this type of gameplay is the reason i have not pre-purchased the current installment to splinter cell. it seems everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of playing as the bad guys in video games.
Yeah. I mean it's not like any movie has ever depicted the bad guy in a good light... oh wait.
Honestly, I'm glad that developers are looking to push the boat out a bit when it comes to politics and moral values. At the end of the day a game that features you killing a few civilians is NOTHING in comparison to the tens of thousands of lives extinguished as a result of US foreign policy. The media only stirs shit like this up in order to generate revenue for themselves and to serve the political whims of their owners, rather than for the betterment of society. I hope this generates a huge amount of publicity and results in better sales for IW, just to teach the media a lesson.
