So when she got off the phone and I was going through the airport shotting random people she got upset.

Yeah, I think you're going to see a lot more of that. Check this out...this is from Kotaku and talks about a recent interview on Fox News.

This morning, Fox brought its "fair and balanced" reporting to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The headline? "A game that lets you play as a terrorist?" That was followed with this pre-commercial quip: "Is the game going too far? We're going to have a fair and balance debate to find out."
Jon Christensen of website Slash Gamer and Common Sense media CEO Jim Steyer discussed the issue with the Fox host. Reader Ryan transcribed the conversation from his television set. It follows:

Fox Host: Jim, you got some problems with this game?

Jim: It's mainly for adults and a well made game, but there's no doubt there's a link between violent video games and kids.

Fox Host: Jon, you essentially get to be a terrorist and kill people and it's very realistic.

Jon: You're not actually a terrorist. You're a CIA undercover agent. You are infiltrating a terrorist organization and the game specifically says, when you go into, uh when you work with this terrorist organization. You are um... (Jon loses his train of thought, awkward moment) You are a a a uh a a a CIA operative. (chuckles) I'm sorry.

Fox Host: Jim at what age is this game appropriate or is it ever appropriate?

Jim: The main issue with violent video games, including very well made made games like COD. There's no question there's correlation between violent games and kids blah blah*. It's up to the parent to decide whether they buy the game for their son or daughter blah blah*. You need to use common sense.
*blah blah blah added by reader Ryan

Fox Host: I'll give you the final world Jon

Jon: Kids can definitely pick up the game. If parents buy it for them. I have a buddy who's a manager of a store. Little kids came in to buy the game and he asked if they were over 17. They said no, so he didn't sell them the game. Retailers are doing a good job. It's been proven time and time again.

Fox Host: You bring a violent game into a house with an 8 year old, nothing to stop that kid from playing it and becoming a terrorist...on a video game.

Jon: That's ridiculous! You're not a terrorist! It's pixelated violence! You're not a terrorist!

Fox Host: It's violence.

Jon: (closing his eyes) It's not real. It's not real.

Fox Host: Jon and Jim. The debate goes on.
Not nearly as exciting as Fox's take on Mass Effect!
And yes, we'll post the actual show clip when it pops up online.

It's already starting...we'll be seeing more of this I assure you.

I agree, it's like watching a movie. Let's try not to get too far off topic with the controversy though It's just a game, and we're all gamers here! So let's just talk about what your favorite parts of the game are in this thread and debate in a different thread...

Another favorite part for me:

• In the cabin (the one with the blow up doll) when you have to protect the computer while it downloads the data from Makarov's memory card and you get bombarded with enemy forces. I just basically went in the back of the room (same room where the PC is located), laid down on the floor under a table and shot all the enemies as they were flooding in. Occasionally I threw a grenade or flash bang and made sure nobody got close enough to the PC to destroy it while it was downloading. I'd say this is the easiest method if you are playing on Veteran.

How do you lay down? I always crouched but at the beginning of some mission, the character was laying down to snipe. Never knew how to get any lower than crouch.


My favorite part is the snowmobile ride and the boat ride after Shepard closer to the end.

[VA1N]

If you hold down the button to crouch, you will lie down completely.

[JPetrillo]

The boat ride was awesome! And the knife throw to the face was the best finishing touch. I thought he was dead though. When you're laying there and you have to pull the knife out of yourself was pretty damn intense too.

I really liked the Burger Land level, where you play the Rangers and the Soviets are destroying norther virginia suburbs. I think I liked it so much because it looked exactly like the area around the AOL headquarters in N. Virginia...and the way AOL treats it's employees, a Russian invasion would be good right about now

Yeah, then hopefully they could come to columbus oh i wouldn't mind.

When I got to that part of the game I figured it was modeled as somewhere in "real life" but I had no idea where It was cool. There is an ambush special ops mission on that same map which is also really fun!

FINALLY, got around to beating MW2 in the past week.

First off the missions in D.C. were SICK, along with the previously mentioned VA invasion. That was a LOT of fun and felt very very very realistic. Sort of scary at the same time if its even if its not "possible" for a land invasion to happen here.

The ending was alright, chasing down Shepard in the boat didn't really do it for me. I didn't enjoy the snowmobile or boat parts of this game

On to Special Ops
