Best comment I heard relating to the controversy:

At first I was like “How can any government agency justify having their operatives actively participate in full-scale terrorist attacks?” then I remembered oh yeah, CIA.

I’m guessing Modern Warfare 3 is gonna open up with you reenacting the last 30 minutes of Antichrist from the perspective of Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Besides, it’s a great counter-point to the first game’s intro.

So basically, you’re saying it’s Half-Life 2?

Good, bring them on! The only reservation I have is that they might not be done with due respect to the subject matter. If it can be done in a realistic way that properly displays all sides of the issue (rather than just Civilian Headshot! +5 Exp!) it will help people to understand what irregular conflicts mean, what the mindset of religious extremists is, and further it will challenge our morality.

I think this particular scene is a tremendous idea because it allows one to choose how they will morally deal with the issue using normal FPS mechanics. If you believe that the interests of the majority will be served by going along with the terrorists to gain their respect, one might choose to fire AT, but consistently miss the civilians. But it remains to be seen what Activision will actually do with this scenario.

Also, in GTA, killing innocents isn’t part of the narrative.

Except in WWI the western powers +Russia were the bad guys and the Central powers were fighting for truth and freedom against a gang of terrorists.

“I doubt I’d have enjoyed schindler’s list if it had required me, every few minutes to press a button in order to execute a jew. ”

Actually, I’d like to see a Schindler’s List game like that. You have to pick the ones to save, and the ones to kill, and you have to kill them *by your own hand.* Not a cutscene, mind you. No, you’re in control the entire time.
MGS3 showed that forcing the player to kill someone they care about can be absolutely heartbreaking.
If you’ve played it, you know the bit. Press square to kill Boss.
