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.

ZBrush May I ask Why?

Im British and I understand only a small amount of what they are saying.
Don't get me wrong it may upset some people who were involved in the tragedy's But if its not your thing cant people just make the decision for themselves and NOT BUY IT FFS.

next thing we will start seeing movies banned because it showed "Terrorism" All I can say is.
Seriously?


It's because people who lost loved ones who were affected by it don't want it being re-enacted so to speak in a video game for entertainment purposes.

I see where they're coming from.
It's just IW making obscure un- PC story lines again.
