What I found MORE disturbing was how so many of the comments focused on the GAME, rather than the writers point about shooting civilians for "fun".

One of the posters replying to the clip raised a good point. How is this different than reading a Tom Clancy novel or watching an action movie? I was in agreement. Then I watched about half of the video clip before I turned it off. I am no shrinking violet and in no way shape or form want to support censorship. That being said, if I had a teenager, that game would come into my house over my dead body. Parents do your jobs! Pay attention to what your kids see and listen to, the government is not your nanny, you have to do it yourself.

my buddies kid was playing this game today, modern warfare 2. apparently all the kids in the country are playing it, he says thats a mission from the terrorists perspective and most of the time you play as rangers.

Shit move by the developers, especially after ft. hood. i imagine this isnt the last we are going to hear of this, considering millions of kids all over the planet are playing this.

Why? That clip was like watching a snuff film. I couldn't get through the whole thing before turning it off. Why? Not because I couldn't take it, but because I didn't need to. Why subject yourself to that crap, much less pay $50 to do so. Watch the news, its included with your cable bill.

have to confess that i played it for a couple of hours with my buddy and there is a warning at the start of the game that some levels contain scenes that some may find disturbing, and there is an option to skip these scenes. awesome game though. fun to gun down teenagers in NJ.  ;D

Boring!!!  And no one would whisper a word of discontent if this was a book, television, or movie.  You old folks just have it out for the video games.  Admit it!!!

That's why they have industry set ratings on the box.  FQ, I'm glad you ain't all, "I don't like this, ban all games."  Some people would have me in the poor house if they could.  Its a personal decision to enjoy what entertainment one would.

Besides, I'm not buying it anyway because its the same thing as the first Modern Warefare, its $60 on PC, and they're spitting in the faces of the people that CoD famous.

When I get to make MY game, it'll make this look like a Sunday morning church service. ;)

Post by: piepaned on November 13, 2009, 02:42:00 AM
Wow... I didn't think people on this form would be talking about this game here.  Especially a day after after Modern Warfare 2 was released. I'll admit I was one of those crazies who picked up a copy on the day it was released.  The premise of the mission where you commit a terrorist act of gunning down civilian, that you are a deep cover agent infiltrating a terrorist organization.  As part of the 'new guy' initiation is to do the deed.  

People will say violent video games... will cause violent children, so ban them right? Well,  I remember back in high school the media was saying the same thing then about, Grand Theft Auto.  Grand Theft Auto is a bad game because it lets children play as a gangster.  Or First Person Shooters (FPS) like Halo train kids to be gunmen.  In general economics, the only reason why people make these games is people want them.  Thus, the video game industry is a multi-billion dollar industry.  

Personally, this mission caused my moral fiber to twitch.  But its my belief that video games are a form of entertainment, a mode of story telling, which allows a person to experience something they couldn't imagine.  As for the game itself I liked it.  I personally choose to go through with the terrorist act, and killed civilians in a mass shooting in a video game.  I don't know if this is the right place for this or what kind of rebuttal I will get for my comments.  As I reflect upon my experience, I begin to wonder, if there is something wrong with my train of thoughts or morals.  I may never know, for I am only human.  Will I ever commit a mass shooting in real life? I don't think so, but I don't know.  With the proper motivation people can accomplish amazing things.  Depend on your point of view it maybe for good or bad.  Remember one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.  

On a side note video games don't appear over night.  The creation of a game usually take about a year.  And the release date of games are set 3-4 month in advance.  Thus, the controversial aspect of this game happens to coincide with the mass shooting event which took place at Ft Worth.  The Call of Duty series of games personify the men and women in the armed services as heroes.  And its my firm belief that every soldier, sailor, airmen and marine deserve our deepest respect.  

My heart goes out to the departed and their families of this horrible event.

I'm a huge fan of Band of Brothers and all WWII stuff, and of the military in general. I never served (when my draft # came up we were getting shipped right off to Nam. Nixon killed the draft right before I was called). My point is, I respect the military but never served. I play video games like CoD and MoH. In some ways they let me experience a little more about how things were for our troops, or the circumstances of history, etc., just like a helicopter simulator helps you understand the kinds of problems inherent in flying one. AND I like to shoot the bad guys. When a game comes along and gives you a choice of what side to be on, I never liked the bad guy side and never took it. That's just me.

A friend had Grand Theft Auto- I tried it and didn't like it because it's random violence- there's no cause, no valor implied. In a game like CoD you are pursuing something on the side of right.

