Modern Warfare 2 causing controversy not related to price

Yes, it's just some obscure mag with an axe to grind, but I think it's pretty obvious we'll see more of this sort of bull**** in the coming months. Thoughts?

Pfff.... get over it people.....

Actually the chance to see the white house burning to the ground only solidified further that this is a Day 1 purchase.

OMG, it's ok to shoot up nazi's and other kinds of enemys, but when they mention 9/11 it's the end of the world, this is like Black people in L4D2.

I will probably buy this game used, due to Activision, although game controversy doesn't bother me to much.

Yes, it's ok to shoot up Nazi's.

I would buy the game regardless of this controversy...

I don't know what was said about Demon's Souls, but there's always Killzone 2, right?

I don't know who wouldn't like it, it's the best Non-Infinity Ward thing in a COD game, imo. :P

Kinda right. I expected a lower score because everything said about the difficulty and people was always like "GS don't punish high difficulty"...

*checks cons of the game*

oops, they do!!

And what about that Jeff Goldblast character? He oughta be banned what with his endorsing of terroristical imagery in his movies..Think of the children.InsaneBasura

Of course, shelling the Natzees with artillery and shooting thousands of them and watching their bodies pile one on top of the other is fine (like Call of Duty 2) is a far more appropriate scenario for a war game. Literally, there has never been an invasion into the United States. What pansies we have in this country. Britain had to contend with years of air raids, Germany had an entire city firebombed out of existence (Dresden, our accomplishment BTW), Japan lost two cities to our nuclear bomb chest-puffing incident, China was overrun by the Mongols and then had to endure the "rape of Nanjing," and the United States also was an accomplished native genocider. Yeah, we literally killed or mated with every Native American on the continent. We're just little peaches, yes we are. Please don't blow up our state buildings in a videogame, it'll make us cry.Brownesque

People need things to complain about. How does the white house burning deal with 9/11?

Give it 50 years and we will be playing 9/11 video games, just like Pearl Harbor.TheDuffman26

this is no big deal at all.

i remember playing either Desert strike or Jungle strike for the super nes back in the day, and one of the missions you could fly your helicopter all over washington DC and destroy many of its landmarks, including the white house.

if you shoot the white house you make a giant hole into the top of it and if you look closely..you can see a little person inside. as a kid i always used to say that it was the president.

anyways....i miss desert and jungle strike

To be honest, you really don't have the right to say anything like that, there are people fighting over seas right now while you typed that post for our country.

On the topic of the Modern Warfare 2 trailer, it just made the game look less appealing if anything. Washington D.C. buring just seems so, Independence Day. I really wished Infinity Ward stuck to the shred of realism it had with the first is=nstallment regarding the story. If any city in the U.S. were to be burning, the last city I would think of would be Washington D.C., it seems so impossible.

9/11!!!!!

*lets not forget that in iraq alone more civilians have been killed then 9/11 the same for afganistan*

Which is why any one that uses 9/11 for any thing are hypocrites, where is the memorial for the civilians over there?

Yea I had a feeling they would list it as a con, (Did the same with Radiant Dawn IIRC) but I believed that the game was great enough to still score AAA even with that floating above its shoulders. Happy to say that my beliefs payed off. :Ptagyhag

YOU WIN THE INTERNETZ!!!!

Argh!! Can't wait that long to headshot Bin Laden with a Golden Desert Eagle :(

More importantly, who would want to play a 9/11 video-game?

i support our troops but i dont support the people that sent them there(bush administration)

no matter what i think i'll always support the troops, but the higher-ups running the country couldnt care less about them.

yikes, thats pretty hypcrotical

Anyway, I reckon the change of setting could be much interesting. Think Freedom Fighters is the only game to have really taken advantage of the "get off our lawn ya damn kids" theme..InsaneBasura
