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.

Cinema4D LOL at all the immature AMERICANS AND BRITS! Seriously grow the f*ck up. and before any brit tries to hate, remember what country is even making the game, and to all americans, remember if it wasn't for england we wouldn't be here. So quit being so ignorant and disrespectful, people of both countries!

Batesey why not make the mission optional like they did with "no russian" in Mw2?

Due to the fact that it is one of the four locations that the developers chose to make teaser trailers for, I highly doubt that there would only be one mission and that its storyline would be possible just to skip. As with "No Russian", we the players had already been told that this guy was a terrorist and all that the mission really did was confirm to us that he was a terrorist.

-Off Topic- UK? USA? Why does it matter? The UK would have been invaded/conquered in WWII if the Americans hadn't joined the allies. The USA wouldn't have been founded had the British not decided to colonize North America. Neither would still be here without the other. Enough said.
I couldn't agree more with the off topic discussion.

Crack_Fox Lol at the Americans on this topic, there is nothing to be proud of being an American, your country has no history, its a fat child in an already old world. 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
Lol its funny because you think everything that is wrote in your country is the truth, go play with the traffic.
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.

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

not to be a dick but why did u say the Civil war, that was against your own country lol the southern states who wanted slaves and northern who didnt, if trying to win a fight against that guy man dont bring in a war that you had to fight against your own guys, but i agree with the one guy that said without both of you guys no one would be here

Also to add to your Rev War the Americans did not fight fair, they would kill the british troops while they were sleeping, so not a win to be proud of