Some of you may now be saying, " 'Side of Right?' It's just a video game" And THATS THE POINT. It's just a freaking video game. When I see Fox news beating up on this stuff I'm reminded that they have a bad side- find me some real news.

It's just a video game. Granted, the timing with Ft Hood just happening is horrible, but I don't think they had any way to consider that horrible event right at their release date.

I don't have the equipment for this new game (I'm always a system behind- got a regular XBox). I understand that this controversy is part of the game to help infiltrate the bad guys. So you go through a really DISTASTEFUL part of the game- and that is part of the experience. I'm sure it heightens your desire to GET these guys in the end.

At any rate, it's a video game. It's like when I see a hunting show and a guy bags a whitetail, rushes up to it, and starts swinging the head all around, high fiving, etc, with no respect for the creature who's life he just ended. That's distasteful and makes me believe the guy is a douchebag, but it doesn't make me believe that hunting or hunting shows should be banned or that I should run right out, shoot an animal, and then act like I'm some guy named Flozell who just scored an NFL touchdown.

A little perspective is needed...it's a video game. I have "played" war games my entire life and haven't killed anyone yet and don't intend to, unless they are poised to hurt me, someone I love, or an innocent.

A little perspective...

jaybet, great post!  ;D

As for Modern Warfare 2 the game has been in development for 2 years and the November 10th date was announced six months ago so postponing the game would have caused a few big logistical problems considering the demand for the game and the amount of space it takes up in smaller stores because of that demand. Having played a few of the COD series including the first modern warfare I'll say this, It's meant to be in-your-face about just how bad terrorists are and (while over the top in terms of action) just how bad ass the military is, both American and British. In the first modern warfare there are quite a few shock moments like this and they do make you really hate the bad guys (a Middle Eastern terrorist leader and a Russian ultranationalist). Its really a grown-up's GI Joe co-staring the SAS.


BTW, I've heard you can get through the terrorist level without killing anyone, I hope thats true, I don't have the game yet but I'm going to when its on sale.

Though I loved the thing, I gave up on Xbox 360 for good when my third one developed "ring of death"...  I strictly use the PS3 now for blue ray movies and games.

Best Xbox 360 game EVER?!?!  Battlefield II  

Fun sniper action, drive HumVee's, tanks, chopper gun ships, dune buggy's, fight with land mines, claymores, grenades, RPG's,  shotguns, M60's, pistols, .50 cal., near anything you want.  And the game is older, so it sells for about $15 bucks!!!   :)

You have to play on-line though.  The single player game bites.  :(

Best of all, is that it's ALL about stratagy and team work!!!!  Though if your team stinks, you can Rambo things too.  ;)

There it is in a nut shell..... This was kinda disturbing for me to watch, but aside from this scene it really looks like an awesome video game.

*Go listen to this weeks podcast (Bane talks about approaching a situation with an active shooter) and then re-watch the vid..... Bane is right, your eye is really drawn to anyone who is not running in fear and they really portray themselves as a target.

   +1000

As the father of a child with ...... "issues", I can absolutely confirm that when we used to let him play games like MoH, CoD and other first person shooters, he was a LOT more problematic and violent. At least for a short time period after playing. Now, not all or even most of his problems are because of a video game, no matter how violent. But it DOES have an effect, a cumulative effect if he is allowed to continue playing. Obviously we no longer let him play those games and we work our buts off everyday trying to help him (and his siblings) to learn how to exist and excel in everyday life. This is a boy who is literally capable of being a rocket scientist as he learns and grows. Not some "no account", broken home, ignored by his drug using parents lost in the system kiddo, but a child who some have said is getting the best help available to a kid. And this is by people who have the opportunity to see the worst in homes with their jobs, unfortunately.

Am I advocating the banning or censorship of anything, HELL NO! That is my job as a parent to protect my children from things that are not in their best interest. I used to believe that video games were just that, games. I never believed that they would affect behavior. Now I have proof that they do, at least in the case of my son.

Its technically 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'.  So if you're kids got the original, don't worry, its not as violent as this one.

I can't speak from a parents point of view, but most of my siblings video games come from me.  And I let most of them play what ever they want if I know they are mature enough.  There's a few that I don't let them play, mainly because of, boobie and language content, the older ones don't mind the violence of CoD, Crysis, or Fallout 3, but I do know it would bother some of the little guys because it 'realism'.  Some of the more animated violent game with just a much or more blood don't bother the little ones, like Team Fortress 2.  I'm glad to know that some folks out there are doing what best for their families and being active parents and learning their habits, rather than reactionary.

