JAPAN: No Russian edited in MW2

MCV Staff 9th December 2009 Business News

Ahead of its release in the territory tomorrow, it has been revealed that the notorious ‘No Russian’ airport massacre level in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been edited for the Japanese release, according to Kotaku.

Whilst the level is still included in the release, players will now automatically fail the mission if they shoot any civilians. In the unedited version of the game players are not required to shoot civilians, though they are free to do so.

Shooting any of the terrorists, though, will result in game over on both versions.

The changes mirror those made to the game to facilitate its German release.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in Japan on December 10th. It is being published by Square Enix.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
