10 Hidden Ways Video Games Punished You For BREAKING The Rules

10. Children Are Non-Combatants - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare doesn't shy away from showing the horrors of real war alongside its typical action-packed first-person shooter experience, but there is one line that even Activision isn't willing to cross: child murder.

The mission "Clean House" is a unique operation in the game where you participate in a raid on a house suspected of secretly hosting Al-Qatala members.

The residence is indeed a safehouse for the terrorist group, but as you explore it, it turns out there are also some innocent civilians in there, including a mother with a baby.

When you stumble upon the woman, the game expects you to let her run out with the child, but you can choose to be an evil bastard and shoot at the helpless baby instead.

At first, the game will let you off with a game over screen and a message reminding you that "children are non-combatants."

However, if you still keep shooting at them afterward, the message will turn into a series of disappointed comments until the game finally gives up and simply quits the mission altogether.

Sorry, child killers don't get to participate in raids.
