Modern Warfare 2 Not Recalled In Russia After All

Posted by Soulskill on from the it's-the-thought-that-counts dept.

thief21 writes "After claims that console versions Modern Warfare 2 had been recalled in Russia due to complaints from politicians and the gaming public over the infamous airport slaughter scene, it turns out the stories were completely untrue. Activision never released a console version of the game in Russia." Instead, they simply edited the notorious scene out of the PC version. They did this of their own volition, since Russia doesn't have a formal ratings committee.

    who have no lives and love to speculate about games and stir the controversy shit pot before even confirming any facts.

    Self-censorship is still censorship, the difference is that this happens also here in the west, it s hard for us to be righteous on these grounds.

    I doubt there'd be much impact. I'm sure Americans are used to the idea of their people gunning each other down all the time by now.... Columbine, Virginia Tech, Fort Bragg, you get the idea.

    So is Slashdot going to be publishing corrections now? I don't really get the point ... everyone knows Slashdot can't get jack fucking shit right. Dumbasses. And you're an idiot if you come here for news rather than entertainment. As a patent attorney, I only come here to look at how ignorant you all are on patents AND the technology you purport to be experts in. Ha Ha.
