Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 catches heat for ‘de-escalation’ scene

New from Call of Duty, the franchise that gave you the F key to pay respects, now comes a novel way to “de-escalate” tensions with civilians: aim your weapon at them.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches Thursday, but its campaign is playable right now for anyone who pre-ordered it; and it’s getting dragged pretty bad on social media for this http://www.kward Event in a quick timer at an early stage. Task Force 141 raids a trailer park. NPC Cletus arrives to inform the soldiers that the Posse Comitatus Act of1878 is being respected within this household. Next, Cletus instructs the player to shoot at the civilian. He then gets back inside. You can see the results yourself.

Another look at the same thing:

Searching online, we found actual documents or tactics used by police and any paramilitary armed force to manage volatile civilian situations. It didn’t take very long to find several such documents, and none told police professionals to do what Sgt. In those videos, Maj. Rodolfo Perarra is seen doing.

Journal of Police Crisis Negotiations (October 2010) Two Georgia Bureau of Investigation officers stated that they are able to use active listening to avoid escalating violence or disruptive behaviour. But we’re betting that “press F to use ‘minimal encouragers,’” to let the guy know you’re listening, wasn’t such a dynamic gameplay moment.

At any rate, nowhere in this document does it say that raising one’s loaded weapon and aiming it at someone is a great way to chill them the fuck out. “The officer de-escalating the crisis should also avoid speaking too loudly, which may cause further anxiety and agitation,” the GBI trainers wrote. The minimum requirement is that you are at least Modern Warfare II Got ThisPart right. Rodolfo lowers voice as he instructs the civvies to go back in.
