Only if we can shoot the children. You know, graze em, let em wish they had something over their skin to take the shot instead of their skin.
Saw your thread on that, BTW. Have to say I don't agree. Since having a kid, I've been real sensitive about that sort of thing.
The quote you quoted was a joke, and you having a kid should mean you understand why dead children would be a good thing for setting the tone of a mission. I'm not actually asking to kill children, I just think it would be an effective way to make the player feel emotions about the mission. I would kill to avenge a dead child any day of the week, as I think most parents would, at least the violent video game playing ones.
Wouldn't you be furious at the sight of a dead child? I would, and it would immediately emotionally engage me in the mission I was playing. I don't want dead children cuz I'm sadistic or sick, (although I may be a little of both, but in this case it is irrelevant) I want it because it would make me feel for the people I was saving. It would make me want to fight, not just able to.
