C&C 3 in Germany Will Be Censored

[Sonic 296]

According this report from Games Radar the German version of Command & Conquer 3 will be modified to so it complies with the very strict German rating laws.

 

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars has been toned down for the German audience, Electronic Arts revealed to us this morning.

 

To abide with the ultra-strict ratings laws, the Nod suicide bombers, erm, won't actually commit suicide. Instead the bomb-strapped Fanatic unit will apparently drop off his package and then scuttle off to safety, leaving the battlefield clear of limbs and nasty terrorist entrails. But that's ok.

 

C&C3's developers at EA assure us that the German censoring will have no affect on inter-version balancing and that the Fanatic switch is "purely an animation change."

A similar changed was made when C&C Generals was released. The GLA Terrorists were changed in to flaming exploding barrels on wheels. Want to see what these exploding barrels looked like? Click here. More of the news item from Games Radar is available here.

Hahahaha silly Germans and their silly laws... Oh well I hope they have fun with their "explosive experts"... lol.. I mean really who are they fooling you can't ignore current events...

Damn! Those Terrorist Barrels are very funny! They look like RC Cars with fuel tanks... Ahem. Anyway, as usual, Germany is too conservative and, well, freaked by very little things. Hey, at least it's not us!

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Well they have their unwarranted reasons for being afraid of kids who play video games.....

 

I suppose as long as it gets released, I mean Germany censors the games sure, but what about places like China that dont even allow Generals or RA2 in (legally) ?

[Sonic 296]

You all say its silly but that's the law.... in Germany anyway.

 

As as EA have said, its just an animation change, it won't effect the balance or how the game plays.

wargames without fire , exlposions and blood seems a bit wack.

A cool thing about the very first c&c was how the soldiers screamed when they died.

Thats precisely why Germany has those laws, they dont want their kids thinking that kind of thing is "cool" in games. Their point is valid, but.....well
