Anyway, I leave it up to you to read the article:

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 Dail 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

LOL... The Daily Mail sees a train in a trailer and INSTANTLY thinks "OMG A TRAIN WITH TERRORISTS IS CRASHING THAT SOMEHOW LINKS TO A TRAIN GETTING BLOWN UP IN 05!!"
Will it balls get banned... why do you think when you first start the game a message comes up saying "Would you like to enable mature content?"
I find it funny that people above believe this bullsh*t, shows how brainwashed by the media they are.

Daily mail hate on anything and don't know a thing
MOH was meant to be banned however it was not the reason
The rating group for the EU and UK found nothing they could ban it for.
End of the day it won't be banned nothing over the top within the game. And welcome to the media show of we dont know what we talking about.
