While totally shocking for that piece of footage to appear in a video game, it doesn't really offend me. I'm glad there are developers who don't feel the need to tip toe around sensitive topics. People talk about how video game stories need to grow up and I think this is a nessesary step in achieving that. And I'm sure within the context of the games story it won't seem that shocking. Who's to say this footage will even appear the way it is in the final game anyway. The release is still a ways off. Some shaky footage taken from a someones bedroom isn't exactly the most legit source of information.

And Activision can kiss it if they expect me to buy MW2. I'm not paying £55 for a 4-5 hour single player campaign. I don't care how good COD4's campaign was (and it most definitely was good) there are better things I can spend my money on. I didn't even dig the multiplayer in COD4.
