The Columbine killings were attributed to their love for violent video games:

en.wikipedia.org

None of the games you mentioned would really go beyond more than the first line for me, at worst they might come close to the 2nd, but probably not cross it

You're telling me a video game of someone murdering kids and babies as I suggested possibly does not even cross line 2 for you?
A game where US citizen vigilantes go around and murder Muslim looking people only might get you "seriously pissed off"?

This all came about because a woman who had just lost her son in Afghanistan, found the game highly offensive, as do I.

Opfor - where one side takes the role of killing American service members.

There is no killing , they are using blanks.....now before you go and say the same about video games, the video games are so realistic that blood spurts and limbs are blown off in very graphic detail, and one pictures in their mind the actual killing as if they witnessed it...big difference I would argue.
