Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - "No Russian" mission Video

What do you think of the “No Russian” video? Have you seen it yet? There’s a link to it at the bottom of the page, just in case you’re interested. So what happens in it? Oh, nothing much. You play a CIA agent infiltrating a Russian terrorist group and then unload on unsuspecting civilians waiting in an airport. Nothing big really.
There hasn’t been too much backlash against the game or its content, which I find strange and surprising. You’d think Bill O’Reilly would be doing a piece about how it’s Un-American or something on Fox News. Maybe we’re finally entering an age where video games can are seen as something different than a kids only medium. Far too many books and movies have had similar scenes play out in them and no one says a word, but when something that crosses the line is present in a video game, well you know what happens.
It’s understandable though; Video games since their inception have attracted the youth, and so there’s no wonder why parents have always been a bit weary of what’s in them. The truth of the matter is that Rated M games are not intended for people under 17 in the USA, and these rules need be respected by the parents themselves.
Don’t like something in a game? Well, then don’t buy it for your children.
Believe it or not the gamers of decades past have indeed grown up, but no where did it say that had to stop playing games. COD:Modern Warfare 2 is for those players. A game with a message about the atrocities of war, but with gameplay that makes it a very enjoyable experience - for those of proper age.
