Infinity Ward Puts To Bed The 9/11 Comparison Worries About Modern Warfare 3 (Playstationfans)

If you haven’t noticed in all the released content from the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 events over the past few months, New York City get invaded by the Russians just like Washington D.C. in MW2.

Its dumb for people to be comparing this videogame scene to 911....as crazy as this world is today this is the thing ppl care about ???

evrfighter4664d ago

that's funny I havn't seen any news of people caring about mw3 content.

CoD is played out and people don't care about what kind of shock tactics they try and pull anymore

3GenGames4663d ago

This. Plus, there's always that one thing that most people don't give two craps about, but then the 1% that thinks violence in videogames is the end of the world sue it up and everyone then makes a big deal about it.

That's a sign that the game its self is done for. And this one's even more done since the story for MW3 was already out. You don't even have to buy the game if you care for the story, and don't have to buy the game if you want the multiplayer because it's Modern Warfare 2 all over again just different killstreaks and textures with a never-ending story. Well, it would end if your wallets told it too so that Activision will stop the series and work twords something more creative and realistic and fun. One day it will happen and when you see what better comes from them and innovation you will join everyone else who ditched the COD hopewagon this year of what moving on does--makes a better game.

Just like its dumb for people to get offended by zombie kids in games...when its not even real. So many hypocrites when it comes to this stuff its not even funny. -_-

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

Cpt_kitten4664d ago (Edited 4664d ago )

the 9/11 ones but what about the 7/7 bombings??? stupid terrorists supporters never buy activision again

and still dose not give them an excuse for letting people just freely shoot innocent people in the airport

theEx1Le4663d ago

How on earth are they terrorist supporters?

Prototype4664d ago

I swear people these days will find ANYTHING to bitch about; last time I checked there's a very big, noticeable difference between games and real life situations. Yes 9-11 was a day I will not forget (I was 19 at the time) but damn no one is using it in a video game, or even trying to compare it.

I do commend Bowling saying its not anything related to real life, and I agree with him the media will do anything to get 15 min of fame that gets extended out to about 6-8 months of "remember when..."

It wouldn't surprise me if somewhere there's a big anti-gaming group and their sole purpose is to find any, small, non-caring situation in any game and blow it out of proportion.

Dwalls11714664d ago

Exactly....im gonna be honest im tired of hearing about 9/11 ...it was Along time ago and its over...and this is coming from a guy that lives in NY ..and has friends who lost loved ones....even they say it comes a time,when you have to move on.........

Hazmat134664d ago (Edited 4664d ago )

people still talk about 9/11? its been 10 years get over it. i mean really?

Grip4664d ago

I am a muslim and i do care about 9/11 3000 Innocent were killed in that day.. so iraq war over half million killed in that stupid war.. i do care to any Innocent death.

Hazmat134663d ago

over 1 million jews were killed. i hear jokes left and right about that time heals all wounds. i respect your religion and your views. blame the government. even in chaos there is order.

antz11044663d ago

@ Hazmat,
9/11 was the worst tragedy in American history, a lot of great people were lost and thanks to the wonders of modern communications millions of people watched it happen.

Seriously, did you ask why ppl don't get over it and then make a holocaust reference?

SHOW SOME RESPECT.

cjflora4664d ago

I haven't heard any controversy. This sounds like a ploy to start one for attention though.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons33d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac33d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2331d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher47d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris47d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera47d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii47d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts47d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX47d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos47d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast47d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
