Pakistan Bans 'Black Ops II,' 'Warfighter' for Portraying Country as Terrorist Haven

Pakistan has banned both Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Medal of Honor: Warfighter for their reported portrayal of the south Asian country as a haven for terrorists.

Pakistani shop owners have complained that the games suggest the country's Inter-Services Intelligence agency supports Al Qaeda.

"The problem is that there are things that are against Pakistan and they have included criticism of our army," said Saleem Memon, president of All Pakistan CD, DVD, Audio Cassette Traders and Manufacturers Association. "They show the country in a very poor light."

Have you played either of these games? Do you think they portray Pakistan as a terrorist haven? Tell us in the comments below.
