Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) – “No Russian”
Let’s get this one out of the way. Any list of Call of Duty moments, controversies, or memorable events will undoubtedly include “No Russian.” The opening mission of the original Modern Warfare II.
In the mission, players take part in a mass shooting at an airport. It was hard to play in 2009 and since then—as mass shootings have become more common in the United States—it’s even harder to revisit. Regardless of how you feel about “No Russian,” the mission is one of the most well-known moments in video game history.
