| [00:00.00] | Thousands of UK gamers queued into the night |
| [00:03.70] | for the launch of what may be the world’s most anticipated video game. |
| [00:08.06] | Video game retailers opened at midnight to sell the first copies of |
| [00:12.14] | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, |
| [00:14.98] | a game which is widely expected to shatter sales records. |
| [00:20.35] | The latest instalment in the Call of Duty franchise |
| [00:23.02] | was officially launched in the UK |
| [00:25.21] | at a cinema in Leicester Square in the heart of London’s West End, |
| [00:29.73] | a site usually reserved for the premiere of Hollywood blockbusters. |
| [00:34.71] | Actors dressed as soldiers patrolled the square |
| [00:37.41] | while British celebrities joined gamers |
| [00:39.76] | to take part in multiplayer sessions of the game. |
| [00:43.50] | The game, which is tipped to sell more than a million copies in the UK |
| [00:46.92] | in its first week of release, |
| [00:48.87] | features astonishing graphics and exciting gameplay |
| [00:52.54] | as the player takes on a group of ultra-nationalist Russian terrorists. |
| [00:57.98] | Predictably, the game has provoked a certain amount of criticism |
| [01:01.46] | as it is extremely violent and features a controversial scene |
| [01:05.56] | in which civilians are killed at an airport. |
| [01:10.02] | One British MP has attacked the game in the press, |
| [01:12.89] | describing his "absolute shock" at the violence portrayed in the game. |
| [01:18.05] | However, another MP has defended the game |
| [01:20.74] | by setting up a group on a social-networking website |
| [01:23.81] | which describes itself as "unashamedly pro-video games" |
| [01:29.08] | and which aims to "discuss how UK video gamers |
| [01:32.84] | can find their voice in newspapers and government". |
| [01:36.70] | More cynical observers have said that the game’s developers |
| [01:39.46] | deliberately included the scene in which civilians are massacred |
| [01:43.43] | in order to stir up controversy, |
| [01:46.08] | knowing that this will generate a huge amount of free publicity. |
| [01:49.32] | Whatever people’s views on violence in computer games, |
| [01:52.83] | the game is flying off the shelves around the UK |
| [01:56.63] | and is expected to generate $400m globally for its publishers. |
