I am not.
We currently have a big debate here in Germany if violent video games have any negative effect on children, especially now after a school shooting. MW2 with its airport level will certainly not help.
And even without this discussion, I really don't see what this airport level is about except cheap sensationalism. It is certainly not well made enough to support the claim from IW "to show the horrors of terrorism".
Besides that, compared to MW1 the new one is shorter and lacks features. And the gameplay is still just a shooting gallery where you have to walk from gallery to gallery with some explosions on the way.
No, I am not excited.
You sure seem to know a lot about a game that isn't out yet... the only thing confirmed is the PC dedicated server thing (which I'm not a PC gamer, but I understand the community's frustration), but as far as gameplay, you really can't make an informed judgment until you play the actual game. From the stories and info released, there seems to be several new features, especially in multiplayer.
As far as the "airport" scene, I can understand the harsh reaction to it, but where do you get off thinking its "not well made enough"? It makes sense, you see this horrible thing go down, and you want to take the guy responsible and rip his nuts off. Movies and TV shows have used shock value as a emotional motivator for years, and I think that is a dynamic idea. Also, if you don't like it, they made it skippable, so you don't have to go through it.
Lastly, I'm sick and damned tired of the "violent video games made me do it" bull crap. There are people on this planet that are insane and are going to go off, plain and simple. A US Amry Major shot over 20 people in the name of Islam, so should Islam be banned. Hell no, b/c he was an insane and violent nutcase. Many of these people are already insane, and pushed to the limits by some other factor, usually be being made fun of, and instead of being mature, learning not let words have power over them, the go kill them instead... Video games may give some ideas on how to do their evil deeds, but so do movies, tv shows, books, comics, ect... should we ban all violent content?
