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.

We don't hate the Russians. We are actually pretty cool with the Russians for now. This is kind of like a Russian game dev company making a game resembling the acts of 911 but you get to be the plane highjackers. Would you like that game... wait, let me rephrase that; do you think the government of the victims families would want that game allowed in America or even at all? I know that one actually happened and the other is fictional but its the SAME exact situation. This is a slap to their face and their people, in their eyes.

@Killjoy, actually if they made a game about shooting my neighbors, I would laugh. My neighbors are disgusting excuses of people.

Sorry Nash i wasnt thinking about that!

I just thought they should have a choice.

No, it is their governments choice whether to let them play it. The government are clearly offended and will claim they are doing it in their countries best interest.



The truth of the matter is it is politically motivated, Russia has one of the highest country population counts in the world and they hate america, therefore they ban popular american things so that the American economy will not be making money from Russians, they wasnt to keep their money to themselves rather than let americans have it

Nasha, because of those two games being banned they probs hate their own government! Isnt it their choice to play it though?

TTG_NasherPosted:

It wouldn't matter if we were annoyed, it would matter if the govenment were annoyed. And i think they are rightfully, but this means 2 call of duty games are now banned in russia.

I wouldnt Killjoy because i am aware its just a game,just a bit of fun and shooting helpless people brings joy to the faces of everyone everywhere.
