I haven't even watched the video yet but just the title and thumbnail make me lol.

Wait, it's controversial? Then why haven't I heard about this controversy? Also, why is "play" in quotes? Is it all just Quick Time Events of footage from Afghanistan?

All our kids our going to grow up to be  terrorists, and it's the vidya games fault!
 
 
Also, are they allowed to have the IGN logo in the corner of the screen?
 
Second also, that "gold star mom" is an idiot.
Last also, It's nice to see that the reporter is actually trying to not choose a side, and just report the story.

Excellence in journalism, thy name is fox. 
 
Also, Karen Meredith is my new hero. "World War II...[is] not based on real people."

I'm boycotting this.... who's with me!.... Alright  LETS DO IT..... !!!
Side-note.... the fact that these videos exist show that you people are still watching Fox News.... why?

First the Sexbox, now this. Damn...what have video games become? This is an outrage. 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh wait....Fox, you almost got me.

I wonder if a man has ever made love to her.

well we all saw it coming, it's just we expected it to happen a few months ago.

 

What the fuck is a 'gold-star mom'?

Another fat bitch talking yang about a violent game? Yawn.

Lmao 

This woman is babbling and quite incoherent. I understand she lost her son and I'm sorry for that. But this is a game, its simulation. The characters in the game aren't based on actual people.

I was worried for a minute, I though i was going to go a whole 24 hours without Fox getting butthurt about something.   
 
The Combo remains unbroken!!

This just in no one in WW2 was actually a real person! 
 
EDIT: IT ISN"T REAL CUZ ITS A GAME

" What the fuck is a 'gold-star mom'? "

" I wonder if a man has ever made love to her. "

Someone should destroy that place.

" This just in no one in WW2 was actually a real person! "

what is this "Shock and Awe" game from Sony that she's talking about in 2004?... is that the "Heartland" David Jaffe game?

Ugh, video games are disgusting!

Thats fox news for you.

"war is not a game, period" 
 
No, but War makes a good scenario for games. 
 
No one is 'playing' real war. 
 
I never understood why 'patriots' like this would talk about how things like this, ie the game, shouldn't exist 'out of respect' for soldiers. What the fuck you retards. Aren't your soldiers fighting for your freedom? YOU KNOW, LIKE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION? I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU. 
 
Edit: Why the fuck did I just spend 20 seconds of my life giving my rational response to a fox news story?

" First the Sexbox, now this. Damn...what have video games become? This is an outrage. "

I'm really surprised that the reporter was actually, you know, reporting and not dicking around like Fox News usually seems to do concerning video game related stories. Played some devil's advocate without coming off too rude to the woman.
 
There's really no gamebreaking point that I can think of that would tear the other sides argument apart. I mean, the woman lost her son in the war so it's not like you can just shut down how she feels it's disrespectful, and EA's got the good point that somebody's got to be the bad guy. Otherwise it'd be Americans shooting at Americans, and that just don't make no sense at all.

You know, the fox news reporter was much less horribly idiotic than I expected he would be.  He almost sounded like he was truly unbiased, and he was playing the Devil's Advocate.  Most of the time they act completely one sided.  (The lady on the other hand, while I understand how incredibly hurtful the loss of a family member to war is, was not informed at all and did not produce any compelling arguments)  Anyways, the single-player portion of this game is making me extremely anxious for the release.

"and a month or so after it's out no one is ever gunna hear about it again.  "

Oh boy!  Fox News and vidya games!  This should end well!

I was raised in a "Republican" home (if thats what you want to call it, now i am independent though cause fuck dems and reps) but guess what, FUCK FOX. They are one of the reasons why our god damn country is practical retarded. They keep making everyone stupider and stupider. Ugh, any time I hear anyone on Fox say anything it makes me want to kill myself, resurrect myself, and then kill myself again. I do like, however, how the guy "interviewing" this lady is basically shutting down every one of her points without even trying.
 
Oh, and she honestly said "A WWII game isnt based on real people" hahahaha.

Fox did a good job of reporting the story.

because when you play as spetsnaz and kill american's but as soon as real name's get thrown into the mix thats a proplem 
are these people fucking retarded 

" What the fuck is a 'gold-star mom'? "

Video games have let you play as terrorists against the U.S. are ages and through 9/11 up until now.  Hell, people have been also playing as NAZIS for ages.  It's just no one decided to just come out and say that they are the Taliban until now.

A "gold star mom" is a mother who's lost a child in the war. They could have explained that.

Her points are stupid, just because her son died in a recent war, there can be no games about recent wars? That's kind of unfair, what about movies about recent wars? They have no right to impose such a limitation on others and about playing as the taliban, I guess that's controversial.

Fox news seems to be modeled after the Westboro Baptist Church even though they're at odds with each other.
