DICE on why you can’t shoot civilians in Battlefield 3: “people will do bad”

I also think they just trying to avoid the bad PR that MW2 got, although that didn't seem to hurt their sales too much.

These days it seems like everyone is just taking the safe route, what next, replace all the guns with water pistols so that no one has to die.

:P can you imagine?

"Well, you see paintball causes some serious injuries, including bruises and can sometimes even draw blood. So we have decided that Office Paintball 2 will have harmless laser guns as opposed to actual Paintball guns which can be dangerous. The in game characters will also be seen wearing glasses so that the lasers cannot damage their eyes. This is all in an effort to promote safety for gamers and safety in the workplace."
