(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just this story pop up on virginmedia.com and well, it suggests that MW3 might be banned in the UK. It will be a major blow to Activision. The Daily Mail are saying this is going to happen because in the MW3 trailer in England part is thought to be the 7/7 attacks in London in 2007.

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

I see where they are coming from. But I think its pretty harsh to ban it. They should just make a certain version of Mw3 without that mission. Or we should have the option to skip that mission.

who actually gives a ****, i want the 9/11 towers to come down in mw3, london bombings every terrorist attack, it would make it more realistic and give the game a even more gripping story line, idc what any of you said, its happens so deal with it, past is past move on

Why when all PS3s are region free. A game from Nigeria will play fine on a US console.

Did not quite understand but I think you were saying why not get one from Nigeria I was just using North America as a example.
