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.

the brits gotta learn that the world isnt circled around them. yeah they created english. but other then that what? dont flame me for this but the brits have to deal with it. Germany and India and even the US are attacked by terrorists. but when a game comes out and has a terrorist attack on there country its not ok. atleast we have no more brits on mw3 and i still think activision should keep the chapter in there.

Goth_Wolf 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
Black ops history some stuff happened on real life
mw3 is all made up. But uk player can always buy it from ebay :P
