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.

just bought it on steam. 60 bucks for a PC game. jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. i like to be kissed when i'm getting effed GAMING INDUSTRY :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Buy it from Amazon you get a $10 credit, digital purchase.

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.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
