The scene in which you play as a terrorist is skippable. If the Australian board is getting pissy about it, can't Infinity Ward just remove it from the game? It'd take no effort to do so.
Obviously if the game has already been shipped then they're fucked.

A lot of people need to learn how to read, this has been said about five or six times now:
[HEADING=1]MODERN WARFARE 2 IS NOT BANNED IN AUSTRALIA. THE OFLC HAS NO INTENTION OF RECONSIDERING THE MA15+ RATING. GO FORTH FELLOW AUSSIES AND BUY THE GAME AT YOUR LOCAL EB, JB HI-FI OR GAME STORES.[/HEADING]

I agree. I hate this fucking country. Fuck it. I hate edited versions of games. Get an R 18+ rating, then kids can't play the games,as it is illegal. If parents are stupid enough to still buy it, which the most likely won't, as an R 18+ sticker looks way worse than an MA 15+ sticker, they are fucking idiots and it is solely their fault.Kinghoza said:How does it feel to be fucked in the ass by the goverment, Australia?
Why arent you guys doing anything? Get dem torches and pikes and rush at 'em.
My ass hurts.
I think Australia's government is the perfect example of the extremely of protective parent you know the one that yelled at you for pretending that a stick was a (sword gun spear or any other type of weapon). I thought the ESRB had rating games down to a science so why do they need to spend money of doing it again? (but who am i to say i don't live there)Mihz00 said:
I'm sorry to all of you that Live in Australia that wanted MW2. If there was a why to spend a shipment to you all secretly i would, just to spite the government.
It is something he said, around the price of games selling for twice as much here as they do elsewhere. Personally I wanted to slap him for it. Someone in our government could of overheard and we really would have a beach tax after that happens. Everything else is taxed.D4zZ said:
I kid you not, on top of income tax you have: sales tax, GST, state taxes, federal levies, luxury taxes, sin taxes... the list bloody well goes on. Hell, it was a fight just to stop them from putting even more taxes on 'woman hygiene products.' I kid you not, they wanted you to pay more taxes for being female... or bleed everywhere, your choice. I used to point out that on certain items, such as cigs, you half the money is going on taxes. No more though, no they RAISED the taxes so now more then three quarters of the prices is tax!
We need no more bloody taxes Yahtzee, stop giving them ideas!
PS: Four days, four more bloody days till I can kiss this country goodbye.
PSS: As for the way these games are decided... there is no scientific method, no one really knows how they come up with the ratings (here and in the US it seems). Dart board method?
Next thing you know, they will let it into the country but only sell it in 'Adult Shops', and such games will become taboo too be seen purchasing and owning.Pillypill said:
