Talk:No Russian

Added an image, hope it's appropriate. Also, what should we do about the page Team Player (level)? I think we should at least merge some of the info into this article (like the reference and trivia section)...

P.S. You are free to replace the picture if a better one is found (the current pic is merely a placeholder).

Alright I'm confused now. The actual title of the mission is Team Player, so why does this article exist? LegendaryPsycho 21:25, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Turns out the actual level of the mission is No Russian, not Team Player. Also, ign said that Makarov said "Here's your message" after he shoots you when you attempt to get on the van. Should we put that in?

Thanks.

Death Toll at Airport?
I think we should try to find an approximate statistic of the death toll of civilians, security, and FSB seperately in the level, then place it in trivia as in "The total number dead or wounded by Makarov and his team were (xxx) people, (x) civilians, (x) terminal police, and (x) FSB troops."

Four Gunmen
Finally got all names. Vladamir Makarov - Viktor - Kiril - Lev - Player(Alexei Borodin)Pfc. Joseph Allen 13:02, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

I think we need confirmation from Infinity Ward that Team Player is a different level. --DevilWarrior112 16:31, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

man i cant find the vid anywhere. i have tried searching everything. i got rick rolled 3 times!(lol)Guthix&#39;s mage2 00:55, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Team Player
The level Team Player is about you playing as U.S. Ranger in Afghanistan. You can see scenes from the levev in the new "Infamy" trailer its the one when soldiers filming with camera and the blown bridge, you know... when the soldier is grabbing a gatling gun. ---NooBiBoy

Copyright Infringement
I don't understand, how can an article be a copyright infringement, specifically this one and pretty much all the other ones?

Makarov
So....in this mission you go undercover to stop Makarov and for that even civilian casualties are accepted....why cant I just shoot Makarov in the head at the beginning of the mission? --91.115.182.160 15:04, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

They couldnt shoot him probably because they need him for info on other terrorists or something but i thought that when i first saw the video ?Whipsnap? 15:47, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

"He trades blood for money." The implication here is that the goal is to gain his trust so you can find out who paid him for the job. I think the end implication is that Shepard was the one responsible, so he double crosses both Allen and Makorov to set up the Russian invasion of the US. Especially considering how he says "it will cost you a piece of yourself." Turns out he was being quite literal. --122.148.210.58 11:27, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

TRAILER
In the trailer (launch) all of the flights turn to 'delayed'. Sounds like someone was there to turn them that way, in adition to the fourshooters.

I honestly doubt that, probably just a symbolic move by Infinity Ward, to add to the emotional/dramatic impact of the level, even considerng it's already some pretty heavy stuff. Video games are not bound by the laws of physics. And also, please sign your posts! PShizzzzle 23:42, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

I ment thatsomeone must have hacked the system, so planes would not leave, incresing casulaties. and im......well dont have an acount, call me tolge.


 * Prob Makarov. I dunno the storyline of the mission, but I'd put my bet on the bad guy. Btw, to sign ur posts, put the ~ to automatically sign. 72.195.147.117 23:04, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

i would bet the police would have changed it they would have access to the computers remotely and i dought planes would leave with out air trafic control, when you reach the out side of the level it also looks like police are on the runway also making your theoy less likely 174.16.227.223 23:12, January 13, 2010 (UTC) Kamakse

Youtube
I know there's commentary, but here's full gameplay of the level.

kind of obvious Allen was killed, and was let by Sheperd to help kill the people. but then, Sheperd was a betrayer...

Walkthrough
I call dibs on making a walkthrough for this map. :D Darkman 4 02:54, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

HydroFire: Not much to write in a walkthrough of this level.

Why is everyone making a big deal of this level?
I want to know why there is alot of controversy on this level for killin innocent civilians. Has anyone ever heard of Grand Theft Auto? - BGA, 11:42 PM, November 22 2009 (Eastern Time) this is alot worse that gta 1 because it happns alot in the world at the mome 2 some people may have lost a loved one this way 3 its alot more gory than gta and when your playing your the bad guy in the game wich means its giving out the wrong messegs but you do have a point but i would say this is a lot worse than gta.

