Battlefield 3 effectively banned in Iran

4.2
A new report picked up by the Associated Press suggests Battlefield 3, which partially takes place in Tehran, has been prohibited from stores, even though EA has no official resellers in the region and many stores didn't bother hunting for stock in the first place. However, local police have apparently already raided a few shops for selling pirated copies of the game.

"We understand that the story of a videogame is hypothetical," an online petition filed by an Iranian youth group read. "We believe the game is purposely released at a time when the US is pushing the international community into fearing Iran." If there's a silver lining in this, it's that a lot of Iranians won't be subjected to Battlefield 3's lackluster single-player campaign.

Not even. The plastic it's printed on is more interesting than the game.

Says the guy who's never played it.

I bet your loving MW2.5 right now right?


I bet your loving you frostbug2 engine and I do have bf3 im level 38 and then got mw3 and yea haven't touched battlefield since
And on topic I can see why they would be mad but it is just a game
sooo, let me see, you either boosted or played a large amount of time in BF3 before playing MW2.5 (getting to level 38 takes almost 3 days of game time to get to)

It takes a while to get to 38. So your telling me you put a significant amount of time into a game that you feel is not worth anything? Either your a masochist or a hypocrite, maybe both.
