(See the scene below, but a warning: It's a gruesome affair.) You see, back when "Modern Warfare 2" was about to launch in 2009, a brouhaha erupted over a level in the game called "No Russian." In that level, players were given the option to shoot innocent civilians during a bloody massacre in a Russian airport. Some have also expressed skepticism about the suspicious timing of this supposed leak.īut when it comes to big games and big violence, controversy is rarely far behind. So far, video game sites have picked up on and reported that the footage exists while wondering if this will be the sequel to the big "No Russian" controversy of '09. Truth be told, it doesn't appear that a huge outcry has erupted. But for the time being, you can see a copy of it here: The video has appeared on and off again on YouTube with the game's publisher - Activision - apparently demanding its removal. The footage reveals a short scene in which a young girl and her mother are blown up by a terrorist's bomb right in front of the father's eyes. You see, over the past weekend, a leaked video reportedly showing disturbing footage from the highly anticipated "Modern Warfare 3" game began making the Internet rounds.
Though, perhaps at this point it would be more surprising if a "Modern Warfare" game launched without some sort of controversy.
So the new "Modern Warfare" game is about to launch (Tuesday, in fact) and - surprise! - it looks like a controversy could be brewing.
