Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered: Mission "No Russian" causes trouble
As early as 2009, a mission in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 caused controversy. In the fourth mission of the single player campaign called " No Russian ", you play the character Joseph Allen, who, as an undercover agent of the CIA, takes part in a massacre at Moscow Airport . The leader of the terrorists is Vladimir Makarov and before the attack reminded his members with the phrase: " Remember, no Russian " that nobody should speak Russian to the group, so that they cannot be assigned by language. At the end of the mission , Makarov kills Agent Allen to make the Russian government believe that the attack was carried out by the United States.

Even if certain contents were changed in the German version, the USK Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered as well as its predecessor from 2009 classified USK 18 .
The USK loosened its guidelines regarding unconstitutional symbolism in 2018, but this does not apply to the extreme portrayal of cruelty that occurs in the "No Russian" mission .
Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is causing trouble in Russia
In Russia in particular, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is causing trouble because of the "No Russian" mission. CoD: MW2 Remastered is not available in the Russian PSN store from Sony because Sony Russia has opposed the release. However, the game should appear regular on Windows PC and Xbox One .
Even Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) caused problems in Russia because many players were dissatisfied with the representation of the Russian soldiers. Among other things, this led to Activision and Infinity Ward from California having to deal with the protests on their social media channels. Since CoD Modern Warfare 2 Remastered has no multiplayer, Infinity Ward will integrate the most popular maps from Modern Warfare 2 * into Modern Warfare (2019), as reported by ingame.de *. The title will soon usher in Season 3 *, in which the Maps Backlot and Village may already be playable.
