Talking to the radio show National Interest, the Attorney-general of South-Australia, Michael Atkinson has stated that he will be appealing the Office of Film and Literature Classification’s (OFLC) decision to allow Modern Warfare 2 to be sold under the 15+ rating in Australia.
The game has caused controversy already due to a scene which enables players to take part in “terrorist” activities. These actions according to Atkinson “allow players to be virtual terrorists and gain points by massacring civilians”.
If he succeeds in his appeal the game could be pulled from the shelves all together, something which has happened before. Atkinson also attacked the OFLC for letting games through the system which may be unsuitable for the 15+ rating, despite the numerous changes that are made to titles, including the recently launched Left 4 Dead 2 which was heavily edited for Australian release.
