Yeah, I don't see a problem with it personally. The scene is meant to evoke an emotional response, and for what it's worth, I think it succeeds.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox News gets a hold of this footage and starts ranting about how video games "promote violence against children".

2 years ago that video wouldn't really affect me at all, but since I now have a daughter who is almost 1 my mind starts imaging that scenario happening to her. As messed up as it is its better that the father apparently dies as well.

A bold move overall, as it adds to the realism of warfare for sure. We are so sheltered here in America from stuff like that, so people get up in arms about its depiction despite the fact it happens around the world all the time. Tugs the heartstrings for some of us, and will make me want to exact revenge on whomever planned the bombing.

Anyone that hops on the "video games promote violence" bandwagon is ignorant. Movies and some TV shows are far worse than what's depicted in games like Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3. At least video games have more of a stylized look that's obviously different than reality.

Nothing to be scared of.

Me and my friends have ordered 25 keys, of MW3

Its just like you are buying digitally from steam, only difference being that it isn't steam from which you are getting the key.

I, too, was afraid of this at first. But when I read about hundreds of positive comments and testimonies, I went ahead and bought it and I am happy.

You don't have to worry about anything since it'll be a legit key.

You guys need to be careful, sounds like these keys are being generated illegally. If they are not true Steam keys, Steam will figure it out eventually. Once they do they will ban your Steam account without question. My son in his infinite wisdom got a hold of a "generated" steam key for Team Fortress 2, about 6 months of playing Steam caught on and ban him completely and he lost everything. Not worth it.

I probably shouldn't have watched that video. Not really a "spoiler" per se, but still really messed up. Things like that I generally prefer to experience for myself, but I don't know what led up to it, or what happens after, so we'll see. Only have 4 days left.

Agreed. I pre-orded Battlefield 3 a few months ago, then was wise enough to cancel it about a month and a half before release, as I found out the place where I ordered it from (CDKeysHere) got the keys from Russia, and at the time, EA was wielding the banhammer on keys of their games redeemed outside of the USSR. Since then, I went back to waiting for it to come onto Steam, which it will eventually. :p

They are not illegal.

They are brought from the developing company, in this case, it'll be Infinity Ward.

I know a lot of people who buy like this and they have never reported a problem.

If they were illegal, Steam or Origin will not redeem it in the first place

Understand that the algorithm has been cracked for these systems, the keys will be seen as legit. If you are getting these keys for cheap, or before the game is released ect.... then you are taking a chance. How do you know they are from IW? I didnt know you could by direct from them. My son bought a "legit" key but it wasent and it took about 6 months to catch up to him.

What I'm taking away from after watching that video is that they used a lot of the exact same assests from MW2 in this game. That's pretty bad. I would expect that in an expansion or dlc, not a full fledged entire new game for $60.

my thoughts exactly do but works for me cause I loved that game. I know i'll get a crap ton of hours outta the game so it's worth it for me. There is a lot of tweaks and adjustments that that video doesn't know though to be honest. but i don't entirely disagree with you. can't judge it until i play it of course...

Someone on my friends list has already been playing it since at least yesterday (when I saw him playing it lol). So some people definitely already have copies, and since he has only been playing multiplayer, I'm willing to guess it's quite a few people that already have it.

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
