apparently Call of Duty is banned in Germany, according to my friend. does anyone know if this is true? I've never met a German on xbox live playing call of duty so it might be.

no, nazi symbolism is though so all that is replaced by generic symbols in all games

Not sure if CoD games have been banned.
Commandos Behind Enemy Lines was banned for
Why? Germany enforces extremely strict censorship on videogames, and as such game publishers will often do a special Teutonic version to pacify the examiners. An oft-quoted example is the use of green blood, which marks the character being killed as an "alien," thus making it more acceptable. Commandos was banned on a more obvious technicality: an issue with missions that involve allied soldiers going on missions to kill Nazis, and use of the swastika.
If we are going to be damned lets be damned for what we really are.

I have no idea why that would be, but it's stupid.

no it isn't, but it is censored. The nazi zombie mode in WaW isn't in the German version.

It's still possible to import banned games from other sources.
or torrent and use a legit CD key, which is how some people i know got round the censor.
