Modern Warfare 3 to be banned in the UK?

4.3
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Reveal Trailer, which shows scenes of terrorism on the London Underground, is reported to have led to calls for the game to be banned, reports the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail is comparing the London Underground scenes to the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London, with those affected unhappy about the likeness found in Activision's guaranteed smash hit.

Vivienne Pattison of Mediawatch UK has "concerns" because "these games are hyper-real," adding MW3 "is in incredibly poor taste".

This isn't the first time Call of Duty has skirted with controversy. Modern Warfare 2 was heavily criticised by some for its No Russian level, which allowed players to shoot civilians at an airport while taking on the role of a terrorist.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be released worldwide on November 8.

Hope CoD does get banned in UK, it's for all the people that think they are well good at shooting games, they dont realize that they are playing a kiddies shooter game, its a terrible game, holds nothing to Killzone or Battlefield games that take actual skill instead of randomly spinning and being a overall douche.

Crack_Fox Lol at the Americans on this topic, there is nothing to be proud of being an American, your country has no history, its a fat child in an already old world. The only reason your country is powerful is because of the sheer size of it. If it wasn't for Britian YOU wouldn't be alive now, you talk about how great your country is but the truth is, your country is stupid, Obamas bulletproof car, costing millions can't even get up a ramp in Ireland ? Britian just sits back and LOLS at your country, like a big brother laughing at his fat little brother.

Also the obesity rate in America is 46%, so yes you guys are fat ****s.

i am sorry but i think in the history books in here america shows us winning the Revolutionary war against you tea drinking **** and we are not all fat i am at 7 percent fat percentage ****. Also have you seen the kind of teeth your girls have why dont you go lose another war
Lol its funny because you think everything that is wrote in your country is the truth, go play with the traffic.
I have no problem with Americans in general, i have met loads IRL and they always seem fine, Although its when idiots like the yanks on this board post a stupid comment, Revolutionary war wasn't really a war? it was basically the removal of Britian so America can be independant, your history and logic sucks.
How many wars has America had ? Compared to the small Island of Britian?
Teeth lol @ Stereotypes, Austin Powers ? At least if your going to make an accusation, do some research before hand.
Lol America got there **** handed to them in Vietnam, there is a fact if there ever was one.

it seems like you do have a prob with Americans and plus it was a War Moron it is just written differently it your books because you are mad that you lost. So we have been in a lot of wars we just keep improving on them
Rev War = Victory
Civil War = No more Slaves
WWI = Victory
WWII = Victory
Vietnam = Only loss
Afgan = Still happening but we killed Bin Laden not you panzee **** british thanks for the help


u didnt win ww2 the russians did, you guys just bombed and killed lots of inocent japs.

Yo I just wanted to say that we didn't lose the Vietnam war necessarily, we just lost the home support. There was loads of protesting going on and the rise of the counter-culture.
Anyways, chill with the arguing about countries.

Its written the same here, Britian had to surrender due to the Spanish intervening and joining side with you, remember Britian is not alone in this world like America. EU.

not to be a **** but why did u say the Civil war, that was against your own country lol the southern states who wanted slaves and northern who didnt, if trying to win a fight against that guy man dont bring in a war that you had to fight against your own guys, but i agree with the one guy that said without both of you guys no one would be here

Also to add to your Rev War the Americans did not fight fair, they would kill the british troops while they were sleeping, so not a win to be proud of

i am proud but i was just listing the wars that came after but oh well

side note Americans would be here because people came from many different countries in Europe and Asia
