EA defends cop killing in Battlefield 3

EA defends cop killing in Battlefield 3

EA has issued a statement in regards to an objective in Battlefield 3 that requires players to shoot police. Last week the ESRB rated EA's upcoming shooter Battlefield 3 with an unsurprising “Mature” rating. The board noted realistic gunfire, splashes of blood, stabbing soldiers to death with knives, and even a sequence where a restrained character's throat is slit off-screen as a cause for the rating. No real big surprise, honestly.
But then the ESRB also revealed a mission objective to be completed that now has EA explaining itself: shooting police officers.
