@Tokugawa77 You know, you've got a good point. American lives are more precious than gold, yet Russian, Korean, Middle Eastern, and South Americans are expendable? As an American with my family holding Spanish, Italian, Irish, and Russian heritage, I'm very offended. Like I stated, all life is precious, and while soldiers fighting and dieing in countries they don't understand is tragic... so are the people in those country's we're fighting. Do they have T.V, movies, video games, and music to make their lives more comfortable? I wonder what is going through the mind of Jason when thinking of these games? Is he seriously thinking of the heavily trained and well equipped American commandos steam rolling over forgotten lands... Oh yeah, I feel so bad for team U.S.A. Call me unpatriotic if you want, but for every one of those 6,328 American lives, how many people do you think died in order to achieve those numbers in THEIR fight. Thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? There will always be war. So no, I don't feel bad Jason. Why? Because if we can watch "Black Hawk Down", "Saving Private Ryan", and "Platoon", while reading the "Art of War", "Diary of Robert E. Lee", "The Face of Battle", and "Night", while listening to "Aces High", "Blackened", and "Brothers in Arms", then I sure as hell can play CoD, Battlefield, Counterstrike, and Arma without feeling depressed.
How many people have you run over in GTA? How many survivors have you laid waste to trying to survive in Fallout? How many natives have you killed in Africa in Farcry 2? Does it make a difference? No? Than stop trying to send some kind of message about feeling bad for playing a game based on real life, or realistic reasoning. Yes soldiers have died in Afghan, and Iraq, but that's conflict, people die. Writing a book, or watching a movie on those events is no different to playing a video game. A wise man once said: "It is well that war is so terrible. We should grow too fond of it." Robert E. Lee Well we have, in media and pop culture. Movies, music, literature, and video games ARE that media because we made it that way. Moping changes nothing. Complaining, again, changes nothing. I'm not saying "Who cares if people die" all life is precious as Batman once said, but I'm saying since the dawn of time humans have held nothing but conflict. 210,000 years ago we had conflict, today we have conflict, the only difference is it's part in media. As Ron Pearlman once said "War... war never changes".
Best parody ever. I hope the fanboys get angry at this video and try to defend their series. It makes me laugh every time when they mention the new "CoDs" and "Good game" in the same sentence.
Guys, stop your whining and enjoy the game when it comes out. Personally I'm glad they're doing San Andreas again (Probably just the Californian in me talking there though) and in all honesty, outside of New York, Miami, and L.A, I can't really think of another crime ridden city that would be just as intriguing, fun, and explorable outside of maybe Washington, or Chicago... great here comes the angry responses of people sticking up for their states... and the thumbs down.
