Modern Warfare is widely lauded as one of the best multiplayer experiences there is, yet you play as Allied and Terrorist forces throughout.

If you find the terrorist scene in poor taste, maybe you should’ve been up in arms when you, as a terrorist, shot, killed, maimed, blew up, and did multiple other less-than-moral things to what were “our” allied troops in the first Modern Warfare.

This scene is only there to give you perspective as to why they are to be stopped. It’s to motivate you to dislike/hate them enough to WANT to finish the game. It’s no different than any movie that has a villain. Taken, for instance, *spoilers* takes you inside makeshift brothels to make you hate the people that start them – that way when they die you feel a bit of redemption.

The only difference between this and just about every revenge movie ever made is that you have to do the navigating. Putting you in the place of the terrorist offers perspective that you can’t get otherwise. It’s meant to resonate within you and CHARGE you to take the fight to them before they have the chance to bring it to you.

Bottom line, it’s meant to ring emotion from you. Showing you the faces of the innocent first hand. It’s one of the few times I’ve seen developers try to pull emotion – and it get this much recognition.

If you couldn’t tell by now, I not only want them to keep the scene, but I can’t wait to play it for myself to see – and feel – Infinity Ward’s intentions for myself.

There is a reason the game is rated M, it’s because only adults are suppose to play it. And if you want the game but don’t want to mow down innocent people, SKIP THE SCENE!

The last thing I want though is a watered down vision to their game and their story because of some overly sensitive types.

Activision/Infinity Ward put this scene into the game for a reason, they wanted us to experience just how ruthless the terrorist are and why we must stop them at any means.

I personally want to thank them for not lowering their game to the lowest common denominator and keeping their vision of what they want the story to be about and how they want to put it out there.
