Following the tragic massacre in Norway, Call of Duty has been pulled from two major retailers. Not only has Call of Duty been removed from shelves, but other violent first person shooters have also been pulled.

One of the stores, called Coop, made a statement saying:

"In light of Friday's horrific events, and out of respect for those affected, we have chosen to remove selected items from our range."

Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: World at War Platinum, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Classic, Homefront, Sniper: Ghost Warrior, Counter-Strike Source, and World of Warcraft have all been pulled from the store shelves at Coop.

Another store chain called Platekompaniet has also removed various shooters and other games from it's shelves.

Although the shooter from the incident, Anders Breivik, stated he had very little interest in first person shooters, he did state:

[Modern Warfare 2 was] "part of my training simulation…You can more or less completely simulate actual operations."

Breivik did spend a lot of time using video games, but he was more geared towards RPGs and fantasy titles. He was a self proclaimed World of Warcraft addict. It is believed he made the claims of addiction to cover up the time he spent meticulously planning his attack.

So what are your opinions? Do you think that these games should have been pulled due to the attack? Are his claims that he used violent, first person shooters to plan his attack justification enough to deprive consumers of a product that they have the right to purchase?

Where you high when you posted that?

I said that nobody does anything when religion causes death.

this was a quite interesting thread to be read

Yes they do? Have you not heard of 9/11 / other suicide bombings? A lot of terrorism is caused by muslim-extremists, and people DO do something about it (IE Increased flight security).

Also, nothing against muslims, referring to muslim-extremists, who take it too far.

Why just Muslims
They're not the only religious terrorists..
The KKK were Christians. And Anders Bering Brevik was Christian.

Also there is no proof terrorists were behind 9/11..
Just Muslim extremists who took credit..

Those Muslim extremists, based on there actions, were terrorists, bro.

It's just up to debate whether or not they were affiliated with Al Qaeda.

I think what he's trying to say is that, in general, when there are people like the Muslim extremists, all the other people of that faith have to do is say something that denies any affiliation with that group, and everyone in that religion gets off scot-free. And then it happens again, and then the again, and then again... but no one seems to be noticing a pattern, because apparently religion is pure. :rolleyes:

Kneejerk reaction, surely the will ban all kinds of violent media then if they have taken CoD off the shelves

Just because of one ridiculous dumbass they take away fun for the rest of the people who actually use it as a game? I understand why they did it and all, but its not fair to other gamers.

It better be or i will have to send mw3 copies over to my friends in Norway.. -.-

Well FPS lovers from Norway are going to be mad.
