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

Mw2 had terrorist levels in the airport.. 9/11 occured with aircraft in the US. And the US didn't ban the game. The UK is over reacting Smile

We saw plenty of drama stirred up over EA's Medal of Honor and the controversial-yet-then-playable Taliban forces, then government threats of banning the game from GameStop stores. EA eventually buckled under pressure and removed the "Taliban" tag. I guess Activision will remove the England underground destruction mode.
