Sessler's Soapbox: Adam Calls Infinity Ward Out
November 5, 2009 | 4:19 PM PST
Lately, Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 has made itself into a small hotbed of controversy the likes of which might make even Take Two a little jealous. First was one particular mission, which turned out to be optional, and then there was the infamous "Fight Against Grenade Spamming" video.
It is the latter point with which G4's Adam Sessler has taken issue with in his latest edition of Sessler's Soapbox:
While Sessler is hopeful that this might raise awareness or make people think, I'm not sure I have that same faith. I'm sure there will at least be one person who might reconsider what they're saying as a result of this, but... yeah.
I do wish Infinity Ward had put a little more thought into that punchline for their video and the repercussions it might have, rather than essentially stepping up as an enabler to all of the hate-term-dropping 13-year olds on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network.
Sure, they've pretty much said "whoops" and apologized, removing the video, but is it too late? Is the damage already done?
