This is the mission that caused plenty of controversy back in 2009, when Modern Warfare 2 was released. If by some chance you don’t know about it, “No Russian” is the name of a mission that essentially has you take control of Russian terrorists, as you gun down an airport full of unarmed civilians. Of course, seeing this in a cutscene wouldn’t be all that shocking. However, actually giving the player control and having them pull the trigger themselves added some serious emotional weight.
The reason we feel Call of Duty went too far here is due to the actual content (because it is optional and can’t be skipped altogether) and because it was completely unnecessary. We feel they really took it way too far.
