Through Eurogamer , the executive producer Patrick Bach said that DICE Battlefield 3 players will not be allowed to kill civilians in the present levels of the game. Although there are no explicit references were made by Bach, the reasons are likely to be formed which would be in the negative opinion by the media, as happened with the case of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, to the recent massacre took place in Norway which killed at the hands of a young man more than 70 people.

Bach has been a picture of the gaming community by declaring: "If you put the player in front of a choice in which you can do both good and bad deeds, they will take the second road because people think it is good to be bad. I'm not going to see movies on the internet of people who shoot civilians and to prevent it completely will remove this feature from the game. " And if the player were to compare a child soldier in this case, imagining a more realistic war situation, Bach has no doubts: "probably the same player shoot that kid."

Really war FPS players would be able to do so if placed in an absurd situation, which however could not take place in video games by rating agencies, such as that described by DICE?
