MW2 terrorist massacre isn't as bad as some other games

I am through with this romper room, I have had my fill of tears and blubbering, "you should feel bad for others" whatever, I am outta here,

everybody should care about the emotion of people? No, because not everyone feels the same way the offended person does, and forcing one to feel that way is against that person's constitutional rights. Working off of emotions leads to crap like banning and censorship. People just need to just keep their views to themselves and handle it their own way without trying to push their views on others. This has been discussed in here to death. People have different views, and either one trying to force those views on others is wrong, IT IS A GAME< NOT REAL, /caps, Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill,. If you are offended, so be it, but don't come here telling us that are not offended , "you have to feel bad" I don't have to feel ^&(& for you. I can discern reality from fantasy, I served in the military and was shot at, ok. Censorship by any means,.....ANY MEANS, is against the constitution.

This is not what is meant by morality and freedom. On the other hand, it means that everyone is free to do whatever that person likes unless that things doesnt harm others mentally or physically.

Nobody is forcing their viewpoint on others, but everyone is just asking others to not hurt them. Moreover, regarding "making a mountain out of hill": No I am just trying to present my views logically. If you can point out the logical flaws then I will be convinced.

No I am not telling that you should feel bad or you are wrong by not feeling bad. You are "right" in not feeling bad or otherwise. This is because that is your personal opinion and you are not making a public game out of your personal opinion.

What I am saying here is that publisher of MW2 is wrong and they shouldnt have done it. MW2 is a game that will be released to general public. It is bound to hurt many people because it has lot of similarities with a recent tragedy. Not to mention the possibility of gamers playing like a terrorist and virtually enacting mass killing of innocent civilians, similar to that tragedy.

Regarding why some people can be hurt, that can be seen from real examples: when a person dies then parodying that person's death hurts the person's relatives and friends. This is same with MW2.

About a dragon destroying a village: it is not realistic and doesnt have any similarities with a recent tragedy. On other hand, can you prove that many people will not be emotionally hurt if someone makes a public game simulating 9/11 plane attacks?

Reading fixer293's view on life over the last few pages i cant help imagine a fragile boy in some backend woods cutting open a kitten he caught on the streets. You have a bright future ahead :P

In Fallout 3 some people scream out for help when you are going to kill them.

I know that, I was following what he said about people making too much of a big deal of MW2.

I don't think Fallout 3 is a big deal either though, but Fallout 3 will probably be worse than MW2.

[QUOTE="fixer293"] deepens the storyline.That is what it does, has everyone just lost all speck of guts these days.I remember being in the ,miliitary and hearing people tell me go get them, do it for the fallen, now people have reverted to cowardice ,gutless, crying about every thing they deem "offensive". This is how the Jack Thompson's of the world get their power, from gutless whiny people.

There are many other ways to deepen the story line without hurting people emotionally. Parodying a recent tragedy is just not the only one way to do that. Moreover, storyline is not important part of an FPS game.

Regarding "offensive" things, everyone has to care about the emotions of other people. Thats why people dont joke around about a dead person or parody him in his funeral. Emotions are very high for some years after a recent tragedy and the subject matter is very sensitive. People not affected by the tragedy may not feel it, but there could be many people that can feel emotionally hurt. I think that its better to avoid a thing that can emotionally hurt many people especially when the same objective like deeper storyline can be achieved by other means.

Regarding Jack Thomson/GTA, that is already debatable whether GTA is good or bad. We may draw a line for GTA, but MW2 is crossing that line. In addition, we cannot justify worst things by saying that bad things already happen in other games.

And even in Infamous which was rated T by the way....you can kill normal civilians.

We have racing simulators, driving simulators, etc I thought of a new name:

COD MW2 : the terrorism simulator.

What say? Though it is not original as many people have said it before.

All of those examples are done in a funny kind of way. I play all sorts of violent games and am never really bothered by them. The fact that it takes place in an airport, by terrorists, and basically reenacts a possible alternative to 9/11 just doesn't seem necessary.

That a loose link between 9/11 plane attack and a gun attack in a airport. Yes they are both terroriest attack but they are not the same.

It it worse picking up a gum and shooting people calling yourself a terrorists or playing avideo game andblowing up houses and towns.

There is a worse game that is in development but no-ones brought it up yet.Its worse asthegame is based on real events-

The PS3, Xbox 360, and PC game is/was due to dramatize the events of the second battle of Fallujah, one of the bloodiest and hard-fought of 'Operation Iraqi Freedom'. Konami announced the game recently only to immediately be bombarded with complaints and condemnations from war veterans, the families of those killed in the battle, and peace campaigners.

The connection is still there though. Terrorists, airports/planes, and lots of innocent American dying. I dont think I'm the only one who immediately thought 9/11 upon seeing that.

The game you showed though, I'm not 100% but I think that game was cancelled. I remember reading about it though

Hope you've learned a lesson.

[QUOTE="_TheJoker_"]

I think people here are really hypocrates, they all bash the terrorist mission because "OMG you kill innocent people!" and they all own at least 2 GTA games.

It's just a game, and how many movies have things like this or worse!
