Bereaved families have urged the publisher of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 to remove a clip from the game that shows a figure performing CPR and bodies lying in the street
Yea I can’t imagine that this isn’t intentional. I’ve not played it so I have no idea if it is relevant but I can imagine it could be impactful if used well. Still, this seems insensitive given it wasn’t that long ago.
Edit: Read through the article and seemed like it wasn’t necessary at all. The cynical part of me feels like this might’ve been an intentional marketing move to garner attention through controversy.
Almost certainly, in regards to the marketing move. One of the oldest tricks after all. Like MGSV showing off the child soldiers plotline in trailers right around the time of the whole Kony mess.

This is the same franchise that did “no Russian,” so they’re no strangers to getting attention from controversy.
Most of that team is now in Respawn if they haven’t left Respawn already yet though.
Given it’s just part of a fmv it’s the sort of thing the same marketing department that handled MW2 could request to be added…
