Davis Family Vacation is a brief sequence in Modern Warfare 3 that depicts the American Davis family on holiday in London, including their daughter who is extremely excited about seeing Big Ben.

Unfortunately for them, a truck parked on the corner soon enough explodes, killing the trio in one of the series' most shocking and controversial moments to date.

Opinions were heavily divided, with some feeling that Infinity Ward were trying too hard to court controversy and top the shocking violence of Modern Warfare 2, especially by placing a cute young child in the middle of the mayhem.

There's a fine line between visceral and exploitative, and some feel that this scene took things a little too far.
