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

There is no way that MW3 will be banned in the UK. That's a huge blow to Activision if that is the case. They would change the entire game if that really was the case.
Say for example that it did actually get banned in the UK. People would have it delivered by mail instead of buying it in stores. So it really wouldn't be a big deal for the hardcore gamers.
