Make sure to follow and subscribe to Analytic Dreams video podcast for the video element along with this audio, because I'm about to play the gameplay reveal trailer for Modern Warfare 3. All right, we're going to pause it right there because we definitely not getting a DMCA strike. So anyways, I have a question. There's a specific mission that has been making the rounds because people think that Call of Duty is going to remaster this mission for from the 2009 game right but they've been promoting modern warfare three but this upcoming mission is from modern warfare too so excuse me for my ignorance but i am beyond confused because apparently this upcoming game would not include the no russian no

no Russian mission from the 2009 game. If you want to know why, just know it's one of the most egregious missions ever implemented into a video game. And think about all the crazy video games that's been created. It's top two and not two when it comes to the most offensive mission. As it was very controversial, not back in today's age, it wouldn't even. Call of Duty may have got canceled. That may have been the first time we actually seen something get canceled as big as Call of Duty.

Back in 2009, I'm not saying they didn't care, but it wasn't as serious, right? But to describe it for you, no Russian was a mission in Modern Warfare 2 requiring players to participate in a mass shooting at an airport in Moscow. That's why I say that's one of the most offensive missions ever created in the video game, right? the game director of Infinity Ward and the developer behind the mission stated that they are deliberate about what content they include and that if something edgy serves the story that they may include it but somebody else spoke up kind of countering that point by saying that the game does match the intensity of no Russian in terms of what they are trying to achieve but it will not include a mission similar to the controversial no-russian mission now what does that

mean i have no idea i ain't gonna lie we just got to see it to believe it because at this point so many conflicting reports developers coming out saying this developers coming out saying that i mean the game is set to release uh october 28th 2022 for all the platforms uh current gen and last gen but they did say there is no mission like like no russian in the game and that the team did not actively such a mission but only included content that served the story so we're going to have to see what that means because i feel like they're just talking in circles and giving us PR statements at this point because even looking up this uh topic i was confused i was like wait they'll put on modern warfare three modern warfare two's campaign is going to mission is going to be in it i was like i don't

i don't play call it do you enough to even fathom what they're trying to get across to me so at the end of the day, they do say that no Russia will ultimately not be bar for bar to quote a soldier boy in this upcoming remaster, but it will have elements of the story to serve the overall purpose of the main mission. So anyways, at the end of the day, that's all I have for it. It really wasn't anything too deep. I just know a lot of people was wondering if this mission was going to be included in the modern day and age, and let's just say it seems like Infinity Ward has chose to go and alternative. like direction. So anyways, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know on one of my social

media. What do you think about the no Russian mission in general for modern warfare or two? Do you even think is that serious? And if you don't, why do you believe is the biggest reason they should include it in the upcoming game that's set to be released, October 28th, 2022?
