OFLC Left 4 Dead 2 Rating - Image 1 


That image you see above is Australia's OFLC's webpage for Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360, PC). That "RC" Classification you see right there stands for "Refused Classification." That's right, the Left 4 Dead 2 zombies aren't making their way to Australia.

So what now? EA Australia has released an official statement, saying, "[We] are still working through the submission process with OFLC and want to explore all opportunities before making any comment."

The original Left 4 Dead title was rated MA 15+ by the Board. This comes as yet another challenge for the teams behind the sequel as initially, a boycott was organized by fans of the original title as a protest against Valve for putting out another full-fledged game instead of coming out with the promised DLCs for L4D1 (Xbox 360 and PC).

I wish the world would stop banning things, in regards to entertainment (I don't mean real life gun entertainment!! ).. It's up to an individual person, guardian or authority figure to determine what they or the people they watch over play. By authority figure I mean a teacher saying "No GTA in class", not a board saying "No L4D in Australia".. It's sort of like abortion.. People are trying to make decisions based on their own personal morals..
