Every copy of the console version of Modern Warfare 2 has been recalled from stores in Russia due to the content of the "No Russian" mission, better known as the controversial airport massacre level. Likewise, Infinity Ward has released an official patch for the PC and Steam versions of Modern Warfare 2, entirely removing the mission from the game.



Pending validation from the Russian government, the censored console versions of the game are expected to be released within less than a month, with the mission removed.

Russia = not happy apparently.

According to a post on gaming blog Hellforge , Infinity Ward's new shooter Modern Warfare 2 has been recalled in Russia on the grounds of objectional content. The "No Russian" mission during the single-player campaign has gained notoriety in the media for being excessively violent and controversial, and was apparently the impetus for the recall.A Russian-based PS3 site called GotPS3 has spoken out against the plotline, criticizing the game for depicting Russians as terrorists.Uh-oh. I'll tread a little carefully here... A game like Modern Warfare 2 is a piece of fiction, and while it uses real-life references to advance its plot, it remains just that -- a piece of fiction. Didn't anyone in Russia know that the game featured a war between two nations? Do you think it's over-the-top to remove the airport scene from the game over there? It's a powerful experience to be sure...
