Battlefield 3 Banned In Iran

Posted by Soulskill on from the par-for-the-course dept.

dotarray writes "Iranian gamers hoping to get their hands on Battlefield 3 will be sorely disappointed, as the country has officially banned EA's latest shooter. Why? The game features an American war force launching an assault on Iranian capital city Tehran."

    After seeing Afghanistan and Iraq, my hopes for peace kinda go down the drain.

    Iran is not helping by assuming a militarized stance; the one viable exit IMHO is to enforce ties with more neutral countries like France/Germany and hope to get EU support to a very open administration -- with permanent onlookers -- so as to prevent any US action. Not that the US is known to wait to decide things with just diplomatic conversations... after all, Obama couldn't really produce the changes needed to make the world a better place. He's being dragged along the trail the Republicans created...

    It all makes China in Tibet look really like a good thing by comparison, and Putin a very reasonable guy.

    I can only feel sorry about the heated interests which use patriotism like a tool for domination, against the very owners of the countries... the citizens. Very sad.
