Germany's ratings rules are insane anyway. Luckily these days, products are individually rated in each country but in the past, a single European rating was given and it was always the Germans who insisted on stupid changes. In Soul Blade, Li Long has a three point staff rather than nunchuka because of the Germans and when the Gun-con was released, Namco had to paint them blue and orange over here because the Germans were worried kids might try to commit armed robbery with them.

If you look back over the pre-release Halo 2 updates, there's one where Franky goes to the German censors and then to ours here in the UK and whereas we will pass just about anything, they struggled to get Halo 2 rated in Germany.

Looking at the BBFC website (The English classification board), the only way to get your product an 18 rating these days is to have gratuitous, glorifed violence with no comeback, making drug use look fun or violent rape scenes and unlike America, getting an 18 rating for a film or game generally makes it more popular here whereas I understand that over there, an M rating tends to kill things off.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

One of the things that pissed me off most about GRAW was the sticking to cover nonsense. It's just one more thing to think about when you get unexpectedly out-flanked.

It's tricky for games to get a decent balance of realism and arcade and brave for one to attempt to fall between the two. Battlefield 2 MC does it ok but is far more arcade than realism. I think I'll withold judgement on this until I've played a demo myself. Some things you just can't tell from watching someone else play something.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
