Infinity Ward took first person story telling to another level with this game, I was very impressed.

And I hope other companies are willing to push the envelope with their own games, because I think gamers are ready for their media to evolve.

After reading what the EA spokesman had to say, I think the title of this article should be changed. Yes he said they might have gone too far, but he didn’t say that it was necessarily bad. In fact, I fully agree with everything he had to say. You shouldn’t mislead your readers by taking random quotes out of context to put in your titles. This article could easily be called “EA tips their hat to Infinity Ward for gutsy decision in MW2″.

rolls his eyes at the dumbass.

wow .. lol another one that doesn’t “get it”..

im enjoying just watch how many people are confused by his statement.

In the game, you are playing an undercover US soldier, that has infiltrated the terrorist cell. The Russian terrorists want to spark a war between the US and Russia itself. To do so, they shoot the living shit out of everyone in a Russian airport. When you reach the end of the level, the Russian terrorist leader shoots you, thus leaving the body of an “American” terrorist on Russian soil. This in turn causes Russia to invade the US as retaliation. Thats the story of the game.

After reading through the posts, i can clearly see that it is you, who has no idea what they are talking about as i fully understood the article in every way.

Anyhow, back on subject, i have to say that i found the whole scene very shocking. But it was good for the story, and set off the motion of events to come. I did partake in killing the civilians because after thinking about it, it’s no worse than playing GTA4 and killing innocent ppl on that! It’s just so much more realistic and graphic that it kinda took my breath away for the first few seconds.

Well done to Infinity Ward for pushing the boundaries, and shame on EA for not having the bollocks to follow suit!

As for the level of the game…You didn’t have to pull the trigger if you didn’t want to…nothing negative happened to you if you just stood by without shooting…though you do have to take out some of the cops. Either way I wasn’t offended by it because IT’S A VIDEO GAME! There are a lot of things I do in video games that I would never do in real life…like jumping in a ring with a UFC fighter for one example! Or trying to shoot lightning out of my hands while grinding on a train rail! Get my point?

maybe i dont understand what they are saying…whether i do or dont, the argument about 9/11 is ridiculous…how is it like that at all?…the video game contains insane amounts of gray area material…it was russia, it was russian terrorists, it was russian supernationalists, etc….it is subjective…….in real life, who-done-it is objective..or at least it would be in a non-racist, perfect world…you cant make that comparison and expect people to agree with you…a video game tragedy can never be compared to a real life tragedy on a topic outside of creating realism

im not rushing to anyones defense here, im just pointing out fallacies…also, it gives me a good laugh that you think the “she” and “twelve” would get to me…funny thing is, i dont know you and never will, i dont care about your minuscule attempts at insulting me….if anything, you make my day better because i just smile

You’re right; she didn’t understand what I was trying to say. But that’s what happens when you rush to someone’s defense and you’re twelve.

i don’t think you understand what Nosferatus is saying…

I’ve played the 40th day and IT SUCKS! The camera is so dodgy and how any games tester can honestly say it’s ok is beyond me so keep on sprouting out crap EA Games, I hate acitvision and bobby kotick but it’s always nice to see when someone from a rivel games company can’t take losing.

There were incidents in 1985 in Rome and Vienna airports when Palestinian terrorists attacked airline workers and passengers at EL AL counters waiting to board flights to Isreal for Christmas.

It is just that we have been overly sensitized to what happens in the rest of the real world. This happens on a daily basis in some form around the world. And if bringing that fact out in a video game is what it takes to open eyes to a fact of life then we should use it to teach children the consequences of what could happen if X,Y or Z conditions come true.

youre an idiot…have you even played the game?….also, youre comparing a video game to real life? you really are an idiot
