if your offended then dont buy the game. We keep asking developers for a more realistic experience and that is what we r getting. GTA is no worse

When we want realism, its about graphics. Not contextual violence against innocents.
I find it hard to be believe that even you, wern't i little shocked by that video.

lol whoever wrote this article is an idiot. Where have you been in the past 10 years, under a rock? There's been stuff like this and worse in other games as well. You need to just relax, oh and welcome back from your loooong hibernation.

I don't see this as anything worse than GTA. Where are the people who want to get GTA taken off the shelves?

Look, I do agree that with a senseless intent, this would probably be obscene, but the companies have both come out and stated the purpose of this mission which you can read on their website, but in reality. This puts HUGE perspective on what your not only fighting in the game but what true horrors are in the world today. Get over it its just a game you dimwitted assholes. find something better to do than to project your “political” views on everything. STFU.

this isn't madness, THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!

why do people keep saying “innocent people” its a game… there just “innocent” pixels. Plus GTA is worse… you can pick up a hooker have sex then kill her and get your money back…

GTA Is worse.
Fallout 3 is way worse you can cut of their limbs.
Saints Row is worse.
Your a fucking retard.
MW2 Gonna Be ORGASMIC

Why should scenes like this never be in a video game? It's no different to any other game in which you kill innocent people, GTA is the perfect example.

If anything, at least it's topical. Whenever people go to an airport, they worry about terrorists. This game is simply buying into popular fears.

After all the trouble thats gone on in the past ten years i realy cannot belive they included an airport level let alone mowing down inocents. I dont care what you say about GTA or FALLOUT. This is worse because those games are quite comical. THIS IS NOT.

Yes! Next time the undercover agent should go with an AK-47 to a school! Or a maternity ward! It's only pixels, you weenies! Besides, he is doing it for a GOOD CAUSE! And the players understand how bad it is to be a terrorist - all thanks to playing such wonderful games!
When shall we see the computer version of 9/11?

“I do no suggest children watching this.”

It's an 18 rated game you idiot.

“It's an 18 rated game you idiot.”

This should be a 21 rated game you idiot. It should be sold in special sections of video game stores.

BTW, when EXACTLY did the rating stop underage idiots playing r-rated games?

“BTW, when EXACTLY did the rating stop underage idiots playing r-rated games?”
Oh I dunno FOR YEARS NOW?

“Yes! Next time the undercover agent should go with an AK-47 to a school! Or a maternity ward! It's only pixels, you weenies! Besides, he is doing it for a GOOD CAUSE! And the players understand how bad it is to be a terrorist - all thanks to playing such wonderful games!

When that does happen look me up and we can play some co-op.

Fallout 3? Comical? Have you even played it? Just because it's set in a made-up era doesn't make it comical, I could eat people, kill innocent civilians and I could set off a damn nuke, how is that more comical than what you do in that Airport in MW2?

It's a game, it's not real, you don't see people complaining about this stuff in movies, people need to get it out of their head that all games are meant for children.

If this is madness, then what the fuck about all the Grand Theft Auto's? Please this is nothing compared to GTA.

Puhleeeeease! GTA is a game where you assume the role of a comic book type anti-hero. “It says so right there on the cover”. In MW2 you are supposedly the good guy. The anti-terrorist dogooder. The one, who, however, thinks it is OK to massacre a bunch of civilians. For the greater good, nonetheless.

I do not play GTA - I do not care about “bad guy” games. But I do not object - they told us the game will be about the bad guys, so I make an educated decision not to buy that product. Fair is fair. Same with Postal - I know what it is about and I choose not to play it.

However if I want to play the “good guy” side, I do not expect the game to offer me a mission of a mass murderer. MW2 does, however.

Is THAT clear?

So if the scene is killing people in the middle east instead of an airport, then it's OK. Dumbfucks. People are too sensitive….. stop fuckin' crying.

Where the f**k did you learn to read? Where did anyone say that the middle east civillians mass murder scene is OK? Dumbf**k. Stop f**king posting.

I can't wait to mow down all of those civilians. IT WILL BE GLORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a member of the german heer KSK Division, I am glad that they are showing this. People, this is depicting war. War isn't pretty. Wake up and smell the coffee. Innocent people die in war. Thats why it is called war. If it wasn't they would called it happy fun time where everybody shakes hands before and after a invasion. And isn't video-games supposed to portray the person you are playing as. Bravo IW. Please make it as brutal as possible. I want children to see this and do something besides join the army when they get older, Unlike me. i was the kind of child who played as a sniper who killed Nazi's and wanted to do that my whole life. I was bumfuck Afghanistan for four years, and didn't get to see my daughter for her first three birthdays.

