New game lets players massacre civilians

By John Byrne

A new video game allows players to pose as Russian ultranationalist terrorists and massacre civilians with assault weapons in an airport.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set for release Nov. 10, in time for the American holiday shopping season. Its predecessor sold 14 million copies and earned myriad "game of the year" awards.

But the latest incarnation is drawing fire. The game allows players to pose as terrorists -- and play in first-person view -- engaging in violence against non-combat actors.

GameSpot said the scene where players shoot bystanders is "reminiscent of last year's mass killings in Mumbai."

Australia rated the game MA15+, or suitable for children 15 years of age or older. "Australia is one of the only Western democracies without an adult (R18+) rating for video games," the Sydney Morning Herald notes.

A local critic who runs the Australian Council on Children and the Media said that she didn't feel the 18+ rating was enough. It means that children as young as 15 will be able to slaughter civilians in realistic fashion.

"The consequences of terrorism are just abhorrent in our community and yet here we are with a product that's meant to be passed off as a leisure time activity, actually promoting what most world leaders speak out publicly against," Jane Roberts said.

"If that material was on the internet about how to become a terrorist, how to join a group and how to wipe out people - that would be removed because it would not be acceptable," she added.

The Herald adds that "Activision, the game's publisher, and its lawyers, have been working frantically to remove all traces of the footage from the web, arguing that it was released illegally before the game had come out. But the company has confirmed the footage is authentic and that the mission is part of the game."

In the scene, Australian reviewers wrote, "Several civilians are shot with blood burst bullet wounds; civilian corpses are strewn across the airport floor, often in stylised pools of blood; injured civilians crawl away with lengthy blood trails behind them."

Looks similar to DOOM
With the DOOM Hackers Guide and CD you could turn the Shotgun into unlimited ammo fully automatic.
Like mowing the grass...
Killing gets boring.
Hug your children if you have them.

I found the lady bartender in MaxPayne to be rather erotic. Purple top Black skirt... Had a hard time emotionally in killing her but she kept shooting at me so I threw a Molotov Cocktail at her. The screams were unforgettable. I had to do the coup de grace with the desert eagle and baseball bat to get her to stop looking at me no surprise the Rats wouldn't eat her....I am damaged goods, but the success of the mission is assured. The city is safe.

Please note: InformationLiberation is neither liberal or conservative. When one takes the time to research the "liberal elite," whom the conservatives oppose, and the "conservative elite," whom the liberals oppose, one finds both "elite" are one and the same. "Liberal" or "Conservative" is not a substantive choice, it is only the carefully crafted illusion of a choice, for both parties come together when they are instructed to.

"Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure."
Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, 1936 issue of The New York Times.

If you care to know who runs the world you live in, view these films. If you care not then I leave you with this quote to ponder:

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."
