Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s ‘No Russian’ Mission Divided Infinity Ward



?No Russian? is perhaps one of the most controversial moments in gaming, a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mission where players were tasked with playing as an undercover U.S. agent who?s forced to participate in a mass shooting at an airport alongside a group of terrorists. The mission essentially sets the stage for the events that follow in the rest of the game as well as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. In an interview with Game Informer, Infinity Ward art lead Joel Emslie opened up about divisions that formed within in the studio due to ?No Russian.?
