Suspect Behind Norwegian Attacks Claims He Used Modern Warfare 2 for Training
In it, Breivik complains about the "rise of cultural Marxism/multiculturalism" and "Islamic colonization and Islamisation of Western Europe." He goes on to lay out how "fellow patriots" can combat the situation - and most his solutions end with violence.
But for the sake of discussion, we're going to skip all that (you can read an exhaustive report from the Associated Press here) and jump to the part in the manifesto where he talks about Modern Warfare 2 and using MMO games such as World of Warcraft to explain being in isolation while you "train."
In a February 2010 entry he writes about buying "Modern Warfare 2" and claims that it is "probably the best military simulator out there and it’s one of the hottest games this year." He goes on to say that the first game wasn't to his liking, but he sees Modern Warfare 2 as more of a "training-simulation than anything else."
He also mentions that the best way of "avoiding suspicion from relatives, neighbours and friends," for your activities is to tell them “that you have started to play World of Warcraft or any other online MMO game and that you wish to focus on this for the next months/year." Berwick says this will help you "justify isolation and people will understand somewhat why you are not answering your phone over long periods."
Under a subsection entitled "Training Facilities," he recommends "[traditional] military training facilities focused on physical conditioning and skills training," but says that "[newer] facilities make extensive use of computer simulations of various kinds to provide more hours or training in more realistic situations at lower cost and with lower risk to personnel." He advises that "[temporary] arrangements can be made with the local gun club, the local gym and an internet café which facilitates multiplayer Modern Warfare 2 simulation."
In another subsection entitled "Marksmanship," he claims that real-world practice with "a real assault rifle" is important, but that "[simulation] by playing Call of Duty, Modern Warfare is a good alternative as well."
While the mere mention of a video game in a rambling, 1500 page manifesto might be enough proof for some, the connection between Breivik’s actions and his alleged training with MW2 are tenuous is best. Nevertheless, we will continue to report on this story as it develops.

iAmMasterF hes like a dumb child, like when we watched mortal kombat as kids, we would try to play fight, the fact that he mentioned a game shows how much of a r tard this guy really is.
We still haven't heard is main reasons on why he's such an idiot to kill innocent ppl.
If it was up to me i would torture him every day until he feels guilty... then once he does, i'd give him a slow painful death. sorry for being so brutal about it, but i just hate stupid r tarded maniacs that ruin this world.
His motives where pretty clear based off of his manifesto. Which is Labour government. He's a conservative. It was a Labour party kids camp. He tried to wipe out a generation of Labour from the country so they wouldn't stay in power and allow immigration.
Unrelated to the qoute, Norway's max prison sentence is twenty-one years, and if you've ever seen a Norwegian prison cell before, they're quite nice. Maybe even better than some college dorms with their TV and all. So, I feel that living in a nice cell for twenty years isn't a justifiable punishment for what he did.

That was more like some GTA4 shit if you ask me, however it doesn't really matter what it truly was I just know that idiot put a hole in shooter games! I don't know if anyone remembers when some parents went on a pretty big campaign to get rid of shooter games and didn't really work so well then but after this instance I'm pretty sure games like this will be blamed for everything and thus that much closer to ever extinction!
