Controversial MW2 gameplay leak. *spoilers inside*

[Dudeakoff]

So basically there's a bit in the game where you kill a lot of civilians in an airport.

Can't see Fox news liking this one.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but the search turned up nothing.

Its impossible to tell from such a crappy quality video with no sound, but it does look pretty brutal.

Wow, I think Glen Beck will make another meme out of this.

What?!? Glenn Beck crying over something and blowing it way out of the water?!? Noooooooo. (/sarcasm)

This doesn't bother me and you want to know why? Because it's a video game.

 

[Inco]

Eh... Media frenzy can occur over this..
Though the mindless killing of innocents is pointless, if it is justified (your the terrorist is the most likely) then i don't mind.

Maybe the needed to be killed, the job isn't always goody-goody bleeding heart shit but it needs to be done.

Seeing as this is apparently at the beginning of the game, there's no context, and the best assumption would be that you're playing the part of a terrorist seeing as a SWAT team appears to arrive towards the end of the video, plus the fact that you'd find it hard to think of a situation where the good guys have to kill everyone in an airport.

Quite clearly it's an airport full of hitler clones duuuhhhh.

 

[Ben7]

Didn't think you would play that, interesting...

I know that controversy equals publicity but this is just overkill. Playing as terrorists. Killing innocent civilians. Fox News and Jack Thompson never had it easier... Their two favourite scapegoats. Terrorists and video games all in one neat little package.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

It'll be interesting to see how they pass it off...

"They're super terrorists from space! ... In disguise!"

 

[HK_01]

I can only imagine that you are playing a terrorist in that sequence, kind of like the part in MW where you saw events from the point of view of the president except that you actually play as the evil terrorists.

 

[Amnestic]

I fail to see the issue here. If you are indeed playing as a TURRURIST then they really do go around massacring civilians. Where's the problem again?

 

[troutmonkey]

Great, now its likely to be Banned in Australia....

Fox will be chill, guys. It's violence, not sex, and it's clear you are the Big Bad.

No, thats just the staff.

From what I see, you're playing as the terrorists/baddies in this... You can see that the other guys are wearing suits/.......baddie clothing and you can see sleeves on your own arms. It isn't unlike in COD4 when you go through that level from the viewpoint of Al-Fulani, just this is more interactive; seems like the game will be a lot more full on than COD4.

Well played IW, I still hate you for skullfucking us PC users though; nothing personal, but I would slap you if I saw you irl, IW. Dick move, dick move.

I thought the first mission was the one in the mountains?

That's one of the early missions. The bit at the bottom says "Day 2".
