Black Ops II and Medal of Honor: Warfighter have both been banned in Pakistan, according to a ruling from a Pakistani Manufacturers Association. Apparently, the messages being relayed by these military shooters aren’t in Pakistan’s best interest, hence the ban.
“They show the country in a very poor light,” said a correspondent on the matter. Those that break the ban could face jail time, community service, or other harsh punishments, and according to Fox News merchants have been warned.
“These games have been developed against the country’s national unity and sanctity. They 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.”
There you have it readers in Pakistan, no Blops 2 for you. There’s no Medal of Honor: Warfighter either, but it’s not likely that you care all that much about that, now do you?
