if you would complain about this, why don't you comlain abouit gta or fallout 3. I mean, even though i love gta, isn't killing people and doing random crap, which is fun, kinda what gta is based on? Yes mass murdering civilians is bad, but you can skip it , and you're undercover, and a few other things. I also was like holy crap when i saw this, but then i told my self it's a video game and to get over it. If you don't want to see it, just skip it, and don't keep complaining about it, IW just trying to thickin the story line, which gives you the urgency to do the game faster! and shoot that ****** in the face! (Makarov) (P.S. I'm not sure that u get to shoot him)

Pre-orders are apparently turning up early -- I received my copy last Friday. I posted a high quality version of the Airport mission on my YouTube account yesterday. Woke up this morning and the video's been taken down by a Copyright Infringement notice. Activision move fast.
The game itself is great, regardless of the fact that it's basically a carbon copy of previous COD formulas with zero innovation (I especially dislike the way allied soldiers STILL wait for you to move over invisible scripting triggers before they advance, but I guess it helps keep the pacing in a game such as this). The atmosphere, plot, improved graphics and excellent mission are all praise worthy. I likes. I doubt it will get anything less than a 9/10 on most review sites and magazines.

This is unnecessary for a violent video game to be this disgustingly violent. Anyone that thinks this is OK needs to seriously stop and think about their life and do some hardcore church-going.
Your first statement is contradictory. As for the second, try and keep in mind that the various religions that pepper our world are collectively responsible for an oceans worth of pain, suffering, murder and persecution, and that includes Catholicism and Christianity.
The thing's that have been done in the name of your God (such as a little thing called the Inquisition) are terrible when viewed as a whole. Also, the Bible makes it clear that God is a jealous, flawed being who advocates slavery, rape and murder on a whim, but people tend to pick and choose what parts of the Bible they wish to advocate. In closing, I would say that a person who dedicates their life to worshiping such a being, regardless of it's disputed existence, is more in need of help than a person who merely enjoys playing violent video games. Just my two cents.

Civilians being killed in a game? OH NO!
Is there really that much moral ambiguity surrounding the death of innocent pixels? A game is still just that, a game. Nobody bitched, cried, and moaned when Hotel Rwanda was in the cinema. Nobody bitched, cried, and moaned when books like Mein Kampf were put on Sociology reading lists. Why is it so odd or outlandish to assume that New Media like video games can't touch on really hard subject matter. If somebody put this much negativity in games to more influencial factors in human psychological development (Such as how one should read to their child at least 4 times a week to improve comfortable interaction and creativity of the child's psyché.) then we'd have a generation of more level headed kids.
Lashing out at 'vidya games' is just the Desperate Housewives approach to looking out for your children. You're doing the minimum amount of work to try and keep the bad things from leaking into the Kiddo's noggin.
