Call of Duty shows players killing civilians

New 'Call of Duty' lets players shoot civilians

They say it's controversial. But it's just another taboo what has to be broken.

Gaming just reached another level.

Consider this, before you decide to watch it. It's bloody intense! This game is really realistic. People are literally being massacred.

Here it is:

This game has a average review score of 9.5

It has sold 7 million copies the first day of it's release. It's still going sky-high.

Or as the BBC reported: The widely-anticipated video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been tipped to be the biggest selling video game in history.

I put this up because THIS is a major shift in gaming. - and most likely other games will follow suit. I mean you can't fall behind do you.

I didn't know If I had to open a new topic for this or to which thread I should add it, since there a lot of topics already about gaming. I preferred this one because it has all the links shown to those others threads what makes it more clear.

Made sense Bjorn, to create a new topic for it here. We have two articles on SOTT Leaked video game footage shows players shooting innocent civilians and Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 leaked footage set to ignite controversy - killing civilians is, as you say another level, on the conditioning of young people into psychopathic behaviour.

Actually my friends just showed me this game over the thanksgiving break. It's pretty twisted and the scene goes on for several minutes. You just walk through an airport and slaughter people. It's pretty revolting.

The interesting thing about the plot in the game is that we have a group attempting to foster conflict between two powers, specifically it's the US & Russia. So your character is an American spy, trying to infiltrate this group, and you see from the inside how terrorism can be used as a weapon to create war. You also get exposed to the idea of a false-flag attack.

The rest of the game is pretty fun, they take the traditional FPS and modified it to give each mission a unique flavor. IE in one mission you cover your partner from the air as he runs through the map, in another you have to disarm 3 bombs and kill the terrorists defending them in a set amount of time. I was never into First Person Shooters, but this one's done pretty well. The F'd up thing is the civ-mass-slaughter in the first mission, it's just disturbing, weird, and it didn't even seem fun to play.

So, a video game based on slaughter is 'pretty fun'.

Considering what you've read on these pages about mind programming, and the effects of video games on the brain - how, exactly, do you reconcile that with playing this game and thinking it's 'fun'??

That was a WTFudge moment

The level of realism is quite high.
One step further in blurring the boundaries between reality and virtual world.

- Hi Puck

A line has been crossed again, But nowadays it’s just controversial. If it would be 10 years ago most likely there would be a lot of resistance towards this. I doubt it would even get released in this form.

The fact of the matter is, that people get less emotional if they have to endure psychopathic behavior. They accept it! - and this game has already been widely accepted. And if you have experienced or kept track of what is happening in this industry, you will notice that little by little the psychopathic acts the gamer has to endure has increased and increased.

There are still a lot of taboo's left. But you know taboo’s meant to be broken. And they will. Give it a year and nobody will even turn his head around this. I mean new gamer experience has to be added.
If we stay where we are. It will just get boring.

Everything can become entertainment. How has this become entertainment!

This is BIG. It’s really serious! And most probably Puck if you consider this fun. Than this pathological reality has affected you.

Maybe you find this interesting, next generation has already been set. Games are already under progress with this engine. Pretty impressive:

As for realism at it’s finest. I would say maybe three to five years.

Everytime I think that things can't get worse, they get worse. I wonder if there are any subliminal messages embedded in these scenes.

I've followed the whole Modern Warfare 2-buzz with some unease. The first one was already well into the "kill ALL arabs"-mentality, which sickened me, but didn't stop me from buying it for it's "boundaries smashing multiplayer" which I found nothing out of the ordinary for the shooter genre. Well, won't fool me twice.

I wonder if there are any subliminal messages embedded in these scenes.

I'd be willing to make that bet. I would advise against watching the footage of the airport sequence, it is nothing but bad impressions anyway set to a menacing sounding music.

There has been quite a bit of depiction of U.S. military on U.S. homeland lately in movies and games by the way. Scary to think how every possible form of expression is slowly zombified into serving the purposes of the pathocrats. But then again, we happen to live in a globewide insane asylum and if something can be twisted, it WILL be twisted.

I am at a loss for words. I know this shouldn't surprise me given the world we live in but this is just sick. When gamers spend too much time in these supposed fantasy worlds they begin to view the real world and their relationship to it in a similar way. Or maybe many of them they do view the world that way. ugh.....more signs of the times.
