The sequel to a popular video game has been modified so it can be sold in Australia.
Left 4 Dead 2 has been given an MA 15+ rating after it was refused classification in September.
According to the classification board report, the modified version removes considerable amounts of gore from gameplay.
“The board notes that the game no longer contains depictions of decapitation, dismemberment, wound detail or piles of dead bodies lying about the environment,” the report said.
“No wound detail is shown and the implicitly dead bodies and blood splatter disappear as they touch the ground.”
The report confirmed that melee weapons, such as “axes, crowbars and chainsaws” were still in the game.
Electronic Arts also submitted the original version of the game to the Classifications Review Board, which is scheduled for consideration on October 22, 2009.
The original version of the game was refused classification because it contained "realistic, frenetic and unrelenting violence".
Distributor Electronic Arts spokesperson Cameron Jenkins said the company still hoped the original version of the game would receive a classification:
“We are waiting until we get the results back from the resubmitted full version, just in case it gets classified after working with the OFLC, we would much prefer to release that one,” he said.
According to gaming blog Kotaku, Valve submitted the modified version to ensure the game could be released in November and that Australians would receive a free update to the edited version if the original game was classified.

Come on guys, it is obvious that our governments know whats best for us. You cant seriously believe we should be allowed to decide for ourselves what the watch, read, eat etc. Can you imagine what would happen if we were allowed to just run wild with freedom like that? I think it is best we just do what our dear leaders tell us.
Kind of hard to call that one a win for you guys since the game will be castrated all to hell.
With that in mind keep an eye out next year for GTA: nice city ware you get to play a doctor at a drug rehab center that spends his free time helping hookers get there life together and off the streets.
Well you could always import if you wanted the massive amounts of blood and guts (like I do). _________________________________________________________

Well I know you can get them off ebay really easily. Just finding a person that will ship to you might be a problem. _________________________________________________________
