Rumor: MW2 recalled in Russia due to 'No Russian' scene

4.4

The console version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has allegedly been recalled in Russia due to the controversial "No Russian" scene. Hellforge's translation of a Russian report claims that a censored console version will be released later this month in the region, and that an official patch removing the scene from PC and Steam versions is en route. It would seem that the choice of killing innocent Russian civilians in the scene isn't one that the government would like to leave up to players.
To make sure this report stays as "fair and balanced" as possible, we've contacted Activision and Infinity Ward for comment. Any Russia-based readers that can shed a little bit more light on the situation should feel free to contact us.

Mate,you do realise you arent helping him and Makarov knows you are working undercover right?

I think they put this in modern warfare2 to show how bad macarov really is.

because at the end he kills you after you helped him. just guessing.

These so called "Russians" are stupid. You are given the choice to skip it. It is just terrorizing a Russian Airport by Russian Ultra nationalist who act like americans. But no. Russia is just like god damn china these days. And since when is killing pixels a "Bad" thing?

This is crap that Russia recalled it. It gives you the option to skip it. They were not saying that Russia as a public was bad, but they were saying that terrorist as a general were bad.
