MW2 Banned in Russia

Quote :

As everybody knows by now, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 includes an incredibly controversial level set in a Russian airport that has generated much discussion. The level has proven to be so inflammatory that the real-life Russia has acted, recalling all copies of the game from stores and effectively banning the title.

Infinity Ward has opted to patch the level out entirely for Russian consumers, and an edited version of the game is expected to be re-released in less than a month, pending government approval. Even that may not pass, however, considering the entire game is based around a war between the US and Russian forces.

Russian gamers are apparently very unhappy with the game's content. One Web site, GotPS3, railed against Infinity Ward for catering to an American audience and ignoring the sensitivities of other cultures. The site believes that Infinity Ward portrays the Russians as terrorists.

This is seriously quite pathetic. I am sure Russians would have had no problem if it was another country involved in the game's plot, like Germany, which has of course been the antagonist in most Call of Duty games. Anybody who pays attention to MW2's plot will understand why Russia is at war with the US, and know that the Russians aren't being depicted solely as bad guys.

But still, these are videogames, right? No need to actually research and contextualize those at all, not when there are kneejerk reactions to be had.

thats not surprising, considering you walk into a russian airport supposedly being a russian terrorist and blatantly open fire on russian civilians. i'm sure if russia made a game where you were a terrorist and opened fire in an american airport, the same kind of reaction would be seen.

There might be reaction, but the game would still be sold here.

Lol one day russia is just going to say fuck it and start lauching skuds at us.

We keep making these games where were fighting russia and there just gonna be like fuck it.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahah the russians, never fail to disappoint.

Russia cant afford to fight.

you've gotta watch the whole thing.

During the cold war the KGB programmed some people become sleeper agents so that when the correct code was use they would complete soviet objectives.
The code was "That large Italian family at the other table is quiet." Because nobody would ever say that

Mayor west was a sleeper agent and went to russia and set off a nuke.

Chevy chase and some other 80s movie guy were in it too.

FUNNY schust.



Oh and newsflash swk THIS ISN'T THE 60'S AND EVEN IF IT WAS NONE OF YOU WOULD BE ALIVE.

You also said you would blow russian heads off.

Florida would be one of the easier states to occupy because of all the fuckin old people.

The ONLY reason i would join the military is if we were being invaded on our own turf. No reason to go fight someone else's war when i dont even know them or their cause. But i wouldn't be caught dead fight next to drunk 15 year old swk with a sniper rifle in his hand. He would drink 2 beers and fall off the roof. Haha.
