EA Games has responded to the recent revelation of cop-killing in upcoming first-person shooter, Battlefield 3.

Earlier this week the ESRB rated the upcoming DICE title, uncovering the need to kill police officers in order to complete a mission.

“Players can also engage in hand-to-hand combat: repeatedly punching enemies in the face; stabbing soldiers to death with knives,” read the rating summary. “In one sequence, a restrained character's throat is slit (off-screen); in another, players shoot police officers to complete a mission objective.”

How has EA responded? Brilliantly.

"I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation,” reads a statement to Eurogamer. “For God's sake, there is a nuke in Paris! Millions of lives are at stake!!"

Battlefield 3 launches for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on October 25 in North America and October 28 across Europe.
