PLN 10

What matters today is a YouTube video about the "new" Call of Duty game, "Modern Warfare 3." The video is a fake news cast that makes fun of how unrealistic current games are. Supposedly, in this new game, players take part in tasks that real soldiers would be performing. Such as guarding a warehouse all night, or settling arguments between fellow soldiers. At the end of the clip, the game is advertised to be sold with a 17 and 1/2 pound wii control (replica of an actual assault rifle) that the player has to "carry around all day and is not allowed to fire unless given explicit orders to do so. This clip is important because it shows that war isn't fun like in video games, and that there really isn't that much action. I think it is important that kids realize that the video games they play and the movies they watch are not real life. Now obviously this is a fictional game, but the video could open the eyes of many young gamers
