Yes, yes. You are all proud brainwashed warmongering neo-cons. You have been lied to for so long that even after the fact that your government has been shown to nothing more than murdering thugs you still blindly wave your flag.
Patriotic zombies that have been brainwashed and lied to from birth. Wake up and stop being slaves. Stop drooling every time they ring the patriotic bell like Pavlovian dogs.

If you consider me ignorant and narrow minded because I find a video game based upon an illegal invasion and occupation (that caused the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children) offensive well sir I wear that tag proudly.
What kind of sick world have we turned into when the deaths of so many innocent people is turned into entertainment? I find it extremely offensive that people like you would care so little about your fellow man that you think it is okay to murder for profit and for control of the oil.
You need to turn off Fox News and wake the fuck up.

I find it extremely offensive that people like you would care so little about your fellow man that you think it is okay to murder for profit and for control of the oil.I agree that the war was completely unjustified but it's the idea that you'd taken offence to this particular game when the entire industry consists of games of this nature is what irks me. How are the hundreds of WWII and Vietnam games any more tasteful?
You need to turn off Fox News and wake the fuck up.Nothing I said in any way indicating any support of the war, not made any suggestion towards my political leanings. Perhaps it would be better not to jump to conclusions in future.
Remember how freaked out everyone was when they saw the gameplay footage? It was Gears of War in Iraq. It wasn't a brutal, honest, unflinching look at war.And Call Of Duty was any different?
The issue was that the approach was not what they said it was going to be. They said it was going to be a horror survival style game, and footage shown proved it to have regenerating health, and a gameplay style closer to a 3rd person action game.But that ignores their consultation with people involved in the actual conflict. And regenerating health is, unfortunately, an industry standard... slapping in health packs is just as retarded and in no way reflects on the tone of the game.

but at the same time Hollywood does this quite blatantly all the time (people certainly got rich off of Shindler's List, for instance), and people don't get so up in arms about it.

I hope it is released in a good state and garners strong sales, as publishers need to be shown that gaming is a serious industry and not just about aliens and zombies. I think it would be a shame for ignorant and narrowminded people like yourself to win out and prevent games from addressing politically sensitive issues.
