I agree with that. Most censorship bored are conservative, crotchety old bastards that look at everything on a surface level. They don't see how the impact of a scene like that will be because they probably don't understand the context. I think if I were on the board that looked at these games I would be more critical of a scene that portrayed the pointless slaughter of innocents then I would about the maiming and decapitation of "creatures" that have no human consciousness.Physical violence was always more censored than psychological violence. Braindead is rated R/+18 almost everywhere, while more disturbing Hitchcock movies are usually +12. MW2's airport scene is pretty tame gore-wise, the impact is mostly psychological. L4D2 is extremely gory, and most importantly it aims to make this violence one of the main entertainment sources. The airport scene of MW2 is definately not intended to be *fun*.
