Doah, recall in Russia, I don't blame them though, kinda demonizes them. It's not the cold war anymore.

Yeah...I guess it is pretty offensive and or would be to some.

I played the campaign for a little bit. I got to that part. Basically you follow this Markov guy around an airport shooting and killing everyone you see. people screaming, some people shot and crawling and you basically mow the works of them down. Toss a grenade and bodies fly. Good physics lol

It can be disturbing. If it was another country that made the game and they had canadians doing the same thing, i am sure alot of us may be offended as well.


But - no such thing as bad publicity.

Turned off specular map as it was causing little hitches(playable but i want perfect smoothness)had to do this in cod waw too.guess the 8800gt is finally showing its age.

Watching my flatmate playing teh game, wow! This has got to be teh most over the top violent game since Rise of the Triad hah.

I can see how the airport level was quite controversial heh.

Yeah - I didnt do the spec ops yet, but try it online Steve-O , its awesome lol

maybe 10 years ago i could do FPS well, but my brain and reflexes are shot and basically all i can do is WoW .

lol the airport was suppose to be offensive? it's just a video game, well that is my opinion, but i guess some nutter would blame an rampage incident on a video game.

LOL Denty. People Can and always will find something to b*itch about.

Steve-O, one things for certain, the people that play that online have to be live at home teens cause the things they do to beat your ass can only come with hours and hours and hours and hours of constant online play - not to mention food being delivered to the pc area and them wearing a diaper.

From what I've heard they weren't mad at the violence, they were mad at how it depicts them, and honestly I agree. For years now the American media (movies, games) have been depicting the Russians in this kind of way and we've just celebrated the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. You would think that would be enough time to get over the propaganda produced by the Cold War but I guess not.

I don't believe in censorship but I'm sure if the next CoD game had a mission where you, as a Canadian, had to smuggle terrorists into America people here would be up in arms and a similar action would be taken. If that was the case here I would still want the game out, as to not censor it, but I wouldn't be buying it that's for sure.

Don't worry, if they make a game that takes place in Canada, they'll horribly screw up Halifax, no one will be able to find it.

The pic above is from "Traitor" and that is supposedly IN Halifax right there. Nice causeway eh? I personally found the whole Halifax part to be offensive, just cuz they got it ALL WRONG. I'd rather them not do it at all then do it shiite.

LOL again.

Well if any game portrayed say, Nova Scotians going into an airport and mass murdering everyone without mercy, there would be alot of angry people - front page news and local coverage with people being outraged.

I bet sales went up cause of it. $$$

Good thing there arent any dedicated servers....

Ah brings back memories of Quake Rocket Arena. I find that mode most pleasing except for uber C130(?) raining fire from above.

q3 1v1 railgun instagib... thats where it was at.

well the little bit of online I did, I didnt unlock the c130 yet, or get a kill streak that would allow that.

so far Predator missile was the best I did. sniff
