If you’ve been following gaming news at all this past week, there’s little doubt that you’ve heard about the latest fiasco surrounding the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 due to a video released by Infinity Ward that slipped in the phrase “fags.” If you are somehow unfamiliar with it (and, incidentally, how did you end up here of all places?) basically every major gaming site has covered it already. And if you’re a college student with a campus newspaper that covers gaming culture, like I am, chances are somebody covered it there too.
There isn’t much left to be said about the subject now, so this post is dedicated to letting you, the reader, actually see what all the hubbub is about. Infinity Ward has taken down the video from their own YouTube account and has been forcing other users to do the same with copies. Below is one of the few still active as of the writing of this post, though IGN has so far retained the advertisement in a different format.
