He didn't say that. He said art and entertainment shouldn't be censored unless the content is illegal - which is right. I'm just repeating what he said now!

unless it's illegal? ie censored

If they said any depictions of terrorism in media was illegal then by that logic it would be fine to censor it

Congratulations mothers against whatever it is this time. Free publicity for Activision, thats all that they have achieved.

CoD series is now like the golf gti, every release it gets a bit worse and only the die hard faithful, or in this case sheep will buy it.

I wouldn't mind if the game was banned anyway.

gronf · 28 May 2011 at 20:24

Had no idea about that Hitman 2 mess! :eek:

Anyway, couldn't care less about the game itself, but I too disagree with such censorship.

Considering I have just seen a TV advert for it during the football, I very much doubt it.

HangTime · 29 May 2011 at 00:58

First time I've ever seen a TV ad for a game that isn't out for 6 months.

has anyone here though of how these under age kids play the games? its not the mothers letting them play the games, its the mothers BUYING the games for them in the first place. think outside the box,,,

I say ban it. Hate CoD now. Do us a favour.

I dont like anymore either but saying that is rubbish. Banning it would set a precedance and it would be entirely knee jerk. Would they then ban BF3 because it features fighting against Iran therefore is inciteful.

You would also have to go bck and ban age of empires because you can kill civilians?

G18241 · 29 May 2011 at 09:04

...its a game :/

Have all WW2 games been banned in Germany?

gropingmantis · 29 May 2011 at 09:04

I dont understand.

Is this worse than when I re-enacted 9/11 in Flight Sim 98? If so they should ban that game too tbh.

Agreed it won't get banned as it would set a precedent that would pretty much cripple the games industry in the UK and NOBODY would let that happen.

Yeah, just like the mkv gti, top gear car of the year, was so much worse than the mkiv and mkiii gti :confused:

Follow that through then Plato...what are you ultimately saying here, that we should not be allowed to choose our own forms of entertainment because some mothers are crap at their job? No.

TheEnosFam · 29 May 2011 at 09:27

There is a reason this games are 18+. If you want to buy it for your children make sure they know the difference of Games and reality. If they don't and they try to blow something up or shoot someone. Don't blame the game blame your parenting because they probably would have done it anyway they just figure blaming the game will get them in less trouble. Kids are smarter than some people like to give credit for, its the parents that are getting dumber

my 2 cents. and by the way I personally can't wait for this and BF3. Bring the pain B*****S

vintage-x · 29 May 2011 at 09:27

I think they should ban Mass effect 3 while they are at it. In the trailer is shows London being destroyed.

The whole thing will die off in a couple of months and the MW3 will end up breaking records like the second one did.

I have to admit though I haven't liked the COD games since the second one but this one looks quite good so will pick it up cheap a few months later

FallshirmjAEger · 29 May 2011 at 10:06

Ban it.

Using the same 5 year old GFX should be a crime.

MumboJumbo · 29 May 2011 at 10:14

I think it's disgusting that this game is being released. Not only is it advertising terrorism and making money off it but I'm getting sick of just hearing the word COD.

TROLOLOLOL....no really I am getting sick of hearing the word COD though. Even my mum knows what COD is

It'll get new graphics when the new consoles are out. Don't like it, don't play it.

Joey1988 · 29 May 2011 at 12:40

Wow, I would laugh so hard if it did get banned. Imagine the wide spread nerd rage.

Locky · 29 May 2011 at 12:46

All the people that are slating it before it's out are the ones that are probably crap at the game to be honest.

They they get owned online and then come whine on an internet forum how poor the game is blah blah blah.

End of the day don't like it, don't buy it, simples..
