<p> Ladies and gentlemen, I am concerned. It seems that a great many people are suffering, and that's hard to watch. This tends to happen when video games are involved, and while I'm not exactly sure what causes it, I like to do what I can to help. To that end, I have put together a simple troubleshooting guide that might soothe some of the unbearable pain you seem to be experiencing. Prepared below are some easy instructions on how to STFU about Modern Warfare 2. Step 1: Shut the fuck up. Above all, this is an effective method of problem solving that will, in most cases, alleviate any issues you may be experiencing. Think of it like a reset button. Should any of the measures you've attempted prove ineffective, rest assured that simply closing your mouth and worrying about something more important is usually enough to set things right. It can be difficult to believe, but there really are better things to get upset about. If that fails, try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined below. Problem: I can't support Modern Warfare 2 because of the leaked footage of the airport level so I can't throw my weight behind and purchase it. Solution: Then don't. Nobody is jacking you up with a gun to your head to purchase it. It's clearly within your rights to not support it as a consumer. You also have every right to your opinion as well but how about we wait for the actual finished game to roll out, shall we? If you're not privy to the whole game how on earth can you draw any kind of logical opinion from just one snippet? Sure you may not like that particular scene but keep in mind, it's being taken out of content. As in, again, it's not the whole game. It could be that after experiencing the full game you may see it in a new light. And if by chance you do purchase it and still may have any trepidation of the forthcoming scene you can , get this, skip it. Yes Infinity Ward has given everybody the option of doing just that. That's kind of generous of them to think of the faint of heart like that. Actually I personally find it odd that in a game where you mow down people with every conceivable modern weapon dead that you'll grow a conscious all of a sudden because these particular people being shot are not armed "bad guys". I mean it's okay to snipe ( bad ) people's brains off as they do their patrols, or knifing them in the back to meet your objective as these things are not technically morally wrong, right? Again, if the above rationale is not enough for you, the short answer is, don't buy it. No, really. Nobody is forcing you to buy it. Still having trouble? Refer to Step 1. Problem: Activision is evil. I wont buy it because of that. I will not fund their campaign of satanic business practices in which they try to, get this...make money. Solution: This is going to sound like a broken record but don't. Don't buy it. Boycott the shit out of them. Create a worthless online petition where like minded delusional souls think they can effect the outcome of Modern Warfare 2's sales. Since you wont be getting the game chances are you'll have plenty of time on your hands while the rest of us will be rocking the game. Who knows you may change a few people's minds into your way of thinking. You know, the ones that weren't going to get it anyway. Actually the Activision is evil tag is bizarre to me. Since when did EA lose that? Since when are all game companies not wanting to make money? You think Activision is the only one? Think the rest just make games just for you 'cause they're sweet on you? Because they want to give back to us gamers? Let me stop before I lose track. That's just me thinking out loud. The truth of the matter is, nobody is holding a gun to your head and making you buy MW2. Some of us are really pumped about it, and if you're not one of those people, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you don't like the fact that it exists, you can easily voice that opinion by not spending your money on it. That's how it works. But please, find something better to get angry at. There have been far worse crimes committed against gamers, and chances are, you spent your money on them.
