    I just saw it. While I don't have a problem with the controversial story gameplay elements of the game. I do have a HUGE problem with the fact that us PC gamers are getting a !@#$ console port.

    Anyways, this story is too little too late to have any kind of effect.

    No problem with the controversial story here. Very pissed off about the no dedicated servers. A bit surprised IW would use that acronym.

    Wow they just cannot leave this game alone eh, hope it breaks sales records and shuts everyone up. Its a mature game so some brutal content should be expected. Also just a coincidentally rude acronym. Im quite positive IW is not condoning bashing or ripping on gays.

    Um, no, FAGS is officially a group who drives and is annoying with a Harley Bike or even perhaps one who just owns Harley Bikes.

    A gay person is not neccessarily a member of the fags and vice versa.

    Those experimenting with or pondering the thought of owning a Harley Bike can be considered Bike-curious.

    Good day Gentlemen, that is all. :cool:

    For the killing innocent civilians in the airport part-Games have let you do stuff like that for years now. Look at postal2 and GTA...

    Truth.

    This isn't that serious of an issue. You have the ability to shoot citizens in GTA with more than a gun and that franchise has been doing pretty well.

    There are too many "journalists" and not enough news stories. So they just have to elevate some of the stories to "news" to give these writers enough work.

    This has always been a witch hunt. Hollywood gets away with so much worse every year in their movies. The saying 'any publicity is good publicity' holds true for video games. Rockstar's GTA series thrives off its negative press. This is only going to push the sales that much higher.
