, I didn't see anyone cancel there pre-orders then.

I know, I think it's been blown out of proportion.

When I was in the military I met a guy who had the same views , $%^&* about violent content and hide in a corner, know what I told him, " buddy, the last time I checked we didn't fight terror being cowards and hiding, and complaining about violent content."

but isnt GTA comical mischief judging by its artstyle and gameplay? While COD goes for the realistic approach with its graphics and gameplay.
