SLIGHT SPOILERS






Call of Duty: Black Ops will be censored in Germany, reports suggest.

The territory - which has a reputation for sensitivity over violence in games - was widely expected to be the next to clamp down after was detailed last month.

Here's the list of no no's in Germany:

* A scene where an enemy is shot in slow motion with copious amounts of gore has been toned down.
* A torture scene involving a prisoner has been completely eliminated from the German version.
* The song Sympathy for the Devil by Mick Jagger has been removed.
* No explosions that lead to limb loss.
* Removal of what Germany deems 'anti-constitutional symbols'.

I'm assuming the Stones song was removed cos of the lines about the Blitzkrieg etc, with the 'anti-constitutional symbols' presumably also falling under Germany's effective 'Don't mention the war' legislation :|
