So...spoiler warning. Huge huge huge spoiler warnings
A video was leaked recently, then yanked off by Activision. I saw it...and...I really wish I hadn't.
There is a level, fairly early on (possibly the first level) in COD: Modern Warfare 2. You play as what appears to be a terrorist. You walk into a crowded airport with a machine gun.
And...you...shoot people. And you keep shooting people until you get to the exit of the airport, wherein you yourself get shot and die. Presumably, the game goes on to let you play as the guys hunting down the other terrorists.
Reactions? Is this a bold new step in video game storytelling or...just...disgusting?
I think its both.
