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.

This is dumb if they are going to ban it for being offensive to some now, why didn't they ban Black Ops for the assassination attempt on Castro, I mean if they are going to ban a game for offensiveness then you have to ban them all or your just a hypocrit, will suck for the UK players if they do ban it though I hope they don't
