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

I don't agree with it. I agree with Sean's comment. Its just a game. I watched The Road Runner show as a kid, you don't see me riding a rocket off of a cliff do ya?
On the other hand it might have hit a little close to home in the aspect of recent events within the last few years.

Well
At the start you can skip levels.
If they didn't want that level there, you choose that option.
Simples?
