Bloody Video Games? (Modern Warfare 2)

      Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, one of the most anticipated games of 2009, but also probably one of the most voilent. It was made by Infinity Ward and was rated M. The game was rated M for mainly just one reason, the violence and gore. Sure it was also rated for language, but the violence surely surpasses anything else on the rating scale. There is a huge controversy on this and even second guessed letting the game out in some countries. It is even so violent that it was talked about on the radio! The game exceeds violent expectations, and is so violent that it is controversed on the radio.If violence in a video game is important enough to bring up on the radio, then that game should be reconsidered.
     In aggreement with this Article on The violence, one mission in the game, you are an undercover American secret agent fighting a Russian leader named Makarov. You go under as a Russian agent who works with Makarov.  At the beginning of the mission you start out with Makarov in an elevator and your holding a machine gun. As the door opens in the elevator, there are hundreds of civilians in front of you and police officers. You notice your in an airport and as you come out, no one notices you. Then the machine gun lifts up and your partners start shooting everyone in front of you, and you start to also.
    The fact that in a video game, you are being a terrorist and shooting innocent, unarmed people is horrifying. It so violent, that when the game starts, you must "agree" to play the mission. If a game needs a warning on something in it that needs a consent to play the level, then why should that game even come out, or not changed. That sort of violence is terrible for kids, and even though it is rated M, people below 17 still have it. That is even worse because if your only 12 years old, you shouldn't be seeing mass killings in an airport like that no matter what age you are, with you being one of the terrorists. If you want to see the mission, there is a link on the bottom to see it. Caution! It is violent! Watch at your own risk. From the game being talked about on the radio because of its violence, and how in one of the missions your shooting innocent unarmed people in a terrorist attack, makes this game a game that shouldn't be "reconsidered."
