I just tried COD Modern Warfare II in my cousin´s xBox 360, and played the level know as "No Russian". This level raised controversy worldwide because the player participates in a terrorist attack on an airport terminal, in wich terrorists machine gun a crowd of civilians. The scene is disturbing, disgusting, horrific, shocking, annoying. The trails of blood, the people screaming defenceless and crawling wounded, piles of bodies, etc. It reminded me of Beslan School, of 9-11, Dubrovka theatre, Fort Hood, Columbine, Madrid, London, of the bombings in Iraq or the shooting sprees of Mumbay, any place where innocents are slaughtered because somebody at the bottom of mankind dignity decided that they are to die.
Personally i think that this mission, wich made such an scandal, was probably one of the best in the game. Don´t get me wrong, i like the targets shooting back at me, but this scene, wich is immersive enough to drive anybody mad at the bad guys, hit the nail on the head about why they call it terrorism. A lot of innocent lives took away by cruel, ruthless murderers. A massive crime, worse than any other. If you don´t want to see it, don´t buy the game, but do neither feel sympathy for "freedom fighters", fight terror, not because of what you think of any political goal, but because it´s a crime.
I´ll better cut off, because i´m getting upset while i write.
