50 Most Controversial Video Game Trailers

37. Modern Warfare 3 Trailer

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 might be the only game that has caused controversy almost six months before it was due to be released after the first gameplay trailer showcased footage which heavily reminded people of the London 7/7 Tube bombings. Having been officially unveiled in the US on Monday, the provocative first look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sees Activision out aspects of the game’s plot including location previews from levels set in New York, Paris, Berlin and London. Depicting images of an attack on a London Tube train as well as gunfire surrounding Westminster and the Houses of Parliament, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailer was met with heavy uproar and outcry as supporters of those affected by the terrorist attacks that hit London in 2005 had called for the game to be banned.
