Let's not forget we're taking moral authority from a group that lets children die of treatable diseases because it somehow makes them closer to God. |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 1 Joined: 7 Oct 2009  | it seems like a lot of people on here have some kinda issue with the way the United States views themselves. I agree that the CSM did overreact cuz MW2 is gonna be sick but im just sayin, as a member of the United States Marine Corp, we are better get over it, and if you cant I would like to see you do somethin about it. otherwise, just sit down |

It allows for a greater emotional impact as well. |

Two: It's not like you're attacking D.C. you're "saving" it goddamn it (I assume). Three: Believe it or not, America isn't a godly entity of freedom that can't be destroyed, it's just a country.........bottom line. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 958 Joined: 16 Apr 2009    | so...? No really... so what? WWII has been done to death, I've relived more battles in world war 2 than most of the soldiers did. Yet, its ok to depict the events that happened in this war, yet, an attack on D.C, which too my knowledge, has never happened as it is depicted in this trailer is... going to far? |

your being too optimistic. the first step of any politician during a national crisis is to get the hell out before anything bad happens. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 72 Joined: 3 Jul 2009    | Oh, when a Russian town/middle eastern town (wth was that anyways?) gets the holy living hell blown out of it's fine and dandy. But when we see a building blown up IN AMERICA, shit just got real! |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 73 Joined: 5 Sep 2009   | In my opioin it is perfectly fine, as other posters have said, it's mostly european cities we see destroyed. Also if im correct wasn't their a lot off Battle Scenes attacking major US Cities in World In Conflict being NYC? Im looking forward to go into a Battle torn Washington DC as it will make the change from EU cites. The only cities i would think it would be too far to look at would be Dresden, Hamburg. |
Paperboy  Posts: 13 Joined: 28 Jul 2009 | Well, I'm pretty sure that people who actually matter, or have any interest in MW2 found it incredible. There's very few things more Epic, than a war on American soil. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 399 Joined: 28 Sep 2009 | My fragile little mind.... can't... tolerate... invasion... of .... America... It makes me want to... take up terrorism... holding it back.... can't hold it.... and... No really, it's a game, who cares! |

Thats true, and it's just a game, just entertainment, if its ok to turn the darkest days of humanity into a shooting game, then it should be ok to display a fictional event such as this. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 648 Joined: 16 Dec 2007    | Jesus Christ! A shooter tries to do something somewhat newish and it happens to be something people don't like... maybe this is why there are so many nameless European countries in videogames. I'm interested in the "DC explosions" thing as a new setting, thankyouverymuch. |
Anonymous Source  Posts: 4 Joined: 16 Jul 2009 | If the apocalyptic events had happened sometime in 2008 and IW put this in as a "fuck you" to America, yes, it would be going too far. However, considering that none of those events have really happened, and the fact that it's a GAME, no it's not going too far at all. Frankly, I'd like to see what a war on our soil would seem like; I wasn't alive during the 1700s or 1800s, so I missed out on those and a game like MW2 seems like it's as good as any to show me what the developers feel would be an accurate aftermath of a large-scale assault on American soil. Finally, Andrew Heining can lick the sweat from both of my balls, as his hypocritical statement was in terrible taste. How do the Japanese and German people feel about American companies making game after game of us dominating them in WW2? I haven't heard any bitching, so why should we? |

Amen to that. As soon as something insults another thing close to their own lives, they get defensive, but...
...exactly this. If it was ANY other place besides the U.S. he could care less. I say more power to Infinity Ward for having the guts to tread ground where few would dare go. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1436 Joined: 22 Feb 2008   | yeah, that scene was pretty awesome. It's one thing to go to a foreign country to defeat some extremists, but it's something totally different to be fighting to defend the very survival of your country. It's gonna be one hell of an experience. Oh and it's not going too far. Because I said so. Anyone read the comments on that site? It's almost funny how negative the comments are. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1410 Joined: 16 Dec 2008   | The only way it could go to far, is if, in my opinion, they show rapes or people murdering children, in graphic detail. |

