Christians don't like Modern Warfare 2
Posted on Wednesday, 7 October 2009 by Speed, source: Christian Science Monitor
Activision - Blizzard recently launched the Infamy trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and of course someone took offense.
The Christian Science Monitor has put up an article saying the game is going too far by bringing the battle to the US and showing how the White House gets destroyed:
The Christian Science Monitor has put up an article saying the game is going too far by bringing the battle to the US and showing how the White House gets destroyed:
...
in the upcoming “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2/Infamy” one thing stands out: the gallant mansion reduced to rubble doesn’t belong to some crazed separatist dictator hellbent on all kinds of nefarious acts. Instead, it’s the White House. The scenes of post-apocalyptic scenes of carnage play out not in some fictional town in eastern Europe, but in Washington D.C. itself.

Does the game go too far? Is it offensive?
Many on game forums are quick to point out that this is not the first time the US capital has been destroyed on-screen (remember 1997’s “Independence Day?” Little green men made kindling of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue). And with what’s coming out of the gaming industry these days (Grand Theft Auto IV, anyone?) is this any worse? Maybe not. But this is one of the first times such striking imagery has surfaced since 9/11, when the idea of widespread destruction on US soil was suddenly thrust into reality.
