Default Army Veteran Says CoD Marketing Is "Tasteless"

I can totally understand that some people believe video games "trivialize and sanitize" war but, I don't think blaming an ad that makes fun of FPS n00bs is the best way to make your point. It begins with two Hollywood buffoons in (for whatever reason) MultiCam taking heavy fire during an apparent New York City terrorist attack. The men calmly walk into a hailstorm of bullets, and return fire with rifles, pistols, and submachine guns. On some level—perhaps it's the intensity of the actors—the commercial wants its action to be taken seriously.
