Personally im just surprised they'd risk a possible public backlash on that part. of course this games been out for awhile. So any stink that was to be raised probably already was. Or, some future news article will do some expose on violence in video games (again), and cite it as an example.

Video game? How is simulated public massacre able to be passed off as a video game? It looks like a common console game; xbox etc.

The call of duty series is the very definition of generic First Person shooter now.

We're not talking an obscure niche here, this is mainstream stuff your kids have probibly played.

If kids have played it, they shouldn't have. Games aren't just made for kids anymore, but adults too. COD:MW2 has an ESRB rating of M, for Mature.

So its basically synonymous with a rated R movie. So letting your kid play a rated M video game, is like letting them watch a rated R movie. The funny thing is, many parents are more informed about movies then they are games, so they don't censor their kids games like their kids movies.
