Activision Blizzard has reportedly denied that its latest hit game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," has been banned in Russia.
"Reports that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been banned in Russia are erroneous. Activision only released a PC version of the game in Russia which went on sale on Tuesday, Nov. 10," the U.K's Daily Telegraph reported, citing an official company statement.
The game, which has been a monster hit worldwide, reportedly contains a level in which users are asked to play an undercover operative accompanying a band of Russian terrorists, who assault a civilian airport. As expected, reaction to the level in Russia was extremely negative.
However if Google Translate is to be believed, the game was never actually banned in Russia, although the distinction may be a fine one. GotPS3.ru reported that a PC version without the offending level was shipping to stores, with the Russian version of the game delayed for an indefinite period.
