Modern Warfare 2's Controversial Opening [Video] - http://digg.com/gaming_...
"I really wouldn't want to see kids playing that, but let's define terms here. To me a kid is someone who can't sit through Schindler's List or Apocalypse Now. The 16 year old who goes, "Oh cool! Look at all the blood!" is a kid. The 16 year old who can understand the implications of that scene and the reasons it may be important for the mood of the piece probably is not. This does cross an ugly line; but not the one I think you're referring to. I would say what happens in those 8 minutes speaks volumes about the human condition. It says more about real world tragedies more than a memorial wall ever could. You are witnessing every school shooting, every suicide bombing, and every sociological killer. You're given a glimpse of how awful those scenarios are. IW has dumped a lot of disturbing truth about the grotesque things people are capable of into the player's lap. It's not pretty, and it will take a mature mind to grapple with it." - Bill
