COD:Modern Battlefield 2

That was dumb.

Do you get to shoot a thousand Brazilians though?

A Bazillion Brazilians.  But they pop out of the slums like monkeys in trees.  I kept wondering, why the fuck am I here?  Why are these people attacking me?  I thought similar things about the Oil rig mission (where you get swarmed by Russians in the smoke).  We can't blow up this Russian oil rig because the Russians have take the Russian workers hostage.  Oh, go ahead and kill everyone in the airport and Nuke the East Coast.  Just don't kill those 7 hostages.

I had to check the wikipedia entry on the plot as well.  The general turning on you seems entirely random ( I thought it might be because Price nuked Washington).  You don't even get to kill the Bad Russian guy!

Hmmm, kill a bunch of eggplants.

My opinion of the game went up because of that.  If it causes emo kids to hurt themselves, I'm all for it.

And where did the Russian guy come from that helps you in the end??

You rescue him in the first game.  So I suppose he's just very grateful.  Also useful what with his two private helicopters and personal C-130.

Modern Warfare 2 recalled and banned in Russia pending a new censored version

http://hellforge.gameriot.com/blogs/Hellforge/Console-Versions-of-Modern-Warfare-2-Banned-in-Russia

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.

The game's content has raised the ire of the Russian gaming public as well as a number of politicians who object to its portrayal of Russia's armed forces as terrorists who invade the United States and subsequently erect statues of dead terrorists in Washington D.C.

Russian gaming website GotPS3 voiced their anger over the game's storyline, which they criticized as catering to a primarily American audience with total disregard towards other cultures, especially the Russians, whom the game depicts as terrorists.

As it is, Russian gamers who wish to play the game will have to choose from purchasing the gutted Steam version, ordering the US/EU version of Modern Warfare 2 from eBay, or waiting for an indefinite period of time for the censored version to be released, pending validation. 

Thanks, Warrax, for providing a Russian source.

if they think Russian gamers are going to wait to use those methods of getting the game

I haven't tried a multi-player FPS in a while and I admit it is kinda fun.

I don't see the problem here.

You mean Activision published a game for Americans only? They barely publish games for gamers nowadays.

Okay, I remember that now.

The multiplayer has an arcade-like quality, hence the hook.

BACKSTABBER +5000!!!! LEVEL UP
EAGLE EYE +1000!!!! LEVEL UP
BEEF STROKER +2000!!!! LEVEL UP
PILLOW BITER +50000000!!!! LEVEL UP

Well, I like it.
It will hold me over until BF1943 is released.

I got the game today, and just when it was about to get interesting, it crashes while loading the airport mission.  Target must've gotten the cut-rate Russian versions.  This is the second COD game in a row that crashes on its third mission load, I'd be damned if I bought another turd from them ever again.  I'll now read up on Target's software return policy.

[DGuller]

Reading up done.  Fuck them and their piece of shit games.

[Habbaku]

Why not just e-mail the company and ask for a replacement?

Or, better yet, pirate it without feeling any bad feelings?  Tamas can help you.
