Siksi Call of Duty: Modern Warfaren ikäraja on niin korkea

Infinity Ward on tehnyt selväksi, että se haluaa tehdä jotain uutta ja outoa uuden Call of Duty: Modern Warfaren tarinassa muun muassa siten, että ero siviilien ja sotilaiden välillä ei ole aina selvä.

Nyt sitten Pohjois-Amerikan ikäraja-auktoriteetti ESRB on kertonut syyn sille, miksi ikärajaksi on annettu 18+. Syynä ovat odotetusti väkivalta, kidutus, paljas pinta ja härski kielenkäyttö.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare julkaistaan PC:lle, PS4:lle ja Xbox Onelle 25. lokakuuta 2019. Lue ESRB:n kuvaus kuvan alta englanniksi.

"This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the roles of special forces soldiers and freedom fighters as they battle terrorists. Players can engage in a variety of combat missions, such as saving hostages, escaping/infiltrating war zones, and assaulting enemy compounds. Characters use machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and explosives to kill enemies in frenetic combat. In some situations, players must quickly determine which characters are terrorists and which are just innocent bystanders. Combat is highlighted by realistic gunfire, screams of pain, and large blood-splatter effects. A sniper rifle causes increased damage (e.g., decapitation, dismemberment). Some sequences prompt players to make choices that influence enemy behavior: using a pistol to threaten a suspect's family during an interrogation; timing actions to prevent terrorists from shooting hostages (failure scenarios may occur). One sequence depicts players' character interrogated/tortured via waterboarding; if players select certain dialogue options, then a bound prisoner is seen executed. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: a hostage killed by an explosive vest; civilians (including children) killed by a gas attack. Some scenes depict terrorists threatening and, in rare instances, attacking or shooting young characters (e.g., a boy held hostage; young siblings attacked in their home—players can control their ability to fight back). The game includes multiplayer badges that depict illustrations of marijuana leaves and smoking; other illustrations depict close-up angles of partially exposed cleavage and buttocks. The words "f**k" and "sh*t" appear in the dialogue."
