trivialized

According to the developers, Call of Duty: United Offensive "builds on the cinematic feel" of Call of Duty, so you can expect more of the same exciting moments that made the original so memorable.

Call of Duty: United Offensive is a new video game released this year, whose advertisement campaign claims it to be "even more realistic than the last". Robb Alvey one of the games creators said in an interview about the new product: "We're adding a bunch of new single-player maps. Lots of new features, such as being able to cook off grenades, use the flamethrower, actually have a deployable machinegun. Sprint across battlefields, use smoke grenades in multiplayer. We've completely revamped the particle system. So when you're up in that B-17 Bomber, blasting planes out of the sky, you're gonna see some brand-new effects that you haven't seen before. . ."

It's rememberance day today. . . And I can't help but wonder what our veterans think of this "even more real" game. I wonder if they see it as a slap in the face. Or, perhaps as trivializing the time they spent fighting for our freedom.

But. . . "It's JUST a game."

Exactly MY point: "It's NOT just a game"


We Remember.
