I am an atheist, an objectivist and I absolutely care about morals. And this is far from immoral. Its allowing players to see both sides...its fine when your clearly blowing the heads off of clearly evil people but when you need to make a decision (a moral choice) it doesn't turn the activity bad.
Second of all and this is probably more important than any of this stupidity.
ITS A F**KING GAME YOU RETARDS! If you don't like, dont f**king play it. In fact go play "Hello Kitty Island Adventure: Gay little girl" version so I never have to play against you in multiplayer you damn pathetic morons.

If you aren't going to have the balls to keep the video up, delete the article. This does me no good.

"We have removed the video of this scene following a request from Activision's lawyers regarding copyright infringement."
LOL? They asked that an ADVERTISEMENT be removed?!!? Are they that dumb!? Its FREE ADVERTISING. FREE PROMOTION OF YOUR PRODUCT AND YOU WANT IT TAKEN DOWN?!

Hi Ian,
If only it was a matter of testicles. Sadly it's not, it's also a matter of legal realities. As soon as the footage becomes available in such as way as to not actually infringe on copyright - e.g. the day the game goes on sale - we'll run our own film. Until then, a lengthy legal battle with Activision which we would lose because the footage was shot before the content became anything other than the private property of the company, would result in no more news or anything else coming from this site.
Now, while I'm sure this will be met with responses such as, "No loss there" from your good self, I'd like to think that more news sources getting more news out there - albeit for a short time - is a good not bad thing.
The footage is real; the content is in-game; it will remain in-game I'd imagine on release on November 10th. The controversy and debate will also be there. I'd very much like us to be there to cover it as well.
My personal opinion on this is that it's about time that the fact that in conflicts, hideous things do happen to innocent people was made plain in video games. The sanitisation of actual civilian slaughter that enables publishers, developers, and gamers to put up a 1950s Hollywood pretence that war is honourable rather than disgusting needed exposing. It's a shame, however, that Infinity Ward and Activision couldn't say that out loud.
Finally Ian, I'm sorry if you feel let down, but I there's no point in putting your balls on the table, then presenting the psychotic giant ball eater with the knife and saying 'Please chop here' if you have no defence against the blade.
Cheers
