UK Government Arguement Over Violent Games Erupts

Video gamers are being asked to join a Facebook group set up to help defend games from critics. (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=189974734041)

Set up by Minister of Parliament Tom Watson, the group aims to coordinate responses to articles in the media which, gamers claim, do not give a fair view of their hobby.

Mr Watson set up the group in reaction to comments from fellow Labour MP Keith Vaz who strongly criticised Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Wghile a FB group to help talk down the silly misconceptions about gaming is clearly a decent idea(and one I'm glad was started by a politician in a way)IDK if anyone really listend to Keith Vaz and his scares about whatever game made him pee himself this week. He ALWAYS gets half a story(usually from the Daily Mail reporter who rang him knowin he'd freely give a soundbite opinion of disapproval from a position of complete ignorance)and runs way too far with it ignoring facts and certifation along the way.

Besides, MW2 is going, for good or for bad(as far as the future of gamers is concerned), to smash all manner of records sales wise and a little whining from an MP who gets shocked seemingly any time an adult wants to play a game other than Wii Fit or Imagine Babyz 12 won't hurt that any.

If only politician concerned themselves more over the killings they are responsible for in the middle east than on some games then the world might would be a better place.

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!!!!!

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

PunksOnN4G409d 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

ManMarmalade409d 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.

StarkR3ality409d 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.

TheColbertinator408d ago

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

PunksOnN4G409d 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

andy85409d ago

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

Jin_Sakai409d ago (Edited 409d 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.

PunksOnN4G409d 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

peppeaccardo409d 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 !

jznrpg409d ago

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

anast409d ago

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