Does “Call Of Duty” Ad Really Demean True Combat?

GxC: "An American veteran of combat in Afghanistan has taken his sensitivities to The Atlantic regarding how Activision/Square Enix have recently marketed Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Red Planet Noir Novelist and former Army Special Operations paratrooper D.B. Grady believes that a recent slam-bang ad campaign featuring Jonah Hill and Sam Worthington 'trivializes and satirizes war to an extreme, setting a new low.' "

The Entire franchise is Satire compared to Real War.. But its an game.. But the guy deserves his say..

Exactly. I personally have a lot of respect for our soldiers but even so, I don't need his opinion to see that the commercial is garbage.

Why is square enix mentioned ? So called journalism nowadays.

CoD4 without a doubt came as close to a real war that I've ever seen. Then they got too futuristic and out of hand with Russia invading. They forgot to mention the whole nuke thing.

Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

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.

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.

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.
