Modern Warfare 2 hasn't had the best publicity in the last couple of weeks. First there was the whole issue with Infinity Ward dumping dedicated servers for the upcoming first person shooter. Then there was the reveal of the highly controversial scene in the game (which we won't reveal in this post; head here to read the specifics).

The game was already rated as MA 15+ in Australia and therefore cleared to be sold in that country. However the early reveal of THAT SCENE has caused a media watchdog group in that country to ask the ratings board to reconsider that decision. According to the Sydney Morning Herald web site, Jane Roberts, the president of the Australian Council on Children and the Media, stated her displeasure at THAT SCENE, saying, "We understand that it's a game but ... we're not far off when you look at the images that you could actually put it on a Channel Nine news report and you'd think maybe that is real."
