We suspect a scandalous single campaign Call of Duty: Modern Warfare You are already heard. Among other things, it has an episode that was noticed even in the West. Journalists accused the developers of trying to rewrite a real story, and recently Infinity Ward I commented on the hype.
For starters – context. In one of the scenes of the campaign, the user is told that the Russian army attacked the inhabitants of the fictional country of Urzikstan. During the description of the attack, the phrase "Highway of Death" is used.
In fact, the term “death highway” was called the two roads located in Kuwait and Iraq. During the Gulf of Persian, on the night of February 26 to February 27, 1991, the United States and allies held massive air raids on the highway, as a result of which about 2 thousand cars and units of armored vehicles were destroyed or abandoned.
As you can see, in a real event, Russia did not appear. This confused the press and some gamers – they say, scriptwriters Modern Warfare apply a term in relation to the Russian Federation, which was previously firmly related to US actions.
Gamespot employees discussed the controversial details of the plot Modern Warfare With a narrative director Infinity Ward Taylor Kurosaki (Taylor Kurosaki). Here’s what he said about the scandal around the highway:
I think you can find many cases of using the words "Highway of Death". We made the scene of the fictional country of Urziktan because we are raising the topics that have been touched on … over the past 50 years in countries and places around the world. We do not portray specific country or conflict. These topics are raised again and again, and the same participants are involved in these processes. We do not expose any of the parties good or bad.
Kurosaki claims that in the game villains and heroes are found among both Russians and Americans. "This is not some kind of propaganda-this is a report on what is happening in the zones of the conflict", – said the developer.

The best comments
Most often their "bad" Americans are 1-2 traitors.At the same time, their “good” Russians are 1-2 traitor ..
– Russians hang people on the tap
– The Russians enslave
– Russians torture with water
– Russian assholes
– Cool Americans save the world from Russians
(Sometimes they behave badly because the Russians first started)
– Well … this is a gray moral … in the war all are bad ..
Who then interfered with the invent of the country of the aggressor? Some Rusin Republic, which is very similar to the East European country from the CIS.
But no, they only pretend that this is a “report”, so they reacted to the Russian Federation.
Kurosaki is aware that the game has already come out and so brazenly lie when everyone has already got acquainted with the plot, the very little stupid?
The story is fiction. The USA is by chance there. White helmets, death highway and so on are also random. It also happened that Russia was there. And Russian soldiers in actual Russian form. Generally by chance. These are just the people of Barkov, such a criminal, they portray the Nazis, and they accidentally found themselves, they found the open warehouse and took.
The situation here is like with films. If you are promised a historical film, then you do not expect to see "Tired by Mikhalkov 3". So it is: from the "gray morality" you do not expect "but the arrow does not turn and everything was so".
We do not portray so that in the subtitles we clearly indicate that the soldiers are Russians. And in dialogs we constantly remind you that Russians are worse than terrorists.
And yes, the fact that the game has white helmets is so, a coincidence, and not a hint of the Syrian conflict, of course.
You know how the refrigerator differs from the developers of the new sorplay? When you get your sausage from the refrigerator, he at least does not fart.
There used to be controversial moments in Col. But even the very edge (airport) could be explained, it was inscribed in the plot and logical reasonably. Now there is only one justification left: it is necessary to suck the government. Everywhere there is its own propaganda and this is normal. It is not normal when watering with slopes of the “conditional enemy” is first set “gray morality”, and then “reporting”.
Something reminiscent of the creators of KOH2, who, according to Mikhalkov’s documents, made a plot. Maybe we can throw ourselves on one film right about those and others? We will make them all with flawed whiners so that they still dismiss blacks (in the States with this strictly) and beat their wives (sexists like)? Well, on the bite of games, the director would definitely buy coke with whores. And then let’s say that this is not propaganda, but an artistic report on the creation of games!
"I think you can find many cases of using the words" Highway of Death "". BGG. And a year later, in the new column, American pilots will shoot down many Russian bombers under “I think, you can find many cases of using the words“ black Tuesday ”. And in the next column, the Americans heroically defend the house in Stalingrad under “I think, you can find many cases of using the words“ Pavlov’s house ”and then the Russian president develops a plan to capture the world under“ I think, you can find many cases of using the Blitzkrieg and the Barbarossa plan ”. That you are not propaganda, everything was so. The report!
You do not perceive in Russia, and Bobby, never seeing it and watching only films, playing games and watching the news, grows up with the thought that this is a world aggressor that creates game more abruptly fascists.
Any form of art presents some point of view, for example, there is the film “Red Sparrow” where the Russian are bad and all that, and in general the first half of the film I thought that the action in the 60s was happening, but it turned out these days, because people have already been used by disk phones in Moscow. https: // www.YouTube.COM/Watch?v = nhzrio-mqel. By the way, video about this topic
And films can quite be propaganda, which has been proven to a thousand times over the past 50 years. If films can be for her, then why don’t she be games
Just yesterday I went through the new MW, I did not want to indulge the general hysteria and I had to see myself what they got there ..
-In one of the first screensaver of the headlight (a woman leader in an Islamic country, the states) puts equality between Russians and terrorists, simultaneously calling the first invaders … I played the American version, so all the dialogs were “as it should”, and not “Barkov’s people”
– At the end of the nineties, Russia conducted the genocide of the civilian population in a certain Arabic country, grassing with a chemical weapon of women and children, though evil Russians cannot cope with the brave girl of about eight (vest – strength, body armor – grave) ..
– “The Road of Death” (google who does not know) exclusively the fault of Russians (chivo?)
– Gray morality for the sake of Price killed a couple of civilians
-In St. Petersburg there are streets “First” and “Second”, somewhere at the intersection with Nevsky: D
– The evil colonel is just angry
Cranberry would be cranberry, but everything is served too much on serious brushes, this time it was clearly overdoed with politics.
Well, the shooting really became better, the multiplayer is good, although I didn’t really like the cards, but that flavor, I think.
