Umm... well, it's funny that so many people hide behind the phrase "I was just doing my job." and yet ignore and moral scene. It's called accountability.

If he'd gone and done that here in Detroit, he'd likely been killed by any number of citizens packing heat. I guess that's why they chose Auckland and not Detroit to pull that off.

They should of tried this in Texas

😵 today's youth scare the hell out of me (its like there common since rand away) and companies scare me just as bad (do companies even have to abide by moral rules or laws?). I mean seriously how could anything even remotely like this work as a marketing plan??? Guns + Crowd of people + Bar = bad see common since the actor should have been smart enough to say Hey maybe going into a bar with a fake gun around drunk people and then pointing it at them could be bad. I mean seriously common since 101 really glad this guy didn't try this in the states specifically in south if he would have been a candidate for the Darwin awards

[citation][nom]invlem[/nom]Good thing this didn't happen in the US, pretty sure he'd be dead or in the hospital right now[/citation]

He would have had a real .45ACP USP tactical!

And they could have hired somebody from Black-Water.

If this stunt had been pulled here in Texas, the headlines would have read... "Man was shot 100 times while attempting a marketing stunt involving a fake gun".

[citation][nom]bogcotton[/nom]Lol, he was probably just an innocent actor getting paid to do something rediculously stupid.What I dont get is, where is the marketing side of this?A dude with bandages aiming a gun at civilians?Sam Fisher doesn't jump off a building and stab him or anything, so I don't see how it relates to the game in any way!?It's just a terrifying man waving a gun.[/citation]

Exactly. The people that came up with this idea should be fired. Or, even better, they should be the ones going out and waving guns in people faces. They could have at least put the guy in a Splinter Cell T-Shirt or something...
