Pretty disrespectful and in pretty poor taste, in my opinion.

I don't have any problem with it. What's the issue? A war video game released around the same time as Veterans day? Is that all?

I personally love the commercial. I guess I don't really see the issue with the timing, if anything it should bring more attention to the troubles of veterans (the game highlights many of the mental instabilities of soldiers after action and for some gives an emotional connection between the gamer and the soldiers).

They "action movie" war and discount the chance of crippling injury in the commercial.

 

Hey! Everyone's shooting bad guys and doing it flamboyantly!

That's because it's a video game....should they market the game as you get shot in the game and you die in real life? I don't get it. Is there actually controversy over this, or is this just you? I haven't heard any outrage yet.

Eh, most people know it's just a video game, and really is like an interactive movie with all the theatrical cut scenes, etc. Hell, they even used the same camera software as Avatar for many scenes.

I thought that the commercial was in poor taste for when they released it.

Are you under the impression they released it on Veterans Day?

That's partly it. The main scene that got me was the guy at the end firing his weapons, then nonchalantly dropping them and doing the slow walk away while everything exploded.

 

It just felt disrespectful to real war veterans.

It released on Nov 9. Too close to the 11th for my taste.

 

They couldn't wait a week?

I'm pretty sure it released on Nov. 4th. There are articles and Youtube videos of it on the 4th.

he's talking about the date the video game was released which was Nov 9th.

I think you're looking to far into it, it's an entertainment source. If anything, that showed the entertainment value over a realistic viewpoint of it. It's about playing how you want to play in the game, not how you would fight in a real war.

Oh...ok..I guess.

 

Knight, did you have a problem when last years game was released too?

I have a problem with the commercial mostly.
