Pakistan BANS Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter!

[NickHouston]

Fox News is reporting that Pakistan has banned all Call of Duty and Medal of Honor games for showing their country “in a very poor light.”
Fox News states that this ban came in place due to shop owners telling the government how the games are representing their country.
A translated article from a Middle East digital media has stated:
The Association has always boycotted these types of films and games. These (games) have been developed against the country’s national unity and sanctity. The games (“Medal of Honor: Warfighter” and “Call of Duty: Black Ops II”) have been developed against Pakistan, and the association has completely banned their sale. Shopkeepers are warned and will be responsible for the consequences if found purchasing or selling these games.
Call of Duty and Medal of Honor both have a few sequences in Pakistan. More importantly, the newest Activision’s latest title, Black Ops II, also has many sequences in Pakistan showing them as the hotbed of terrorist activity. Activision’s most popular title will no longer be sold in Pakistan, leaving Activision without one of their major market in the Middle East.

Lol relax guys, I'm just keeping you informed on some current events. It's better to know about it than to be completely ignorant of it even happening.

It's unfortunate the few condemn the many and we seem to have such a jaded view.

Tis true. The few (terrorists , i.e. rag heads) condemn the many (i.e. Westerners).

And I have a jaded view of Wally's 200 cats he lives with.



And, for that matter, the few (i.e Pakistani censors) condemn the many (gamers, or developers, or whatever), and think that we think that every single Pakistani must be a terrorist because of a computer game. Now THAT'S a jaded view.

I mean, did Germany ban COD1?
