Nukes havent been used since WWII, so I think that's the reason here.
Let me add some details to that. My wife was in the room and our daughter would wake up from her nap and wander into the living room. Didn't mean to trigger you with my post especially since I'm not judging anyone and was talking about my personal situation. Have an awesome day :)
It can but the point is that just using shock value and violence doesn't mean it is "realistic".
Actually it was. The last one that had such a message was precisely Modern Warfare
Not when you die slowly from the radiation caused in the aftermath.
I mean, that's what the author is saying is the problem. It DOESN'T show the horrific consequences. It's an actual modern issue that the game isn't handling with care and is understating the real-life atrocities it causes.
Well could you explain the context? The only drone strike I know about in CoD is that one mission in MW1
Cruise Missiles and hellfire drone stikes have been a consistent killstreak reward in almost every modern and futuristic CoD game.
I did, the fact that I completely disagree doesn't mean that I haven't read the article.
I think this is just how they justify going to other people's homelands and murdering them in their head. Somehow kids dying slowly is worse than shooting/blowing up/stabbing them. It's all awful.
Are these less humane than a chemical weapon which shuts down organs?
From what you wrote it doesn't seem you read the article, cause John talked about these points
A hydrogen bomb is a nuke. It's nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes. And yes there is fallout.
The fact that I came to a different conclusion than you doesn't make my comprehension awful. I know what he said. I maintain that there's no difference in whatever weapon is used in a war game. I don't care. I think all of them are horrible weapons of death that have no place in real world society, yet I think all of them are fine in a videogame about war. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's bad that this sort of nuanced take sticks out in a thread like this.
Criticism =/= calls to ban
What's the best way I can avoid being hacked? Please say it's incognito mode.
I just don't understand why humane methods of killing are required for video games. No one suffers I'm just confused by it all.
You could contribute to the thread yourself other than just saying people are dumb/can't take criticism.
yup, should have read up about it before posting. Thanks though
No one said this. Acknowledging that something is used as US military propaganda is not a call for banning it. Hell, most mainstream corporate media in general is US military propaganda.
