MW3 Minor Spoiler, (A Death scene)

[strangemoose]

hey has anyone you watched CNN lately? there was a top story of children protesting in Kenya and being beaten by police officers for doing so, if people think a collection of ones and zero's being "killed" by a bomb in a video game is controversial then they've got some problems

Here we go again with the effing do good'ers and other left wing twats. Its not violent, its not graphic. Now you see little Annie playing on the footpath, POOF! shes gone! big deal. I seam to remember cutting down scores of Russians at an airport a few years ago, and need i say it, but grand theft auto anyone? manhunt, solider of fortune, all these games depicting scenes of graphic violence far worse than a little girl mimicking David Copperfield.

Thanks for spoiling part of the game for me.
As for what I think of it, whatever. No Russian wasn't a big deal and neither was this.

The Call of Duty series is desensitizing people to violence and death. Their games are aimed at an immature audience that will think killing everyone who is not the same as you is the right thing to do.

The intention is probably the exact opposite as they try to show how terrible and brutal war is.

even though they are failing completely, but then again these people who make the games cant even categorize or name their weapons correctly so im not surprised.

The only issue is that Call of Duty is at the forefront of mainstream gaming. When people think of video games they think of Call of Duty, and when they think of Call of Duty they think of airport massacres and the death of children. I love CoD, but the developers are only asking for trouble, unless this game has an incredibly complex and emotional storyline--and this is Call of Duty we're talking about--this is only going to further advance the idea that video games are inappropriate and dangerous.

Considering I love to brutatly murder kids in games it makes me hate the cod game less x

If it bothers anyone then you should stay away from games and media because when fake things being killed bother you somthings wrong

It's not even slightly controversial. As someone else said in another thread, you don't see the kid choking to death, nor anyone else doing the same. Just her and her mother disappearing in a cloud of green smoke, while the dad falls over and seemingly dies instantly, without any gasping breathes or choking sounds.

To be honest, TV shows have scenes that are a lot more controversial then that one.

Agree with this. Remember that scene in Lost where Sayid shot Ben as a kid outright? There was blood and everything, but I don't remember anyone complaining about it at all. Yet we see one kid disappear as the truck explodes....

To be honest, if this scene was not in a video game series that hadn't had that No Russian level, I don't think it would get even close as much attention. And if it had't been in a video game at all, no one would give a shit!

"I'm not sure if killing other people who are different than me is right, but if CoD says it's OK, then I'm down." Please, give your fellow man at least a little credit.

OT: I didn't think it was nearly as disturbing as No Russian, mainly because you aren't part of the act.

Why is the environment so gray? It looked like the girl was standing in a black and white photo.

Psh, that was so forced. It's screaming "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, I'M BEGGING TO HAVE CONTROVERSY SURROUND ME FOR SALES!" They just want buzz.

The only reason I don't want this to get a media shitstorm following it is because that's obviously what the developers want. They want people to talk about this game in every way possible.

TRIPLE FATALITY!

pfffft who cares? I loled, Infinity Ward loled, Activision loled and on release day 20 million people will lol and move on with the REAL world once they are done playing.

Please take a minute to judge the video.

Please fix the damn title of your thread in order to avoid spoiling the damn story for more people.

Thanks for ruining it for me by the way.

At least someone else is sharing my views on this.

Fuck, can I play one Cod game without the main story elements being posted everywhere? What the fuck guys.

You should apply to Fox. I'm sure they have a place for you.

 

[Dogstile]

Also, how the fuck is this a spoiler at all? It doesn't say which child, why the child dies, how the child dies, what importance the death of the child has to the plot. This isn't a fucking spoiler, guys.

No, but it ruins a scene actually intended to get an emotional response out of the player. Which makes it a spoiler, as it spoils the shock of seeing that scene for someone. So yes, its a spoiler.

These are my exact thoughts. Even though it is a game, it annoys me that developers have to create scenes like this, especially in game franchises that intentionally have no real emotion added to it.
Also, this has probably been mentioned, but FOX is going to have a field day with this...

what did he spoil? the fact that CoD did a controversial thing to gain publicity? you know that's the only reason they made this, just like the scene at the airport in MW2.

kids die every day, from bombs, aids and war. We dont see it, but its not like it doesnt happen. As I type this at least 5 kids probably died somewhere. If this upsets you then find some bridge to jump off of cuz thats life.
