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.

i understand what there saying by this but it wont happen im not sure what happens in the game w/ New York City but i was only like 10 when 9/11 happened and that was truly disturbing so if they do something terrorist related in NYC in MW3 it better be Americans destroying terrorists if its the other way around then its just to soon to do that kind of sh!t and that would be truly f*cked up

lol, thats like us ban the History channel because it upsets black people that 95% of history blacks were Mistreated.. Stupid people... if you Don't like something, don't play/watch it... you don't need your entire country to be prohibited from playing it just because your oversensitive...
although, if there are party chat restrictions it would be nice not to hear 11 yr old British kids talking in game chat!

Won't happen. It's just the usual pre game un-pc attitude we have come to expect from CoD.
Yeah people suffering is hard to take but this is a game ie not real, a story and besides MW3 is set in the future is it not? I know not very far but still it's not based off today's headlines, MoH was more risky.
Also to those people bad mouthing British players, grow some balls you, so stop acting hard on the internet because no one likes an internet gangster. Your prolly 12 anyway.
