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.

Hahaa. I probably weigh less than you. You can't rip on the others who aren't overweight just because a bunch of fat **** eat to much. What about the people who are fit and average weight? Obviously all of you Brits are ignorant. (at least all that I've met)


Lol one generalization after the other

I agree with this guy, I attend a college (or how you Brits say a University) of high standards, I'm 5'-11" and only weigh 176 lbs. which is well fit for someone like me, I may be a nerd but it's because I'm studying for a Bachelors of Science Computer Science Degree, so don't hate!

i think its funny that the only thing british people can say oh your fat eat mcdonalds allthough only 20% of america is fat
that is the biggest guess i have ever seen... the facts show that almost 40% of america is fat... the brits have a right to call us fat bc most of us eat fast food every day and dont eat healthy... but... the brits should shut their mouths bc for the majority of America that isnt fat (most of us) we are successful... and make money... which is why America is the most successful country and we arent pus*ies so we dont get upset over a video game
