Swastikas removed from Call of Duty: Black Ops in Japan |
Listed in: Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: call of duty: black ops, Japan, Square Enix
In Japan, Call of Duty: Black Ops will carry a CERO Z rating, which is the equivalent of the ESRB's Adults Only. But in spite of that, the game will still carry a number of changes and toned-down content from the version coming to the US. One of these changes will be the removal of the swastikas.
The swastikas, or "manji" as they're referred to in Japan, symbolize Buddhist temples in maps and such. These are different and have absolutely nothing to do with the Nazi swastika, but the symbols will be removed all the same to avoid any confusion. These will be replaced with the Iron Cross.
The change will be implemented in the dubbed home console versions as well as the subbed PC version, but not the subbed home console versions.

especially in japan, they were hitlers alliance
and were doing the same things nazis were
they prolly just hoping kids nowadays dont got the education that teaches them that.
its history and cant be changed
japan chose it for themselves, and dont want to be associated only because they were on the loosing side
but dont worry people, it'll be removed here in the u.s. as well,. you can count on it

FOR USA, good job for tone down. It is not necessarily for Hitler in the game.. sickening!

Besides we love violence, look at God of War. No controversy here. We get up in arms about religion and sex, too much so in my opinion.
But in Japan it's a different issue. Buddhists aren't just about religion in Japan. They represent history to them. And they are very proud and protective of history. Add to that they sides with the Nazi's in WW2, it's also a symbol of shame.

i think imo your a immature fool who shouldnt even be playing a game like this because your the very kind of person who would blame a game like this for your stupidity
example would be
you may decide to shoot someone one day - your excuse...."violent video games"

unfortunately im forced to agree with you
but you need to understand, its not JUST jews, its F@GS,and anyone who supports both/either F@GS & JEWS

did we REALLY save it?
look around you
our country is ran by Puss13s & F@gs
the world hates us
and btw, you make it sound like it was over in 24hrs or something. hitler almost took the world over, look how much it took to take him down and the cost
if it went the other way, we wouldnt have to deal with the sh!t we do now

No America saved the world by trying to save it's own ass. If Hitler won this world would have been in chaos to this day. He would have probably betrayed the Japanese. People would be living in constant fear.
Back to topic...the Japanese should realize that the was is over and we should just get on with our lives.

It's a video game for fuck sake, stop censoring it!
It doesn't reflect on real life you morons.
If you're willing to remove Swastikas symbol from Black Ops then you got a big ass list in front of ya!
Lame, completely lame! Thank god I don't live in Japan.

id have to agree with ya, i mean of ALL the sh!t in the world to think and worry about, this is top of the list.....

I don't see anything wrong with have swastikas in video games. Its part of history, you cant erase it. If you choose to censor that type of thing, its like dick slapping everyone who fought in WWII against the Natzis. Plus in every WWII video game we always kick Natzi ass. God Bless America.
