One former Half-Life 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Valve developer says that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3’s use of quotes is “gross.”

Might save you a click:

Faliszek then shares a screenshot from CoD Modern Warfare 3, whereby a quote from Parks, one of the central figures of the American Civil Rights Movement, appears in Call of Duty after you have died. “Knowing what must be done does away with fear,” the quote from Parks reads.

“Dear Call of Duty team,” Faliszek continues, “I get it. You’re thinking ‘she has this great quote, she’s a civil-rights activist, we’re going to call attention to her.’ No. This is exploitative. This is gross. Rosa Parks has nothing to do with the grossness of your shoot people in the face game. Don’t have her as a death quote. Just don’t.”

Operation Flashpoint at least kills you with quotes that go ‘war is bad, actually.’

Nope, nevermind, checked the list, it’s a similar grab-bag.
