Battlefield 3 Will Not Allow To Kill Civilians

Battlefield 3 developers, DICE, have announced that this year’s game will not allow gamers to kill civilians.

Actually, Modern Warfare 2 created a lot of controversy due to the inclusion of the “No Russian” level. In this stage of the game, players were given the chance to kill members of the public in an airport.

Battlefield 3 Executive Producer Patrick Bach gave his opinion on the gamers when given moral decisions in games:

“If you put the player in front of a choice where they can do good things or bad things, they will do bad things, go dark side – because people think it’s cool to be naughty, they won’t be caught. In a game where it’s more authentic, when you have a gun in your hand and a child in front of you what would happen? Well the player would probably shoot that child.”

“We would be the ones to be blamed. We have to build our experiences so we don’t put the player in experiences where they can do bad things. Me personally, I’m trying to stay away from civilians in games like Battlefield because I think people will do bad. I don’t want to see videos on the internet where people shoot civilians. That’s something I will sanitise by removing that feature from the game.”

 It seems though that DICE want to play it safe and not turn people away from the title due to controversy with the added risk of the title being taken off shelves altogther.
