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.

skatertg Lol, I stopped reading when i saw "reports the Daily Mail".

All the Daily Mail prints is subtle racist comments and utter sh*t.

I was looking through the paper and saw this story and thought this will be a good TTG topic :)

I'm from Ireland not the Uk but I find this quite sad... I mean the past is the past but you shouldn't forget your loved ones... I mean come on some guy in America recreated the twin towers in a game and made you a victim of it you were trapped in the towers no one **** banned it.. But yeah if it does get banned in the Uk come on over to Ireland and buy one here! xD
