>And in the final room, you confront an unarmed woman. She tries to divert you. She moves despite your warnings to stop. She then grabs a bomb detonator. You have to shoot her.
>This is the nature of modern combat, the developers say. But this should not be a part of a modern video game, in my opinion, given the thin line between civilians and warriors and given the impression it creates in our world, which is driven by social media sound and video bites. It looks so much like you are killing innocent civilians. And if you make a mistake, you are.
How can you make a mistake if the game forces you to kill the people you're supposed to kill and prevents you from killing the people you aren't supposed to kill?

Yeah, why would the devs of a realistic military shooter want to show violent scenes that are based on real world events? This guy just sounds like a massive faggot who doesn't want violence in a fucking shooter because he thinks it will cause real world violence. It's typical "journalist" dogshit where they try so hard to sound like real deep enlightened thinkers but it's actually just verbose hollow nonsense.

>Indeed, despite the weak story, Modern Warfare 2 is one of the best video games ever made. After all, any game that lets you massacre a bunch of chickens has to be great, right?
>…
>That is in spite of, or perhaps because of, a controversial scene in which the player can mow down a bunch of civilians in a Russian airport.
>I didn’t find fault with game maker Infinity Ward for including that scene, which is central to the plot because it sets in motion a war between the Russians and the U.S. (spoiler alert).
>…
>By the end of it, you’ll find that you’re shooting at a bewilering array of enemies: Russian civilians, terrorists, Brazilian thugs, Russian Army regulars, American soldiers and an American general. There are so many enemies that you wind up fighting in a lot of different places.
>The only person you don’t get to shoot is Makarov, the bloody bastard terrorist who causes the conflagration. I can’t tell you how profoundly unsatisfying it is that you don’t get to deliver payback to this guy in the game. It’s as disappointing to me as the cliffhanger ending of Halo 2, which ended mid-story. The problem with the plot is that it moves from something that could really happen — a terrorist triggering a war between superpowers — into a crazy, implausible and paranoid story about an alliance between a terrorist and a decorated American general and his troops.
>I suspect most hardcore players will shrug off these plot flaws. The plot serves to create a wide variety of battlefield experiences, in contrast to the older Call of Duty games which had you stuck on either the Western Front or the Eastern front in World War II. In fact, I thought the Afghanistan setting would have been plenty interesting to explore for more missions.
>Afghanistan makes for an interesting place to start because it’s relevant as a modern battlefield and it raises a lot of questions about the brutality of modern warfare.

Imagine being so brain-dead that you can't understand Modern Warfare means "this is what happens during warfare in the modern age". I for one am glad that women are finally considered equal enough to be shot just as innocently as men.

This is a "reboot" of the franchise. It's a new story with recycled themes and characters so they can cash in on decade old nostalgia. From what I gather from the trailer it's going to be a Syrian sympathy simulator with the modern version of Russian fearmongering tossed in. So get ready for epic battles to assist brave ISIS fighters and special ops killing domestic European "terrorists" for daring to question the uncontrolled flow of refugees.

Because vidya journalism wants to feel "professional", and so are apt to want people that know how to write, (and shill for and against products and ideas) and have degrees to "prove" it, not know how to actually play something properly for which there isn't a degree (and I hope there is never deemed a reason for one). Thus you get people that can't cut it for actual journalism, as low quality as that is itself, getting into a field they really don't care for, because the entry level is low and they still feel some small amount of importance in their lives, being sent free shit by companies and getting invited to talk with indie devs and shit. And then there's the whole clickbait on the side to bring in some extra shekels.
