Modern Warfare 3 to be banned in the UK?

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 criticized by some for its No Russian level, which allowed players to shoot civilians at an airport while taking on the role of a terrorist.

  5. I didn't sht when you played an AMERICAN killing innocents. In an AIRPORT no less. I understand they've struck a nerve, but if a country who's been struck by terrorist airlines can stand being the terrorist in a airport, UK can get over it.
