Children's Lobby Group Expresses Outrage at Modern Warfare 2 In Australia

A prominent children's lobby group, the Australian Council on Children and the Media called upon the Australian classification board to rescind its decision to rate Modern Warfare 2 at MA15+ after footage of a scene in which the player massacres dozens of civilians in an airport with assault weapons surfaced yesterday.

Honestly as games get more realistic, I dont want these situations in any game. esp. since the graphics of MW2 are extremely good and voice acting. I dunt know, if i walked in while someone was playing that scene, I may not be able to figure out that I was watching a video games vs news etc.

We've seen the effects of GTA on idiots.. Seriously dont need Mw2 increasing terrorism.

LtSkittles5290d ago

I d/k what to think either. I mean I'm glad that it's skippable, but I know Fox News is going to have a hissy-fit, and take it out of context, and blame video games all together, and other groups of people will flip out. I know for a fact Jack Thompson will want to get back as a lawyer, and try to ban it. People can't blame things on video games, film, or music, because they are means of entertainment, and aren't supposed to be taken literally.

WildArmed5290d ago

Only if everyone understood that. Then there wouldnt be soo many Grand Theft Auto copy-cats running around like idiots. W/e, Imma have a blast playing MW2 online newayz >:)

JonnyBadfinger5290d ago

LOL! Childrens Lobby Groups!

Ive never seen the ad on TV.....ever!

People gotta remember that its rated MA 15+ RESTRICTED, which means anyone under the age of 15 should NOT be playing the game. But i dont understand why these single middle aged men and women whinges seem to think they know what affects children and what doesnt.

If the parent aint worried why should they be?...

And while they are at it, why dont they start classifying the News on TV, you see more dead bodies on the News than you see in mass graves.

Feral Gamer5290d ago (Edited 5290d ago )

How can playing a violent game cause people to become terrorists? It's not as though little Jonny will drop out of middle school and attack someone.

The segment of the game is rather inappropriate, however. But it's no worse than Grand Theft Auto games.

*EDIT*
If someone is going to grow up to be violent, whether through nature vs. nurture, it's bound to happen whether or not they watch violent media. Even if you were to shelter this person from violent media, they'd probably still end up commiting a crime or acting violently.

WildArmed5290d ago

... I guess you havent paid enough attention to all the articles about an idiot doing an idiotic thing.
For us, its common knowledge.. and then there are special exceptions -.-
There will always be someone that will do something stupid that you won't believe. Thats just the way the world works.

WildArmed5290d ago

Right, having the nature vs nurture debate here would be pointless. Both play a role. even if it the media effect 1 out of million people, it has an effect ya know? Both nature and nurture have proven their point in scientific experiemnts.
But the thing he what crime he commits may be the factor that is changed by an external stimulus.
But I'm just making a point, that there are people who seems to thing OMG thats a great idea.. instead of stealing a car, lets go into a gang war! lol

Cosquae5290d ago

"Won't someone please think of the children!"

But seriously, this isn't a kid's game, there's a reason it's got such a high age classification. That said, still looks kind of fun.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

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.

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!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood256d 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

PunksOnN4G256d 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

ManMarmalade255d ago

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

fr0sty256d ago (Edited 256d ago )

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.

StarkR3ality256d 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.

TheColbertinator255d ago

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

PunksOnN4G255d 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

andy85256d ago

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

Jin_Sakai256d ago (Edited 256d 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.

PunksOnN4G256d 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

peppeaccardo256d 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 !

jznrpg256d ago

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

anast255d ago

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