Weekly Article 02

The discussion of war games like Modern Warfare games are creating violence is to me completely false. In games like Modern Warfare it shows scenes and actions that a normal human wouldn't be able to achieve. You can't get shot 5 times, wait, and get your health back no. If you get shot in real life you're going to be down for the count. Saying games like modern warfare are causing people to become more violent is like saying Dora from dora the explorer actually knows her way without a map.

 There are much much more violent games out now such a Grand Teft Auto, A 3rd person shooter game where you join a gang and you shoot and kill people for the deed and money. But how many people actually do these things. Not many, if so the television news broadcast would be going haywire and nuts with news of someone in a helicopter shooting down people in the streets or some maniac going 130-mph down a manhattan street. No you never hear any of that, nor do you hear about a building blowing up by rocket launchers shot at it. In my opinion there are no such thing as imitating the actions that happen during these games.

If you look at the game from a army mans perspective it could help them simulate the actions the do on the battle field and it can help them in a long cause to better themselves in military tactics. They're the best way to simulate combat and people have to realize this.
