Atkinson to appeal Modern Warfare 2 rating

Interviewed a few days ago on the ABC’s Radio National, Atkinson has reportedly stated he will be appealing the MA15+ rating given to Modern Warfare 2.  The interview itself states the game is about the Russian airport massacre level involving the killing of civilians, which is the main part of his argument against the game and its one that has been overly sensationalised in the mainstream media as well.

At the moment there aren’t any further details about whether he is going to follow through on his threat, or whether its just more of his rhetoric which is quite rife throughout the interview if you listen to the whole thing.

But given the game has already been released, its probably a bit too late now anyway, in that it’d be like closing the proverbial gate after the horse has already bolted given the number of copies of the game that have no doubt been sold in Australia already.