I bet the toughest decision you stupid whining bitches ever had to make is if you want a coke or pepsi…i might be the only person on this goddamn page who has seen the full video where the soldier is decapitated on iraqi television. I want this game shoved in our face and to show the youth what real war is. Im so sick and goddam tired of little kids who want to go kill. Listen i might be the only person on this page who has killed multiple men, and trust me, little kids reading this, That is something that you cannot take back and that is something that you does not leave your mind. No one is the “Good guy” or “Bad guy” in war. Everyone kills, everyone takes life away from another person, and kills a people that someone loved like a brother or a father or son. Hell if this game came out four years ago, i might have actually not joined the military.

P.S if anyone is worried about their sons or daughters shooting up a school or airport, Don't by them this game and shelter them and baby them their whole fucking life. Trust me, If any little Fuckers tries shooting up my airport, i promise you that the german special forces will drop those little bastards like a bad girlfriend

Spoken truly by a person who has never ever been to war.

Listen, I was in Afghanistan for four years. I have seen shit go down. And trust me when i say this, no one is a “good guy” in war. Everyone kills, Everyone loses a family member that they loved. When i returned home after my tour, my daughter didn't even know who I was. I missed four of my son's birthdays. War is hell. That is why it is called war. Its not called happy fun time, where we shake everyones hand before we shoot plastic bullets at each other.

Now if you don't want your child to see this, I understand, but im buying this for my son for the first day. you know why? I want him to see what war is really like. Not like W@W where there are fucking Nazi Zombies. I want him to choose another path besides military, unlike what i did. I was raised with a single mother, and when she wasn't home, i would play video games, most first person shooters like call of duty and medal of honor, and for the longest time, i wanted to join up and fight for my country.I did, and i regret it. If anyone is reading this, Get this game for a child that wants to join the military, and force him to play it. Show him/her what real war is like.

lol you bunch of fairys, it's a video game, it doesn't look that realistic… its not that shocking, no worse than thousands of films.

do you all live in caves or something ? if you find this shocking you must have lived VERY sheltered lives.

The game is rated M. Children are not intended to play this game. I want a compelling narrative and I can handle it. What do you think happens in Grand Theft Auto? Civilian killing? Yes please. It's a game.

R rated games? If you don't even know the rating system for games, then you shouldn't be commenting on what people should or shouldn't do regarding their purchases. Go back to playing your Atari and listen to what Oprah tells you.

Mate all I have to say is. That is 100% truth. Fucking well said. Hopefully this makes all the little kids that want to join the Military to play with guns actually think with their fucking head for a second.

As you said, war isn't fun, war is war.

You do not know who I am. I come from a land where 900 innocent civillians went to a night performance of a musical and over 150 never returned home. Thanks to the terrorists and clumsy actions of the authorities. That had actually happened almost in my back yard - I live close to that theatre. I come from a land where over 330 - out of which 180 were children - never returned from their first day in school. Also thanks to the terrorists.

I suggest you go and explain that war is hell to the relatives of all those people. I suggest you buy several hundred of MW2 games and distribute them among the relatives of those who died because of the terrorists - the real ones that knock on your door, not the ones that threaten someone else in another hemisphere.

Yes, you are right, I cannot understand how mowing civillians that do not even respond to you in a computer game (in co-op mode as well, probably) will make mine you your children understand the horrors of war. This somehow slips my mind.

So you say that if you would have given a task - as a secret agent posing as a terrorist, in order not to blow your cover - to kill a couple hundred innocent people, you would do it? Or you would not? As you have been to real war?

And then again, you would WANT your child to go through this - though virtually - in a computer game?

Once again, what you see in that level of the game is not “war”. It is a mindless scripted sequence that MAKES you act as a bad guy. A very bad guy that is - your victims are not even trying to retaliate and you are supposed to “shoot” even those that are shown trying to save the others. You cannot make a different choice - I am pretty sure that if instead of carnaging the innocents you would try to kill your “partners” you would never progress to the next level. Where is “teaching that the war is bad” in that? Where is the fun at least?

I have also seen the decapitation video. Believe me, that somehow did not make me want to play MW2.

