See, I did actually find the MW2 sequence a bit much, with the major difference being that you are the aggressor in that situation (I know they tried to cover it up with some BS about how you didn't have to shoot and could just be passive... but the clear intention is that you participate). I still wouldn't be screeching "Ban Dis Filf" but I can understand why there are some issues with it. It's also miles from GTA "cartoony" violence.

Again I can understand if some people think there's no place for it in creative media full stop (so no need for it in movies or on TV either). I don't particularly AGREE that creative media shouldn't feature uncomfortable adult themes, I'd strongly argue against the world going that way - but it is still a valid and logical standpoint. However, saying "in gaming" specifically whilst believing that it's fine in other forms of media such as in movies or on television, or even in written fiction, just demonstrates a misunderstanding of how gaming has evolved over the last 20 or so years.
