back to article Videogame TRAINS TERRORISTS, yells pundit

Modern combat-inspired first-person shooter series Call of Duty may have unwittingly influenced the attack on Moscow's Domodedovo airport, it has been claimed.

    No comparison really....

    If the real terror attacks were modelled using experiences from MW2, I'm pretty sure that at some point before the explosion the terrorist would get "pwn3d" by a 12 year old who would then repeatedly tell them how badly they had been beaten.

    Why blow yourself up ?

    1, make bomb

    2, put bomb in luggage

    3, leave luggage with bomb in unsecured area

    4, leave before bomb blows up

    See that's what happens when you pop out of the briefing before the last powerpoint slide.

    Milk?

    At some in their lives, all these terrorists drank milk. Milk is the cause of all evil.

    Ban milk.

    Beer, because not many islamic fanatics drink one.

    What is this?

    The headline clearly indicated this was about "TRAINS TERRORISTS"! Now I read it and find out it's not even about PLANES TERRORISTS!

    Seriously, would they have said anything different if it had been a night club instead of an airport? Well, perhaps it would be a different game. Of course next week travelers may find the perv scanners have been moved to the building entrances.

    In that MW2 level, you don't *have* to shoot any civilians, it's entirely up to the individual.
