Yep, killing rats is bad nevermind the game allowing you to kill hundreds in the campaign--and thousands of people online. No biggy.Stevo_the_gamer

Nope, that's fine. PETA doesn't care about people.

I'm far from a PETA member, but I would be lying if I said in movies I get more sad when humans die than when dogs or other animals do. I don't know why even lol.

It's good to see some one is fighting for virtual rats' rights. When will the oppression end?

Yeah who gives a crap about those evil humans getting shot and blown up? The poor rats are the TRUE victims here.

Go to hell, PETA.

I would gladly kill a million rats in a video game just out of spite to PETA.

It's things like this that stop people from taking PETA seriously anymore.

This isn't the first time that PETA has got its knickers in a twist over a video game. Last year it expressed outrage at the lack of a vegetarian option in fleshy indie platformer Super Meat Boy, countering with a spoof effort called Super Tofu Boy, much to developer Team Meat's amusement.Eurogamer link

Gotta be kidding me.

Does that mean PETA plays CoD? One more reason not to touch the series again...

I have a mixed felling about the whole thing. On the one had PETA is quite right, virtual animals do have rights after all, on the other had where the hell were PETA the past half century when RPG gamers were killing rats in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.

Gee. I wonder what nastygram PETA will send me if I posted a video of my character in Crysis shooting down a whole flock of birds with a machinegun. That or grenading a flock of chickens.

I loved that website in GTA4 for "PATe", aka "Parents Against Tofu Eating." The most hilarious thing about it is that their demands sounded no more unreasonable than PeTA's! :lol:

PETA is a big joke. They spend more time making up controversies and trashing Epic Meal Time and games then they do actually helping any damn animals. It also doesn't help that they got trolled into complaining about Obama swatting a fly and getting schooled by Super Meat Boy creators.

I could ramble on about how I hate PETA for spending all their money on celebrity endorsements and eco terrorist court trials then on animals or animal charities, but I could go on for a long time that way.

Thousands of virtual people die in Battlefield 3, no problem. A virtual rat died? +$@# just got serious. Wait till they see the dogs strapped with bombs in Modern Warfare 3.

Wow, got to love PETA's inconsistency. They are acting like it is a real rat dying. You know, instead of a bunch of zeroes and ones.

1.Rats are filthy creatures that spread disease and destroy most all other forms of life in a area so peta should be all for limiting the rat population.
2.The rat sequence was the most stupid part of the game and it is infact is the bullet point to showing that bf3's single player is horrible that you have to take a 30 QTE just to kill a rat.
3.it would have been far easier to just grab the rat and fling it far away the rat likely wont have survived and it would have taken less time...

PETA just wants attention. they don't give a damn about animal rights. they routinely kill stray dogs and cats at their animal shelters. the less people pay attention to these nutjobs, the sooner they'll fade away into obscurity.

I'm with PETA on this! QTEs are bad enough even when they're all epic and stuff. And I I never thought QTEs could be further dumbed down but somehow Dice managed it. Maybe it would work in a Duke Nukem game though, you know, as parody.

Considering it was a stealth sequence, I don't imagine the guards would have ignored a flying, shrieking rat coming out of a man sized pipe.

Man, complaints over the display of something not real in the game killing something that is just not real. I think they are just wanting to drum up this stuff, I have killed little critters, I am sure I could kill the chickens in Crysis, so I didn't hear them complain about that.

except the fact that during the rat sequence there is no one infront of you so no one would have noticed.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"]they expect people to take them seriously, thats the worst part lol. and yeah I agree they should be trying to do something about rat traps which are extremely cruel, instead of just bashing a videogame

I agree. While not quite a vegetarian, I find their methods a bit rediculous.

Maybe they're a food source for other animals at least, all the more reason to kill them.

I like how they attacked Super Meat Boy because there wasn't a vegetarian option. They went and made a parody called Super Tofu Boy.
