Hey everybody, thatīs my first blog entry, so please, donīt be to strikt:)
My theme is, as always, the new Modern Warfare 2. Iīm from germany, the "killergamez"-country, so iīm blogging about the situation, how I see at as from now. My opinion is, that Infinity Ward just wanted to make some PR via the "No Russian"-LeveL at the expense of the gaming community. I mean, watch some interviews Robert Bowling has done months before the release, he told that the game, everytime you shot at a civilian, stops and that you automatically failed. But at the bottom line you have to do exactly that at the above-named level. I mean, when the next time someone goes crazy and startīs a rampage, and itīs allmost sure there will be one, the government starts to check his computer and/or the console. And after the phenomenal release of the game nearly every teenager will have it, apart from if itīs legal bought or not. Everytime one goes crazy, the so called "experts" start to discuss about "killergamez" (bad word) and the argument will come, that shooter exist just to kill bots. We, the gamer, allways tell them that itīs not about killing another, itīs about teamplay, skill and tactics. But after the NR-Level in Modern Warfare 2, we canīt take this argument, because of you have to do exactly that at the mission. And the experts donīt care, if itīs one game out of thousends. As I already said, if there is a rampage again in germany, the media and the "experts" will say "Hey, look at the game, und look at what he has done, donīt you see a parallel?" And then we, the (german) gamer community, the industry, can make excuses. When I think about that mission, I just get angry at the idiots over at Infinity Ward, who have made this mission and even get paid for that. I donīt understand that.
Thanks Anthony
