Some early scenes in the trailers and previewed to video game journalists have raised eyebrows for the brutal violence needed to progress through the story. That's because 'Modern Warfare' – beyond delivering the fun factor of a virtual shooting gallery – is meant to live up to its name in depicting “what the modern battlefield looks like,' Kurosaki said.
'Just because we cover some heavy subjects, we are not treating them in a flippant way,' he said in an interview with USA TODAY. These scenes in the story mode of the highly anticipated 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' ($59.99-up, for Microsoft Xbox One, Sony PlayStation 4 and Windows PCs, rated Mature for ages 17 and up) were not included for shock value, says Taylor Kurosaki, studio narrative director at Infinity Ward, the Santa Monica-based studio that created the game.
