Goverment Netherlands want to ban Modern Warfare 2

PSFocus writes: "It was expected, the moral crusaders of the goverment in the Netherlands want to interfere with Modern Warfare 2. They run a little behind, but today MP Joop Atsma of the CDA found out that Modern Warfare 2 contains a scene in which you can shoot citizens while playing as terrorists. Joop Atsma finds this a horrible scene."

Someone from the comments section on the site said this, "A film does not get evaluated for 1 scene. In addition there 18 + on the cover of the game."

I like his point. Why should games be under so much controversy when films do the same thing or even sometimes worse? There is a rating system. This alone should be enough to tell people that it has content that isn't appropriate for everyone. There really is no need to ban such a thing. Furthermore, the scene in MW2 can be skipped if one wishes to not view it.

I agree, if their is a terroist attack in the future, watch some media outlets blame this game. It's a scapegoat, that's what the media thinks video games are. It's frustrating and annoying. On Fox last season, the show 24 kidnapped the president and exposed nukes the American soil. No controversy. It's because video games are the scapegoat for anything that goes wrong.

evrfighter5284d ago

it can be argued that it's different because on end you're watching it happen. On the other end you're the one actually "pulling the trigger" so to speak.

A hardcore gamer will defend a good game til the end, and thats fine. But with 9/11 and all our soldiers dieing everyday in this war on terror you'd think ppl would be a little sensitive or at least considerate about this. I said this once before and I'll say it again. I will never...EVER play a game where I go around shooting unarmed defenseless people for no reason. That's a cowards game. And I realize that it's just one part in the game but it's a part that shouldn't be added at all. I don't even see how someone could consider that fun. I was probably not gonna get MW2 in the first place, but now I'm pretty sure.

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G262d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood262d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G262d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade261d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality261d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator261d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G261d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85262d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai262d ago (Edited 262d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G262d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo262d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg262d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast261d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
