Call of Duty Modern Warfare games have immersed gamers in fictionalized yet seemingly realistic combat experiences that reference real world events. So it’s not surprising that the upcoming Modern Warfare 3 game refers to the Navy SEAL team that took out Osama bin Laden.

The reference could prove to be very controversial for the game, as it could mean that publisher Activision Blizzard will be on a tightrope. The reference could make the game get more attention on a worldwide scale and sell a lot more copies, or it could result in protests and boycotts if the matter isn’t handled properly. Those are high stakes for a game series where each new version sells more than $1 billion.

Kotaku, a game news site, reported that leaked information about the still-secret Modern Warfare 3 gamehttps://venturebeat.com/2011/05/14/report-says-modern-warfare-3-coming-nov-8/ (which is reportedly debuting on Nov. , refers to the Navy SEAL Team Six, which killed bin Laden in a raid on May 1. Kotaku said an audio file from the leaked materials said “Seal Team Six was sent in but they lost half their team on infil. We need to strike fast before the Russians can launch a counterattack.”

It isn’t likely, however, that the game will include a scene where players participate in an attack on bin Laden’s compound. That’s because it is pretty late to integrate such a major battle scene into the game and it hasn’t been Infinity Ward’s style to make its combat scenes too close to real-life events. Rather, the games recreate an immersive feeling of combat. The combat takes place in areas that resemble real-world places such as the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. But the scenarios often involve fictionalized characters and make-believe terrorists.

On the other hand, Infinity Ward hasn’t been afraid of making controversial scenes in its games, such as one in Modern Warfare 2 where the player takes part in a massacre of civilians at a Russian airport.

I highly doubt it, because the plot wont really involve bin Laden in any of the events that have been foretold to happen.

Putting bin Laden in there as an extra character to the plot is like putting Elvis Presley into it.

Navy seals part of the campaign, if they would do it, something that would be interesting

True, but they already have a hell of a plot to take care of. Makrov is the main target in the MW series, throwing in bin Laden would be foolish in my opinion, If they were to do anything with bin Laden it should at least have its own storyline, not just a side mission. Now that would be a good CoD series, from 9/11 till when the SEALs gunned down bin Laden.

Not to mention Makarov is Russian, bin Laden is Muslim.. The two groups have never had any relations, so having the two terrorists in the same game would look pretty gay.

oh sh*t i forgot that alqaeda CANT LIE sorry im wrong ur right!
