Modern Warfare 2

Since this is the Game of the Year (or at least will be) and I've just beaten it, I thought this might have an interesting discussion that I could use. For those who are going to play the game and haven't read anything about the game SPOILERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

When I first booted up the game, I was treated to a warning that some disturbing content may be observed within the game and that I could skip it if I wanted to (which I didn't) after a few missions to get the game started, we start on a mission where a US Ranger has infiltrated a terrorist group. The first thing that happened was a massacre at an airport. Essentially you thousands of innocent civilians while portraying a terrorist. Kinda messed up, huh?!

I wonder if this has truly created any conrtrovesry and if so, what will become of it? I also thought it was interesting that the game could censor content like that, actually really fascinated by it. Well, we can only wait and see.

  1. i'm glad it gives the option to censor, thats a nice feature for anyone that doesn't want to simulate being a terrorist. i'd be interested to see how minorities are portrayed in a game like this.
