WOW... screwed up video game for DH

I just bought DH Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for Christmas.  Of course, as usual, we couldn't wait to open presents, so we did it tonight.  He's playing it now and I am REALLY DISTURBED.  The board he's on now, he's some terrorist, running through a mall shooting random people while everybody runs around and screams.  Granted, he's 31, so it's not like he's going to run out and do this, but KIDS play this game!  ACK!

Wow, I sound old and crotchety.  Oh well.  I'm disturbed!

One of these days I'll have a good marathon!

Re: WOW... screwed up video game for DH

  • This is why parents need to not just buy their kids whatever they whine for without first checking it out.  I personally love playing Grand Theft Auto after a rough day at work, and I can literally blow up cars and shoot people with a rocket launcher to vent some stress.  It's the morons who buy these ADULT games for eight year-olds that disturb me!

  • eww. I told my mom to get that for my DH for christmas.. It sounds awful.. The other game I HATE HATE HATE is Grand Theft Auto 4 or whichever one it is that my DH plays its SO obnoxious.

  • Yeah, my DH plays Modern Warfare too.  Actually, he's playing it right now.  I know what part you're talking about, when his character is undercover and they seize the airport.  It is disturbing.  My DH doesn't really play the actual game - he plays the multiplayer online option with his friends.  Scary thing is that it's just as gory and there are little kids with their mics swearing and yelling "I got that f_cker" when they kill someone.
  • Yeah, I put on my headphones and am listening to Christmas music to drown it out.  I'm glad I'm not the only one who is a little put off by it!

    I'm not worried about DH.  He's an adult and all (he was even agreeing with me that it was pretty screwed up while he was in the middle of the board), but I'm just amazed that people would let their kids play this game.

  • I used to find it incredibly sad when my 1st graders would share with the class about the new video games they got....and they talked about Grand Theft Auto and other violent games.  They were 6!!!!
