I am playing the 360 version btw.

As for GTA SA who knows and who even cares ... I don't bother with games like that and white people should feel glad they aren't in crap like that. GRAW was cool about having brothers in it which is another reason I really enjoy that game and will never trade it in. Monir I don't know why you want to keep your head in the sand about the issue but that is your choice. As I said before being a black man in America I have NO choice but to confront issues of race and prejudice every day of my existence. Those other races you mentioned are just not being treated anywhere nearly as poorly worldwide as black people and people of African Descent whether you want to admit it or not. But before this gets out of hand I get upset I am just going to stop now. I said what I wanted and I am sure most people understood my point.

It may not have been the norm 10 years ago, but it is today, it's simply more realistic since there are people of all colors in real life, there should be likewise in games. Oh, and why are there no white people in GTA San Andreas ;) There are blacks in CoD3, in Gears, in GRAW and a lot of other games.

As evidenced by my friends on this site making a point of BF2's stereotypical nature and the fact that in all the CoD games I have played there has not been one black person in them and I know damn well black soldiers helped to make a huge difference in WWII though you would never know it by that series.

If you get my point, but you'd have to have played BF2 for a while to get it fully.

Could be, but I doubt it.

I just love how the lead hero is a cool smart powerful Black man. Much like the leads of my mod for UT2K7 ... this will hopefully get the video game industry thinking in more positive terms when it comes to black male characters and get more black youths into the math and science backgrounds they need in order to pursue careers within the gaming and hi-tech industries. Plus the game itself looks like it is going to be all kinds of fun so Woot! Bring on that demo and then the game please.
