Rules of Engagement
At Hit Self-Destruct, Duncan writes about Far Cry 2, Call of Duty 4, rules of engagement and civilian deaths: “Where there are no civilians, there are no mistakes, there’s no
collateral damage and it starts to feel safe. It changes from war into
a murder mystery vacation. Maybe there isn’t a morally unimpeachable
way to make a entertaining game about atrocities, but I’d feel better
if those games didn’t try and make me feel so good.”
