Everyone Knows About The Infamous Mission In Modern Warfare 2 "No Russian" Which You Can Skip Or Play. But Do You Know How Several Countries Have Taken Action Against The Display Of Such A Mission In A Video game.

Introduction

"No Russian" Is A Mission In Modern Warfare 2 Which Takes Place In Zakhaev International Airport In Moscow, Russia. You Are Playing As Joseph Allen Undercover As Alexei Borodin Working For The C.I.A. You Are Accompanied By A Ultranationalist Party Lead By Vladimir Makarov Who Is Assisted By Lev, Kiril, And Viktor Who Are Known Terrorists. You Start the Mission In An Elevator Where You Are Accompanied By Three Gunmen. Before The Elevator Doors Open Kiril (The Man With The Striker) Says Something In Russian If You Observe Makarov You Will See Him Grab Kiril By the Throat And Tell Him Not To Speak Russian So English Is Used. When The Elevator Door Opens All The Gunmen Walk Out To A Large Crowd Of Civilians As Soon As They Notice The Gunmen They AShot Down Without Warning. The Gunmen Continue To Stroll Through The Airport Without Any Rush As Nothing Has Happened. As You Reach The Middle Of The Airport There Will be Another Group Of Civilians Thinking This Is A Hostage Situation. They Are Then Taken Down. After Exiting The Airport You Are Meet By Officials Heavily Armed With Riot Shields And A Vast Variety Of Weapons. Kiril Attempts To Attack The Top Level Of Authorities But Is Shot And Killed. After The Retreat Of Riot Control Officers Only Makarov And Viktor Remain In Your Party. Makarov Later Leads You And Viktor To The Getaway Vehicle , An Ambulance. As Makarov Pulls You In The Ambulance He Shoots You With A Handgun (M9) So You're Body can Be found By the Russian Goverment. When The Russian Goverment Finds An American Body Among The Gunmen Makarov Will Not Be Suspected Instead He Has Planned For The U.S. To Take The Fall For The Slaughter Of Innocent Russians.

World Wide Reactions
U.K.
Infinity Ward Received Much Criticism From Many People Including Politicians, T.V.Show Hosts, And Religious Groups.Alex Goldberg, Chief Executive Of London Jewish Forum Says "Surely this puts the gamer in the position of being a terrorist." The Game Was Not Censored Harshly Just Highly Criticized.

Japan
Modern Warfare In Japan Was Modified So That Even If You Do Accept the Mission It's An Immediate Game Over If Any Civilians Are Killed. The Quote From the Begining Of The Level Was Inccorrectly Translated From "Remember, No Russian." To
"Kill Them, They're Russians".

Russia
The Russian version Of The Game Doesn't Include The Mission "No Russian". Heck If I Were Russia I Wouldn't Want My people Panicking About An Invasion Or War Because Of Some Game Made For Entertainment.

Germany
Germany's Version Has The Same Modification As The Japanese Version Except The Translation Error Says The Correct thing.


Conclusion
I Think That This Mission is Critical To The Understanding Of The Game And The Whole Point You're Traveling The World Like A Madmen Looking For Makarov.

I Agree. I Know Its a Game But Why Worry So Much As Too Remove One Level That Hardly Affects Anyone. If You Start To Cry Playing This Level Return The Game And Get Another Game Suitable For You like Viva Piñata.

Nice thread, can see alot of work has gone into this.

Like you say though without this mission, the whole plot of the game doesn't really make alot of sense? i personally don't see how a game can spark up this sort of reaction, it's a GAME.

whats wrong with playing as terrorists... i think that would make a pretty good game actualy lol if a whole game was you being a terrorist inside secret services or something =D

I think video game sensorship is abit much but if a country feels they dont want the public playing / seeing that sort of content I guess you cant really stop them =/

Is It Me Or Has What We See As Violence Changed Alot Over The Years. First It Was Some Guy With A Gun Shooting At A Rabbit, Bugs Bunny. Now It's About A Sponge Playing With His Seemingly Challenged Friend. Did You Know Donald Duck Was Removed From Children's Television Because He Isn't Wearing Pants.
