Get over it.

I do want to play a game where you slaughter Americans, though technically you would be the bad guys.



freedom fighter = terrorist

nobody b%^#hs when the arabs are terrorists in every other movie/video game... geez.. people need to get over themselves

I knew this game game would be banned somewhere because of that Mission.



Oh well, it's not like IW is sitting on $301 million+ right now, no big deal if Russia misses out... =P

Russia can actual take out USA

People have a complete wrong image from Russia. They still think everything is communistic there. They think they are underdeveloped, uneducated and oppressed.



That's just wrong. Russia may have their problems, Putin to name one, but it certainly developed a lot since the cold war. People are acutally pretty capitalistic now. Have you seem the luxury hotels and the clubs?

This is stupid. It's just a damn game and war is supposed to be this violent.



C'mon that's an awesome mission.

It's not like it's there just to portray Russia as some evil country. It's there because it's part of the story. It's not bad taste, although I'm sure IW knew it was going to be very controversial.

I don't find much in games unacceptable (except everything in Manhunt 2) but this level was unnecessary. I can't figure how else they could've done it tho, since it is pretty important for the story, it basically sets up the entire Russian invasion

if there was ever a video game about bin laden killing *****ing america,you would all be pissed and cry like little *****es as you always do.dont say get o ver it while your butt still hurts from the 9/11 attack lmao.

Silver-Tiger, do you at all see the irony in your statement? --This is an article about *the Russian Government* banning a game and **pulling the games from store shelves** because of the way that the Russians are portrayed in the game. Doh!! (It's not even for a moralistic reason.) Heck, I think it serves Infinity Ward right for putting something that controversially stupid in such a mass-market game (playing the role of the bad guys and shooting innocents). But, it's rather humorous to hear you make a statement about 'how far Russia has come', when the article is about their blatant, unabashed censorship over 'how they are depicted'. While I in no way condone the 'superior attitude' of most Americans, and the way our own culture has leaned toward communistic or socialistic principles (and the fallacy of 'true freedom'), *this* was not the article to say 'Russia's come a long way' with.

They prob should have done it as a cutscene tho, or at least not had the level drag on as long as it did.



The level does present an interesting scenario tho, do you shoot the civilians to keep up appearances or not shoot the civilians? I chose not to

they still have problems? Oh well. Silver was answering and clearing up a misconception about Russia's PEOPLE that many people have. And he even said that Russia still has problems.



I think this was a perfect article to say "they've come a long way" while still agreeing they have further to go (at least by our standards).

Once again we have lots of comments from people who seem to think that unless "there" is just like the good ole USofA then it must be a backward, barbaric state.

The russian government is just like the US one, democratically elected, and so when a decision is made to censor a game due to an extremely insulting part of a game, what's your problem?

I mean, if a russian dev produced a game, showing Americans to be gun toting, rascist scum, who brutalise minorities and torture enemies of the state, the dev would be told "take it out" before publishing it, for fear of just the type of reaction the Russians had, or perhaps, more likely the reaction of all of the big chains in the US simply deciding to do the censorship for the government, just like they did with Manhunt 2.

No, the Russians were quite right to react the way they did if they felt aggrieved, and now IW are free to submit an altered version to the Russian censor, so no one is talking a massive crackdown on violent games.



Try and keep a little perspective here, and watch a little less Fox News, try BBC World Service instead!

Yeah, that would be true for the majority of people,I myself wouldn't care. personally I would find it funny as hell considering that a vast majority of americans are "gun toting, rascist scum, who brutalise minorities and torture enemies of the state", to the guy above that posted free speech, free speech only exists when you talking to someone that isn't important, if that person is important you become a potential threat, and that right will be taken away.

most of the kids here only speak about what ever pleasures them ignoring how it will and can effect anyone or country........if it affends someone something has triggered it...........most duma55 don't understand that..........................this is a war game of course it will be controversal, look at LittlebigPlanet anything more cute, cuddly than that can only be Tomagachi and it still had to remove out a song there as it may affend muslins

Russians are not that bad as you think. Our lives gets much closer to europe level (lived in europe, can compare). Sadly, the social infrastructure lacks a bit, but it's much better than 5 years ago.



For the question that we can't afford the game:

We can afford the game=) Most of the licensed PC games in russia costs around 10-15$, and the xbox version ~30$=) And if you want a pirated copy of the game - you can download it in less than 24 hours or buy in nearby store for 3-5$ (xbox - 10$). In russia piracy is a fact=( Even Windows Vista and XP without a juwel case costs 1$.



People here are not weapon maniacs. But they 'love' USA, like the USA 'loves' us. It's because mass media... A truly fearfull weapon... So don't listen to the news, and read forum posts)
