The problem is that everything in thisgame is possible.Traitorous generals,emp bombs knocking out 2 thirds of u.s. power,all of it could happen.That is why the game should stir up an emotional response,not a massacre in an airport. Ironicaly,that is probably the most unlikely to actually happen with today’s beefed up security forces.

[...] it because of that controversial scene where the player acts out a terrorist attack? Nope. It’s because the game’s PC version [...]

I think more games should follow Infinity Ward’s(and Sucker Punch’s) lead, I mean they’re aren’t doing anything new we’ve all played GTA, but by sheltering us into being good like in almost EVERY SINGLE GAME really restricts people’s thoughts and seriously gets boring after awhile; it’s refreshing to see that game developers are willing to push the envelope in order to enhance MW2′s story and when it comes down to it if you have a problem with it you have the freedom to skip the scene, or just not buy the game at all.

@Jared Newman

It seems worse to me because, unlike a movie where you have no control over what goes on onscreen, you can only win the level in this game if you have your character kill innocent people. To put it another way, no one goes to a movie where you are rooting for a villain/general evildoer. Even if innocent people in a movie are killed, 99% of the time they are killed by the antagonist, the guy you want to see the hero stop. However, this games makes you the villain and forces you to want to kill the innocent. It is forcing you to commit a horrible (albeit virtual) act.

This is of course personal opinion, and I’m sure most people won’t be bothered by this, but I believe that this is why Activision is putting the warning screen in there.

Can we dig deeper here? @NanoGeek and @Backlin, why, in your opinion, is it worse — and not just different — that the scene is interactive? Are you afraid of the emotions the scene might stir up?

I don’t want to sound rhetorical, but let me put it another way: Should video games be nothing more than popcorn entertainment, carefully packaged to provide fun while sheltering the player from anything more thoughtful?