Okay this is a problem I have, which 'Christian' becomes some sort of fusion of EVERY religion an values are mixed up, I'm Coptic Orthodox and my mother is Catholic, in my entire extensive family (and it IS extensive i'm part Egyptian, part Italian) not one person has ever believed that, not one PRIEST has ever said that, The bible has ever stated that. Yes there are some extreme nut jobs who don't actually understand what the hell being a good christian is, then there are guys like jehova's witnesses who DO have the strict no medical care policy. But trust me I went to a coptic private school for most of my school life and they definitly immunized all of us with needles whenever a new disease came around. Hell 'Chrisitan Science' this thing right here is a religion in and of itself unrelated to christianity except claiming to be the REAL religion just like Mormonisim. And what he has said wa svery stupid and exactly a problem I addressed yesterday when people try to take censorship too far to the point it becomes draconian. I'm reminded of Full Metal Panic! with the protagonists (Sagara Sousuke) having grown up a child soldier in Afghanistan. However when the show was released in english 9/11 happened so it was renamed to 'Helmajistan' oh joy because no one could possibly understand what it was supposed to be. I mean hell Gundam dropped a freaking COLONY on Syndey taking a giant chunk out of the continent and no one hears me bitching! |
Muckraker  Posts: 339 Joined: 8 Oct 2008  | Well, I guess those Christian guys have never heard of Resistance. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2343 Joined: 10 Oct 2008    | Oh give me a break. If you listened to the dialogue oh the two sections you may have noticed something. One section about Kain and Able in which Kain cannot deny he has attacked and killed his brother, and a bit about you not understanding what you are doing because it is not your homeland burning. Something bad happened because you didn't take the good christian advice to "Turn the other cheek." It also lets us better relate to our brothers who we are at war with. That can help us better understand and love our brothers in spite of our quarrels. Hell, they should support this. |

There seems to be a trend in WWII games where your killing germans, italians, and japaneese. I haven't yet seen one where you play as the Axis for the main campaign. If that were to happen, there would most certainly be outcry of some sort. Things like this are usually just someone trying to get attention, nobody takes them seriously. For example The CBC and their Fifth Estate episode: Top Gun. The only time I actually saw any reason to argue was when CoD5 was released on 11/11/11, I personally had no issue with it but, I could understand why it would be an issue to people. I find it interesting that this "Christian Science Monitor" had no mention on the usage of Biblical References with the whole Cain and Abel story. I thought that it was awesome but, why as a christian wouldn't he comment on that (unless that part wasn't quoted). Seems more of a patriotic statement to me. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 593 Joined: 28 Jun 2009   | That's ridiculous, it's ok to blow a middle-eastern city to hell, but if it's on US soil then it's going to far |

HAHAHAHA I love your logic! Thing of beauty right here. I wish there was a Scientific Christians Monitor where we could publish this response... |
Beat Writer  Posts: 169 Joined: 27 Jun 2009  | If a game showcases a country other than America being bombed to hell, it's ok. If a game showcases America getting attacked by insurgents, STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES! Someone please locate the logic in this. |
Muckraker  Posts: 247 Joined: 13 Oct 2008 | You know what us as americans should do? Shelter ourselves from thinking bad bad thoughts. I'm an American. I was shocked at all the dumbfounded nitwits who were shocked 'something like this could happen to people like us!' when the WTC incident occured. No it wasn't surprising, yes it was terrible. But isn't that a little pompous, a little pretentious of us to think that nothing like this could or would (or should for some of you extremists) happen to the US of A? I am not appauled by this, and those fools who sit on their alters and thrones condemning such blasphemous thoughts against their poltica-ligious beliefs that America is and should always remain depicted as an unharmed unharmable and unstoppable power need a knife to the temple. They're sewing the seeds of complacency and false security. They're sewing the seeds for another incident. I also think its a little pretentious to 'care what happens to your nations capital.' Not like anyone in that building cares about me as an individual person. Friends and family sure, but bureaucracy itself could give two shits. My country isn't going to topple becauase the easily replaceable 'leaders' of our nation go up in flames. When your government is held together by the people, it stays together by the people. When its held together by the threat of open war and tribes struggling for power, maybe a 'capital asploded' situation might cause some trouble. We the people however, would be fine. |
Paperboy  Posts: 20 Joined: 8 Oct 2009 | That trailer was soooo cool...There should be a campain where YOU are the terrorists attacking America...Sure the game would get shut down but it would be interesting. |

Fear 2 had more sex in it. Hardcore man-rape by a veritable goddess (in power, not looks) > random alien STD contracted whilst in the shower. |

So it's fine to have capital cities in Europe burning, but it's too far if we have DC burning? I think they should just quit whining and look at the game for what it was: freaking awesome-looking.
