Call Of Duty Black Ops Game Banned in United Arab Emirates

Department of Economic Development in Umm Al Quwain in the course of its inspection of local store confiscated computer games containing insults to the Quran, azan.kz. news agency reports

For example, a shooter game called «Call of Duty: Black Ops» contains a level where you have to pass through the library shooting at the shelves of books that include few Qurans. Also in one of the stages - Favela - right in the toilet a picture is hanged with an inscription in Arabic "Allah is Beautiful and Loves beauty."

Lucky Arabs...

I kid, I kid... I liked BlOps 2. I'm just glad to live in a country where things like this shouldn't happen... and if they do, we will take it to the Supreme Court.

I thought it said COD was banned in the US for a minute. Thanks for getting my hopes up. I was about to throw a freakin party.

First Amendment says NOPE!

pissed9994414d ago

Too bad it's not a world wide ban. Gaming would be signifcantly improved suckers.

GamerzElite4414d ago

Wrong Article, I found so many UAE Players in lobby a couple of minute ago.

TheGrimOfDeath4414d ago

Do understand that many people can get the game secretly and have already gotten the game.

Hell I got Saints Row The Third when it was banned in Saudi Arabia, It was the only copy left in the whole store.

The article is a little misinformed.

"Favela - right in the toilet a picture is hanged with an inscription in Arabic "Allah is Beautiful and Loves beauty."

Favela is in MW2 and they patched it a long time ago.

Donnieboi4413d ago

This article also speaks of the library full of Quran's in Black Ops, hence the title says Black ops. The part about mw2 was just a recap about how mw2 was also banned some time before this game too. Read before u post.

They talk about Black Ops then about Favela like they are in the same game. That's why they were misinformed. Follow your own advice and read before you post.

I keep hearing the same thing ever time a new FPS about to drop Cod Killer lol and then nothing happens.

The Finals
Xdeviant( so many thought this game was going to steal COD thunder, cancelled in a year of release lol.)

Battlefield was the closer to do it and just when they were gaining ground with BF3 and 4. They switched up their formula.

I can’t say for everyone but me and my friends but we definitely switched over during BF3-4 era.
I would love for them to go back like that.

BF3 campaign was dope asf to

LordoftheCritics69d ago

BF3 is the greatest battlefield game ever made and probably the best MP shooter I have ever played.

This was the turning point where COD was beginning to lose ground and then EA fumbled BF4 launch.

Fumbling continues till today.

Exactly, but none of them are Battlefield. Fans like me are so tired of these weird skins and random crossovers in CoD, not to mention all the bugs and server issues. So if a mil-sim like BF drops, we're going that way.

Atp cod is killing itself ea can provide a finisher man

The only thing that can kill Call of Duty is Call of Duty 👍

XiNatsuDragnel69d ago

I agree 100% cod suits imo keeping killing cod imo

Putte68d ago

And that is what is happening. That's what all this is about.

Abear2168d ago

Battle pass and constantly asking for money between every match is insanity

MetroidFREAK2169d ago

As long as it doesn't stoop so low to include goofy, dumb ass skins... I'll be willing to give it a chance. Even after the disaster of 2042

He's right. The time is now. There has never been a better time to kill of call of duty. The game is in shambles. But of course this new Battlefield needs to at least be back to it's former self and then and some smoother gameplay and the battle royale needs to be Fresh and Fun. But the time is absolutely right right now.
