Modern Warfare 3 to be banned in the UK?
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.

StopTheProNetflix-Unknown-Noah-Don't even get me started on the Revolutionary War. The Britains got their **** kicked then , & we could still do the same now. We invaded with Russia during WWII. We defeated the Japs, Korean War(although nobody really won, we still have our problems, & airbases in S.K. But technically We could've won the Vietnam War. That one was a complete joke as with the war in Afghan/Pakistan. Also we are in conflict with Libya right now. Which I hope will be stopped with in the next few years! As for Obama, I hate that socialist man in office & should be impeached upon immediately. Our country has been through many tough times & has survived a lot of it. So please do not call us Americans lazy! Go ahead & start a War with us, lets just see who has the higher superiority...big brother.Noah-
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.
Although I do have some respect for America and I have to say that the stuff about WW1 and WW2 is rubbish. Yes, we were completely owned the the Revolutionary War but the two World Wars were not American victories. It was, though, because they were allied with us.
WW1: the US joins in 1917. Full troops deployment in 1918.
WW2: the US joins only after being attacked. Remember that before they joined the Americans treated every German U Boat as hostile. They destroyed these boats with their warships and cruelly machine gunned survivors in the water. Germany never declared war on the US.
America then uses the Atom bomb. There is still controversy about that today. The Japanese attack pearl Harbor so the Americans drop an atom bomb and kill thousands of innocent civillians?
Number of civillians killed in Pearl Harbor: 68.
Total number of people killed in Pearl Harbor: 2,403.
Number of civillians killed in Nagasaki and Hiroshima (including people dying from radiation): over 100,000.
The Allies won the war, yes. But not America. They won WITH us.
And yes, the UK could be completely obliterated by the US. But remember that we are just a small island off of the east coast of Europe - America is a massive continent! England is much older than the States, and has more history.
So yeah, don't go hating on us (the Brits). We don't have bad teeth. We produced some of the first settlers of the United States. Not to mention that Columbus was an Italian. The Europeans found America imo. But oh well.
I think Britain just won that argument

It's funny watching all these idiots fight over which country is superior, and then get satisfaction from saying something completely invalid.
Ignorance is bliss.
Ignorance is bliss.

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
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.
