I can understand if this was the case for the single player campaign. Where there might be limitations in scripting the story for a female as well as a male character. But for multiplayer, the explanation is a bit more difficult to swallow. I'm not a game designer, nor am I CoD player, but wouldn't a texture pack be able to easily solve this issue?
The BBS in Sri Lanka are also agitating against the Christian community. They are essentially making a lot of noise along the lines of how the great Sinhala-Budhist ethnicity is being eroded by minority influences. This is in a country where Sinhalese make up about 70% of the population.
Hair brained conspiracy theories of hidden population control methods are always popping up on the FB pages of these hate groups. An example is the contraceptive laced toffees that are handed out at the counter of a popular clothing store chain owned by a Muslim family.
It's all just mindblowingly ridiculous. People just looking for reasons to be assholes to others.
I absolutely love the Culture series. Although it doesn't delve into the Culture universe proper, Use of Weapons is one of the best books I've read. Would highly recommend checking out this book. The two narrative flows and the conclusion at the end, wow, just wow.
Exactly this. All fast food places I've been to simply have pre programmed buttons that dispense the correct amount rather than manually starting and stopping the coffee pouring. I guess this tip depends on the vendor.
I wonder what the setup for CoD was. Were they playing against each other whether it was public games. I'd say most people would get violent tendencies after playing CoD on public servers.
But why should it matter whether they are in it for the money or not. The fact of the matter is that their source is open and people can take it and do things with it.
I can second this. While support for games is improving on nix, it's still a huge turn off to have to switch OSs when you want to load up whatever you're playing. So it's still nix at work, Windows at home for me.