My PS3 came as a "Bundle" with "Uncharted 2".  A first person shooter / adventure maze game in which the characters use worse language ("F" word & the such) than any drunken sailor ever would.

I let my daughter sit in for me while playing the shooter games on-line, and she laughs off the violence.  All the cursing they do in Uncharted bothers us both WAY more...   :-\

Honestly does worry me a little to see her excited & proud of getting "head shots" with a .50 cal....  ;D :-\ ;D  But I know she's mature enough to know a game from reality.

Love the run and gun games, finished COD4 Modern Warfare on Veteran, now going back and just playing specific scenarios. I think I have my son convinced to cough up half for the PS3 version of MW2.

I hated the sniper scenarios in COD4: MW, took forever to figure out how to get through the field with the enemy troops.

Claymores, C4 and a s***load of luck. Also dying enough times to memorize the places where the bad guys are and place explosives accordingly. Grabbing an AK or a G3 as a backup weapon is also helpful.

I got stuck in the "Hunted" mission on veteran myself, one of these days I'll get back to it but I hear "Mile High Club" is a nightmare on veteran.

ok guys, after 9 hours and 4 cups of coffee last night, i conclude that modern warfare 2 is a great game.

the online play is what got me. me and my buddy stole our kids xbox and played together from 8pm till 5am and i still have the urge to go and play some more.

the online play has your "classes" which are your weapon setups. they have all the military hardware you can imagine. and you customize your setup to your play style. my friend is an ex MC scout sniper and instantly got hooked on the sniping aspect of it.
he had his class kitted out with a chytech sniper rifle with a suppressor, and 4-9x scope, with a desert eagle, claymores and ghuillie suit.

i made a class with a M4, Eotech, and suppressor. with a m9, semtex, smoke etc.

damn we kicked some 14 year old ass last night, i came up at the end of it all with 387 online kills and 284 deaths.

the thing we both enjoyed though was the "special ops mode" where the two of you defend a position against waves of enemy's
me and him both serving, we got a pretty good kick out of the whole game and were amazed at how realistic it was.

to sum up, if you want to waste hours of your day, have fun with friends and beat down on them pesky kids, play this game  ;D




jake

PS be prepared to take some mouth from cocky teenagers when you kick their ass and they find out your an adult  ;D

ok guys, after 9 hours and 4 cups of coffee last night, i conclude that modern warfare 2 is a great game.

the online play is what got me. me and my buddy stole our kids xbox and played together from 8pm till 5am and i still have the urge to go and play some more.

the online play has your "classes" which are your weapon setups. they have all the military hardware you can imagine. and you customize your setup to your play style. my friend is an ex MC scout sniper and instantly got hooked on the sniping aspect of it.
he had his class kitted out with a chytech sniper rifle with a suppressor, and 4-9x scope, with a desert eagle, claymores and ghuillie suit.

i made a class with a M4, Eotech, and suppressor. with a m9, semtex, smoke etc.

damn we kicked some 14 year old ass last night, i came up at the end of it all with 387 online kills and 284 deaths.

the thing we both enjoyed though was the "special ops mode" where the two of you defend a position against waves of enemy's
me and him both serving, we got a pretty good kick out of the whole game and were amazed at how realistic it was.

to sum up, if you want to waste hours of your day, have fun with friends and beat down on them pesky kids, play this game  ;D


jake

PS be prepared to take some mouth from cocky teenagers when you kick their ass and they find out your an adult  ;D


Heck, that's what Haz has the forum for.  ;)    ;D  ;D  ;D

Maybe they should make a version where we take over DC.

They could call it, "Call of Duty 5: Tom Bogan Takes Washington".   ;D


+1

Dunno, yest it's just a game. And I like first person shooter games.  But, just like guns, how do you decide who gets to play them and whether or not they got "some screws loose" upstairs.  ???  I can see some unsupervised kid trying to act it out someday after playing it for a year straight. Then, it will be plastered on television how bad guns are. Grrr..

You'll have to clue me in to how you did it on Veteran. I'm still stuck on it!

My bad, it's the only one not on Veteran - I really hate that scenario, I never go back to it. I'll have to try with Anubus' suggestion and plant a sh!tload of claymores - on normal setting first.

Are you guys talking about the part where you have to sneak passed the troops or are you talking about the part when you are waiting for the helicopter?
