Comments on: Modern Warfare 2 Leaked Trailer Set to Cause Controversy http://elder-geek.com/2009/10/modern-warfare-2-leaked-trailer-set-to-cause-controversy/ Everything for the older Geek.

No matter what kind of emotion they wish to communicate with the sequence, the player is thrust right into the middle of it without any clear justification as to why he or she should just stand by and watch, and does not have the ability to shoot the terrorists while they go about their business. If they do it without adding any 'value' to the shock, then they're just doing this for the controversy, like Korne said. If this were to happen in the middle of the game, after you have been infiltrating their cell for a long time, and for the entire game it has been something you've tried to avoid, but eventually failed, it might be a nice sequence... while still pushing the limits. Sadly, I had the same thing in CoD5, where they pretty much order you to kill wounded and surrendering enemies. At least there they were enemies who had been shooting you mere seconds ago...

This is the first time I have really felt like this about a video game... weird.

I didn't want to know about this! *Forget what I read, forget what I read, forget what I read* This is why I'm gonna love this game--if even matches COD4 in terms of cinematic nature, I'll be happy.

Seriously, the game is rated M for a damn reason. I have a feeling some "Family Rights" groups want this game banned, and then the Republicans will jump in. Oh how I can't wait to see what FOX "News" has to say about this. Oh it is just going to be so much fun!!! Cool, it is a game people, Movies have been doing this for years.
