It’s Okay To Kill Cubans

Connor Beaton writes: "After all, it’s not like they’re Americans. Rewind a few years and you’ll remember the ceaseless controversy regarding a scene in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 where you have the option to shoot American civilians. Infinity Ward were forced to offer players the option to skip the scene, which was called “disturbing”. Let’s take an objective view at the opening of Call of Duty: Black Ops and compare."

Didn't the "disturbing" scene in MW2 feature not American Civilians but Russian ones?

Hence the title "No Russian" as in make the people watching think it's a terrorist act made by Americans against Russia.

Just saying.

prodigal_twit5660d ago

that's pretty much when the article lost it's merit with me...

robo36875660d ago

it lost it with me when i read "rewind a few years"....

it was last year...

Sarcasm5660d ago

Pretty much shows the intelligence of the Author.

MisterNiwa5660d ago (Edited 5660d ago )

In Black Ops you kill Nazis, Vietcongs, Russians, Cubans and Britishs. Every of them were enemies of the Americans, how cheap can a game get in this department?

Well Treyarch had their fair amount of Japanese to kill in World At War thats why they were cutted in this game, prolly.

R2D25661d ago

but if you made Call of Duty with the Japanese army or any other country as the team you fight with - how much Americans do you think would buy Call of Duty.

Quagmire5660d ago

I have yet to play a game where America is the enemy for once, and you kill them. Hopefully Homefront will satisfy in some way.

Red_Orange_Juice5660d ago

isnt Homefront about defending US from China or Korea

Ashriel5660d ago

uh, but you DO kill americans in MW2, in the last levels.

RedDead5660d ago

That's differant though, your not attacking the US.

KotC5660d ago

I think games have pretty much covered the killing of every race including aliens.

Sarcasm5660d ago

Yeah, one day the aliens will write an article and accuse Americans of being their alien equivalent of the devil.

RedDead5660d ago

I would personally love to invade/rape/pillage the Us in a video game. Although i'm Irish not American. The hidden propaganda in the US is rediculous.

TenSteps5660d ago

You spelled rediculous wro...

*reads username*

*sees red in the misspelled word*

The hidden propganda in that typo is ridiculous.

fryday5660d ago

I'm german ...

nuff said ^^

big_silky5661d ago

the difference is that after you shoot castro, the chick pulls a gun on you.

in "no russian" you were slaughtering unarmed, innocent civilians.

im-12-years-old5660d ago

*in "no russian" you were slaughtering unarmed, innocent pieces of data in a disc*

fix'ed

labwarrior5660d ago

The American goverment has been trying for years to kill Castro, with multiple real attempts

The killing in the game is the least of America's crimes

yewles15660d ago

*facepalm* Are you IN Cuba now?...

outwar60105660d ago

ohhh so america are there offering aid for the BS they've pulled up to this point everyone whos picked up a history book knows that americas attitude to developing countries is to treat it as their playground and to keep who they like in power and nuke everyone else(they trained cuban exiles and armed them in the bay of pigs and then pulled out at last moment so the exiles got slaughtered they didnt tell you that in the game did they)

antz11045660d ago

Agreed with Yewles,

you guys need to get off your soapboxes and go play your games, you've got alot of pent up anger.

The getaway

Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21458d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime458d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils457d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg458d ago (Edited 458d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg458d ago (Edited 458d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
