Modern Warfare 2 Airport ******** Live - Current Event


This is the Modern Warfare 2 video that Activision doesn't want you to see, in which you play a CIA operative undercover as a terrorist who mows down dozens of innocent civilians in an airport.

Activision has since had the video removed from YouTube, MetaCritic and every other video hosting website that has attempted to show you this content because they do not want the bad publicity that the More.. shocking and violent content within will undoubtedly bring, especially from mass media news outlets.

Amazon have done nothing wrong, you cannot 'review' a product until you've used it. It's pretty ridiculous to get mad about them maintaining the validity of their review section.

I kind of agree. Though I hope Amazon leaves one or two that give information that there aren't any dedicated servers so that people who haven't heard have some warning and can make up their minds from there (or add it into the description or something).

Amazon is happy to keep good reviews up. They shouldn't be allowed to keep good pre-reviews and delete the bad. If they don't want pre-reviews, they shouldn't allow reviews at all until the product is released. (like the American site)

I'm not really seeing the problem. I mean, GTA you kill random people with cars, Hitman you kill innocent people for a living... But maybe it's just because I'm a product of the internet and therefore desensitised... in fact, frankly now i'm intrigued

I'm not saying I have a problem with it, but I'm sure as desensitised as you are you can see that people outside of the target audience are going to take a very dim view on this.
