Call of Duty

i know many people, or teenagers, who play call of duty, and im shocked on how transformed people become while playing their game. yelling at television screens and becoming enraged, going on a killing rampage. it is pretty terrifying. i dont think it would be the worst thing in the world if the video game became discontinued. it not only promotes violence, but war. there was a commercial prommoting violent videogames i saw the other day that stated "creating Killers." this spoke to me in the most negative, and yet powerful way. it was true that the videogames are now creating killers, and im fairly certain that many who do play those types of video games have had some pretty terrible moments by acting out of rage. to also put in perspective, it can depend on the person that is playing these games. if it is someone who can control themself better than most, it may be an acception, but for most they get sucked in and cant get out of a war state of mind. call of duty is probably one of the most popular video games out there, and it mostly targets the men. although this is a made-up game, can people take this to a level unimaginable? like actually goin to the store, purchasong a gun and killing someone with it? or is this game simply just a jult of adrenalin for the time being? i could not tell you, since o have never played the game myself, but for those who have a fedish for viollence already, this type of amusement may feed into the problem. Plus age plays a very big role in this. the younger they start out playing violent games, the more likely they'll turn out to be a violent person.
