I don't think you points are bad at all but a lot of people out there will argue it as censorship and what have you. But honestly, would people not smoking be such a bad thing?

However, as a fan of Battlefield series I encounter too many kids and I really feel sorry for them. An adult -at least in theory- is "more capable" of separating fiction from reality (I said "more" because not all adults are capable of doing that). As for the lighters, any icon that may encourage smoking should be avoided as far as possible even when adults are in question. That's my point of view. As for the violence going on in these games, a game is a game and the violence it offers may at best serve as a device that may prevent players from hurting real people in the real life by channeling their violent intentions and innate, primitive instincts. However, at worst, its consequences may -sometimes- be devastating (I believe the latter is less frequent than the former). In short, bad examples should be avoided as much as possible since the outcomes may be various for different people. This is not about freedom, it's about precaution.

These games are not for kids though, shooting and killing isn't really for kids is it? Bad enough that adults play these games, (myself) included. But you can't see oh lighters should be used for trophies but it's okay to go and shoot a guy in the face point blank with a shotgun. Honestly lighters can be used with a lot of things.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to listening to some music in the choppers in the Vietnam extension pack. It's gonna be great.
