Beware of the ‘Meat Shield’
Filed under: News
Sometimes it nearly feels like people are trying really hard to start controversy where there isn’t any. Arizona’s KTVK-TV is the latest in a long line of videogame fear mongering by warning parents of the horrors of the ‘meat shield,’ according to Game Politics.
Citing a Yahoo!Games report detailing features in Gears of War 2 KTVK-TV warns, “A popular video game for the Xbox 360 is getting a sequel this year – and it seems to be raising eyebrows with its level of gore and detail … The game certainly attracted attention for its realistic visuals and battle scenes, but caused some pause when game designers showed off a new attack players can use in the game.”
The report continued to warn, “Players can pick up the corpses of fallen enemies and use them as a “meat shield” to protect themself from enemy fire as they engage in battle from behind the corpse.”
As good as Gears 2 looks, calling it’s visuals realistic is like saying E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial is based on a true story. Are we really resorting to hyping-up hate for a game months before it releases?
