i love the wire first-person shooter but i worry that making every character selectable in multiplayer compromises the story's canon. in my last match i played as brother mouzone and got fragged by assistant principal marcia donnelly with a grenade launcher. that never would've happened in the show

You're right, the spirit of The Wire gets lost in the shuffle - literally, when we're dodging grenade launchers on Franklin. Stick to the canon, the game's just a loose tribute.