All of your reasoning slips my mind. Altogether. I admit it. Perhaps because I am not a teenager anymore and I have two kids myself. Perhaps because the terrorist threat is all-too-real in my country. No, it is not USA or Britain.

go play 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs' if you dont want to see it

Listen….you haven’t got a Goddamn clue what i’ve seen in my life. I am a retired German Recon and KSK soldier and have PTSD. Have you have seen a whole village been torched to the ground because of a bad missile strike? have you had to take their remains beck to a hospital at HQ, and tell their families “Well im sorry their not coming home today because a asshole gave the wrong coordinates.” ? I guess not. what did those people deserve….nothing. They where Afghanie farmers living peacefully in a village until my recon team showed up and fucked up their ways of life. obviously, you haven’t hear about the rules of engagement for the German army….If they look like they have a weapon, their hostile. Yeah tons of innocent people die in war. I WW2 forty-seven million civilians died, while only twenty million military died. I saw only because only half as many military died as civilians.

You have never heard of a battle called Tora Bora have you? We speculated the Osama ben laden was hiding in the Mts of Tora Bora. You know how many Al-Qaeda died? around one thousand. you know how man Germans, American’s or Brits died? none. i have seen that MW2 video before. I don’t recall one thousand people dieing. Tora Bora was a massacre, and i feel like shit for helping with that cluster fuck.

I didn’t say that would make you wanna play MW2. I said it makes you realize that their are people out their doing that to soldiers. and I would hate to have to hear that that kinda thing would happen to you family. If you guys haven’t heard or even looked on the German news papers at all, Since obamas election, suicide bombs in Pakistan and Berlin, on American air force bases. They are covering it up because of the mass population. listen, If you also read down their i said get this for a child that wants to go into the military, and show him what real war is like. This game is rated mature for a reason. why are you on a website, talking crap about a game your not going to buy? that baffles me. Are you just made that a game is coming out that actually shows the real world for what is it? Life is not like Spiro the dragon. People die in violent ways, that is what life is like. If you don’t want your child playing this game, good. Stop tolling your hate on websites. and its not just your country that has terrorist threats. Right now Al-Qaeda are threatening my country with suicide bombs. you know why, We are the reason they hate everybody. Go look up ww2 history during North Africa. The Nazi’s ruined the way of life for the Muslims

Has everyone lost their mind?? does anyone remember Grand Theft Auto?? I am sorry but video games do not make me want to go out and murder New York. They are just fun as hell. If you have a problem with the game don't fucking buy it. I was in the 82nd airborne and I have been over seas, I also agree with the last post that people should be subjected to realism if thats what they are after. Anyone who has a problem with things of this nature in my opininion lives in fantasy land were guns shoot gumdrops that float softly onto your tongue and war generates milk chocolate in your water fountains. Wake up smell the roses and don;t buy the game you hippie faggots.

Well if you want to play the game as “the good side” then need no fear. You can skip the level! Infinity Ward implemented a way to skip the level without playing because it was deemed not fit for all. So stfu… Play the game.

As for me SHOOOOOOT the civi's! WOOT hope they give you a pistol in the level to so you can take out knee caps!

Come on*

Come on*

nice i couldnt agree more. of course the damn video is down and i didnt get to see it but your right. im in an rotc program and everyone is just like what you said and it really pisses me off.

nice i couldnt agree more. of course the damn video is down and i didnt get to see it but your right. im in an rotc (you said you were german and im pretty sure its only american but it trains high school and colledge kids to be ready for the military) program and everyone is just like what you said and it really pisses me off.

you think mw2 is like real war??? you are more stupid than i thought… if you really been in afghanistan you should know that it is nowhere near real war… go buy your kid operation flashpoint 2… mw2 is just run n gun, if you make your kid play this hes just wanna go join the army anyway

you dumbasses you're playing as a CIA operative undercover, thats why you (the player gets your head blown off at the end of the level)

madness? THIS IS MODERN WARFARE 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“.44magnum shot to the chest”

It's just perceived as more graphic and disturbing because it mimics whats in the news every day, and people are afraid of that. There is FAR worse scenarios in games like GTA, Saints Row, ect… not to mention on TV today..

COD just has shiny graphics, throws in some terrorism and shit hits the fan..

Get real people. Its a game.

!! When u put the game in it asks you if you would like to skip an EXtremly violent mission (this one) if you say no than playing this is your fault Simple as that

If parents dont like DONT BUY THE DAMN GAME read the ESRB square which says intensly violent!!

Damn people gotta blame others ffs
