Some footage has been leaked of Modern Warfare 2 which has already stirred up controversy. The scene lets you play as a terrorist as you enter a crowded airport and open fire on innocent civillians. It is being called tasteless by some, and downright discraceful by others. Activision says the scene will not be removed, stating that the it is in there to show the aweful nature of the terrorist, and not to glorify them.

“Yes [it is real]. The scene establishes the depth of evil and the cold bloodedness of a rogue Russian villain and his unit. By establishing that evil, it adds to the urgency of the player’s mission to stop them.
Players have the option of skipping over the scene. At the beginning of the game, there are two ‘checkpoints’ where the player is advised that some people may find an upcoming segment disturbing. These checkpoints can’t be disabled.
Modern Warfare 2 is a fantasy action game designed for intense, realistic game play that mirrors real life conflicts, much like epic, action movies. It is appropriately rated 18 for violent scenes, which means it is intended for those who are 18 and older.”

This game should be banned. I don’t believe humanity can handle mature content nor to I believe in freedom of expression. I’m also a communist.

Hmm, making a sarcastic point isn’t as effective when a typo is involved.

Hii..
The story mode is going to be so awesome… but I fear for the multi player.. I think there is too much overpower perks and the shield. also the AC gunship, predator missile and nuke is going to mess up on multilayer. I really hope I won’t be disappointed.
