I had come to think that Modern Warfare 2 was making a comment about United States foreign policy and militarization, rather than just being shocking for shocking's sake. The bad guy is an American general and the mission in which you have a hand in a massacre puts you in the role of an American CIA operative. After all, if there's a subversive Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 2 is probably it. I went into a replay of Modern Warfare 2 with the expectation that "No Russian" and the rest of the game's story had been misunderstood over the years. That's never more apparent than with "No Russian." But the whole game resonates a bit differently when considered in the light of what has happened in the last 11 years. Revisiting the game demonstrates that Modern Warfare 2's intense first-person shooter moments still stand up to more recent games and remain as powerful as they were more than a decade ago. The newly released Modern Warfare 2 Remastered campaign updates the game's visuals and sound, but the gameplay and story are identical to what was originally released.

It also puts you in a position to gun down an airport full of civilians and police in the infamous mission, "No Russian." The 2009 game's campaign features a Russian invasion of the U.S., sees your player characters killed not once, but twice, and heralds the return of fan-favorite hero Captain Price.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 includes a lot of moments that stick in the memory, for a variety of reasons.
