We've got GTA which pretty much lets you run over or shoot every pedestrian in a breathing, living world.

We've got Fallout 3 that allowed us to kill a small village build around an atomic bomb.

We've got Oblivion where one could become an assassin.

But running into an airfield and shooting innocent 'PIXELS' is a controversial matter?

YET we love to see movies like SAW, or John Rambo, and all of the sudden a game designer needs to make a Public statement why they implanted this into the game?

What the hell is wrong with you!? -- are you guys daft?
Or is this some new kind of entertainment?

Christ get a grip, it's a GAME! You know, pixels, programmed to do just that?
Whoops misunderstood. I thought 'you' was directed at Infinity Ward.

I agree with your post

Obviously, the Board who does the rating for the game were paid to not ban it as this is thought to be a "steller" of a game.

Exacly my thoughts.

All you bunch are just trying to find more reasons to hate on IW.
Give it a grip people. You don't see people complaining when they shoot down civilians on GTA4 now do you? exacly.

Cod just stepped in the bandwagon a little. New for its game, but definatly not new for us people. Jezus...

They are right, they're just trying to be realistic because these things happen in real life. ( Like this morning in Pakistan)

What's gona piss me off is gonna be you're typical 10-12 year old's answer to why they killed the civilians... i know it's only a game but children can be so cruel.

It's still great to have it optional.
If a game is JUST a game, how far does that stretch out? To what limit?
What if there was a 911 game? Would that STILL be acceptable.
I mean our Second Amendment is that we have the right to bear arms, but obviously no Nuclear weapons or H-Bombs in the house. Understand?

Anyways, I am still looking forward to the game. And it looks like I'll be getting it on the PC, due to the fact that the console version is only 600P (native)...That's right, no native 720P or 1080P on consoles.

I dunno what's worse. The story showing the "terrorist's side of view for a 10 minutes" or going around in your free nature endlessly shooting prostitutes.

IW's case is cinematic, intense and makes sense. Shooting prostitutes is just some lame novelity grand theft auto series didn't take out cuz of its good selling point.

More like no game developer has yet to put an interesting spin on that story, and to justify fighting for Germany for reasons other than genocide. I mean there are simply some things you can't market. But Americians killing asians in the jungle and raping their wives in the meantime... maybe you can.\\

Now why would you say that?
As our computers get faster, our games get more intense and capable of branching out into different areas with different game developers consisting of different people making storyline and plots for their games

From lesbian-alien sex (Mass Effect) to a small terriost simulation level in this game, the fact remains is that these are games, not to be taken seriously and offically marketed to folks 18+ just so they won't confuse it with reality. You cant honestly blame this game if a bunch of 13 year olds decide to storm an airport in the future, their messed up in the head in the first place for whatever reason. Point being, don't ruin my entertainment just cuz the person down the street decides to get real with it.
