Russian TV Links Moscow Airport Bombing to Modern Warfare 2

Posted by Mr. Bruns on January 25, 2011 at 3:20pm in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Have you played or watched someone play the "No Russian" level of 2009's Modern Warfare 2? If not, watch it here.

Well, yesterday there was a terrorist attack at Moscow's busiest airport. Now Russian Today(TV program) is saying that it may have been caused by the scene it the videogame.

What do you think? Could the people responsible for this attack copy what happened in Modern Warfare 2?

i thought that scene was hilarious... cuz they knew that you were undercover and put bullets in yo head after you killed a bunch of innocents. on a side note, people will always need a scapegoat because they cant deal with bad things happening and dont want to blame themselves.

the level was good in a sick weird way and i honestly believe the idea came from MW2

Sure, it could've been an idea, but the people were obviously corrupted, anyway. They were going to do it to somebody somewhere.

I don't think that these Russian TV people should blame the terrorist attack on this video game. Just Sayin.

you cant blame the video game for a terrorist attack. There are games rated T or M for a reason.

the media has trying to blame violence on video games for years. mw2 is an awesome game and i dont think anyone could take it that seriously.

you can't blame it on the game. the game is made for the pure enjoyment. it's stupid people who take it too seriously.

It is not the game's fault, or Inifitiy Ward's fault or any other producers fault. It is simply the psychos who did it's fault.

No, thats ridiculous. It's simply a video game, and blaming something like this event on a video game is immature, idiotic, and incoherent

Hmmmm unlikely. It may have inspired them to do it perhaps, but come on terrorist attacks have been around much longer than any video game in existence has. And besides that it doesnt seem like they have any proof of this.
