The site mentions that this is the first time "such striking imagery has surfaced since 9/11," but as we all know, that's simply untrue. Fallout 3 is the obvious example that comes to mind, but another, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, depicted the exact same scenario in its campaign. Namely, American troops storming the occupied White House. The posting also cites Grand Theft Auto IV as a back-handed example of games that go too far.
Tyler says: To be fair, the article in question doesn't accuse MW2 of going too far, it simply asks if it did go too far. Going back to Turning Point, that game even put Nazis in the White House! But for me, the question is not whether Infinity Ward went too far, it's whether or not attacking D.C. monuments is played out. When I had to infiltrate a Nazi-infested White House in Turning Point, I was constantly rolling my eyes, not because I thought the setting was offensive, but because I thought it was too cliche. Yes, I rolled my eyes too at the newest MW2 trailer, out of disappointment. What do you folks think, is the setting trite, tired, or neither?
