Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 already launched for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on November 10, with separate editions also confirmed for the Wii and DS. It is the sixth installment of the Call of Duty series and the direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continuing along the same storyline.
What is The Controversy?
An early level in the game entitled "No Russian" has the player assume control of a deep cover CIA agent, joining a group of Russian nationalist terrorists in enacting an airport massacre. The player is given the option to skip the level at any point. The game was discussed briefly in Britain's House of Commons after the issue was brought to the attention of MP Keith Vaz, a long time opponent of violence in video games, with fellow labor politician Tom Watson arguing that the level was "no worse than in many films and books" and criticizing Vaz for "collaborating with the Daily Mail to create moral panic over the use of video games".
This controversial mission was removed from the Russian version of the game. Sales of console editions of MW2 were delayed in Russia because authorities ordered the recall of all printed discs where the mission was not locked out.

This game is used the same engine as it predecessor, and nothing revolutionary about the graphic, although it still very nice to look at. Anyway, if you still don't match the hardware criteria for this game, then you might boycott this game for completely different reason....
