Common, really? This is isnt a terrorist trainging program or anything. And I don't recall any Russians going into an airport and massacring people like someone said "it's too early for this!". I'm assuming that's in regards to 9/11 or something though? There's always terrorism and shootings going on and always will be. You'll also see it on the news, which will glorify it. And what about the rest of the game? It's a War simulator, and no one finds that "tasteless" but a level where you shoot at a bunch of unarmed virtual characters, or an even better yet; polygons, is bad? Theres a bunch of people dying over in Iraq/Afghanistan and we sit here playing these games shooting people thinking it's fun. If anything I find that more disturbing, although I do think it is fun :) And they even give you a chance to skip so you don't have to play it. I'll admit I was like WTF when I started playing that level but only because it was just unexpected, but it's part of the story. It shows that these guys are a bunch of terrorists and just want to wipe out the US. I also think that in regards to the story that the russians were making a point and trying to instill fear amongst the citizens of the US. If you read it in a book would it make it less tasteless cause you're watching it? And what about movies like SAW that are based on people's lives ending? House of 1000 corpses? Texas chainsaw massacre (which was based on a true story)? It didn't make me feel bad or any of that stuff, you know why? Cause it's a game. I also don't really think it helped sell any extra copies of the game, because it would have made record sales regardless. People didn't go out and buy this $60 game to play 1 level in the single player campaign just to see what the hype was about. OH and I 100% agree with chriskwarren, parents are buying this game for their kids and they're like here watch this violence of blasting people in the face with guns? I play games online and always here these10 year old kids on there and can't believe that parents let their kids play these games. It's obvious that they're parents buy it for them cause how else could they get their hands on A) $60 and B)an M rated game? Games are rated M for a reason. Especially if you hear some of the language some people use online. That is poor parenting if you let your kids play those games. Obviously parents don't even look at what they're buying for their kids. Not trying to be a dick in this post or anything here it's just that way I see it.

Video games = movies. Same thing. Form of entairtainment that you stare at on your TV. Oh and I guess none of you have ever played Manhunt.
