You don't read to well do ya? Clearly i said you can skip this, and that is why the game didn't get banned in some regions.  Whether you actually do any killing yourself there is still killing of innocent civilians that you are accompany to, and are not stopping. And IF you choose to play this part of the game, as most will, then you are forced to at very least witness the killing of innocent civillians.

Again, censors are upset because this encourages killing civillians in the game, as im sure most people who play the game will pop a couple off.

No not at all lol

It'll probably be one of the best levels in MW2. Can't wait to play it.

I know you said that. You contradicted yourself.

You are not forced to do anything. You can play through the campaign without shooting civilians in an airport. And I highly doubt that anyone will play this level in a game and think "Hey, I'm going to go shoot people in an airport". It's meant to be shocking, it is supposed to show the horrors of terrorism.

Alaikum Salam, lucky some people find ignorance as a bliss.

Yes I am!  I am boycotting the game!   Ok I am not I am used to it in games.

Who exactly are outraged by this? The gamers, or the mass media? If it's the first then well... first time I see Gamers outraged by killing innocents (aside from GTA, anyone remember the option to blowing up that cruiseship in Splinter Cell Double Agent? You were actually working for terrorists 50% of the time.)

If its the second, well, then it's same old-same old. I stopped caring about the mass media coverage of games (especially by sensationalists) about the time games were connected to school-shootings.

Secretly I hoped that at some point we got to this point. I've always found it a shame that Call of Duty never let us play from a wehrmacht-perspective. As I see it, CoD glorifies war and fighting from a single persons perspective, how a soldier sees it without being to concerned for the war or "Why we fight". We just do. What is wrong with playing the enemy? We have been shooting Americans and British, at least in multiplayer since the days of Medal of Honour and BF1942.
Plus, it seems to forego the heroïsm soldiers on both sides show. Here in Holland we actually have a statue for a wehrmacht soldier who saved two childeren from a burning barn when it was bombed by allies. I can imagine some Al-Quada soldier in Afghanistan doing the same.

Mind you, I don't glorify the idea of killing innocents the way terrorists do now in real life or the Germans went about the holocaust but in games, give us both sides just like a movie can do.

Nah, I bet the space level will

I couldnt give 2 shits about "virtual" terrorism, when i see the real thing then ill be disgusted.

Hypothetically, lets say we've advanced video game graphics, physics, AI, etc so far, that we can't distinguish between real and fake footage of murders and terrorism. Would you still be disgusted?

To me, the thing that got me in the video wasn't really the civilian killings. You could do that in any other game. What got me was the AI, physics,  and animation. People weren't dead instantly and going rag doll, but they were crying, crawling, and begging. COD4's graphics aren't that great, but the animation in that scene was realistic as hell O.o

I'm only disgusted that I found out about it before playing the game, which will ruin the suprise.
