While Activision and Infinity Ward are celebrating record sales for COD: Modern Warfare 2. It seems Russia is upset about the much talked about Airport level. They also think the game shows a total disrespect for all Russians. They have banned the game and recalled all copies. Infinity Ward has offered to offer a patch that would eliminate that mission Russia is still not happy. Even the gamers in Russia are complaining about the way their fellow countrymen are betrayed in the blockbuster game. While I will admit the Airport scene is a bit disturbing surely Russia and gamers there knew the story line. Asking for the scene to be patched is reasonable but banning the game is a bit much. It’s not like the first MW was any easier on the story line. Have a comment about this please post it.
