If any doubts regarding the ability and resourcefulness of video game sleuths remained, one Resetera user went so far as to dig up a 2013 interview with upcoming COD movie director Peter Berg in which he inadvertently outs himself as a poor choice to direct a video game movie adaptation.In that old interview, Esquire asked Berg on the topic of war video games, specifically, and boy, did he have some words of wisdom, just a year after directing Battleship. "Pathetic. Pathetic. Keyboard courage. Can't stand it. The only people that I give a Call of Duty get-out-of-jail-free card to is the military. They're out there serving and they're bored and they want to entertain themselves? Okay, maybe. Kids? Uh-uh."And honestly, I do agree with what he's saying. I like it when the military plays Call of Duty because nobody is actually getting killed while they're at it. I'm also not too keen on kids playing COD because it'll definitely give them the wrong idea of what a career in the military entails. I doubt Berg and I share the reasoning for these beliefs, though.Image via ActivisionI also find it disingenuous to call out people who enjoy simulated war in video games when you've made a career out of simulating war, for entertainment, not even for realism, in another media. The "public advocate of American manhood", as Esquire calls him, went on to talk about his recurring hangouts with the Navy SEALs and about how he lectures gamer SEALs on how to ditch games and live life to the fullest."Some of them do. But I tell them I think it's pathetic. I think anyone that sits around playing video games for four hours… It's weak. Get out, do something.”Let's forget that he doesn't actually provide them with any alternative to COD, and notice that this man seemed highly interested in pissing off all the demographics that could be interested in his future movie.There's more to the interview, where Berg devolves into the classic diatribe on how "everyone's getting a trophy nowadays," which, well, Call of Duty also has a lot of, and how that's a thing people really like. Still, I don't want to call out Berg. For all intents and purposes, I understand how that could be the kind of guy you get to direct a big, loud movie about fake warfare, provided he doesn't have a disdain for all parts of it.So, yeah, I'm betting that the Call of Duty movie will feel a lot more like a big ol' paycheck for Berg than a big auteurial showcase, but only time will tell.The post Fans found a huge skeleton in the Call of Duty movie director’s closet appeared first on Destructoid.