Those three facts work against GTA as well. - BGA

hell....i think this level is a little bit offensive to me cause i am russian......- by Tehpwnage22

Wll, this is the first time you are "bad" in a game that fights terrorists. It is pretty messed up. Wii+PC 10:27, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure the bit about getting the achievement is correct.
I did my first playthrough on regular, in which I played through "No Russian." My second playthrough was on on veteran, and I skipped "No Russian". When I finished the game, I got the achievement for finishing the game on hardened or veteran.

they made it like that so that you dont have to do the most destubing misstion of all as some might find it offencive in the end they just made it so you woldent have to do it to commplete the game contiue on this if you dont under stand.

This page needs a spoiler warning, it clearly says that the CIA agent dies.

Beginning
I'm not quite fluent in Russian, but when Makarov was talking to his henchmen at the beginning, I thought I heard "S'nami Bog." That means God is with us... pretty eerie. Myko Ducor 21:02, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

I think Makarov said that like a morality boost or that they wont get killed cause god protected them or something....but I kinda highly doubt that cause god would never help or protect a guy who goes around killing people of his own nationality....... Tehpwnage22 15:12, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Well, he looks alive to me, so... 75.130.163.216 20:24, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Notes vs Trivia
First off, I like how the "Plot Holes" were expunged; this isn't the place to discuss how illogical a mission in a video game is. Now, there's a lot of Trivia. Do you think it would be beneficial to break it into a "Notes" section, which would contain relevant tips on how to beat the mission? The Teddy Bear and 1337 lines are certainly trivia, but recommending to shoot when the swat guys come in should be in a different category. Myko Ducor 23:55, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

seconded, it should be in a seperate "tips" section. --TNT LotLP 23:57, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * I changed it. There came to be a lot of trivia (even more than what's remotely useful, in my opinion) and this fits other mission pages like Wolverines! now. Myko Ducor 00:55, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

ur tripping u saud theirs no trophies i got unnessecary roughness in that mission

That's a trophy that you can get on any level. The article means trophies you can only get on this level.--72.95.249.15 02:18, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

oh sorry my bad heyy i no this is off topic but do u now how 2 gt the 'devastaor' tittle

backstory i found in another level
i found some thing neat, on the level when you are at makrovs house in the mountains there is a news paper cliping you can read with a scope saying the russain goverment knew it was makrov, but the dead american made them think they had american help. it also talks about when the goverment declares war on america. its neat you should go read it and then edit your wiki page about this lv i am suprised no one else found this.174.16.227.223 23:18, January 13, 2010 (UTC) kamakse

Allen's actions
I realize this is mostly speculative, but I figured any real answer would be good for the article... Is any reasoning given as to why Allen/Alexi willingly went along with the attack? Assuming as the cutscenes state his end goal is stopping Makarov.. it makes sense that he'd try it then and there, since presumably ( given how the mission ends ) he wasn't in on Shepherd's plans at all. Just wondering if there's any logic given to the scene or not. 96.39.166.159 22:27, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well, if Allen killed Makarov and the others, he would be all alone to face the FSB/Internal troops/Security guards. Also, you can't underestimate the power of authority. If Shepherd ordered Allen he needed to stick it through to the end, then maybe Allen felt obliged to do so, no matter what. Ant423 02:08, January 20, 2010 (UTC)Ant423

What does he say?
Hey, does anyone know what the guy on the PA system says in this level? Sgt. S.S. 19:09, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

call of duty MW game case
Just to let you know beside a cash register is a xbox 360 moernwarfare 1 game case, its easier to recognise it with the pc version ( better textures ) its green has the game case features and also the front cover and even back cover. so might be good puttin this in trivia. 90.202.76.239

Enemies list
On the enemies list it says civilians. Can someone describe how they actually are enemies and not just civilians? Smuff 18:45, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Becauase they can be killed without penalty and they have red corsshairs. Ant423 02:18, February 13, 2010 (UTC)Ant423

no russian is sooo mest up
isnt no russian is soo mest up.please tell me modern warfare 2 why is no russian so mest up.im new to the call of duty wiki so i dont know but if u can comment tell me if u know why no russian is so mest up.thank you.

Dude if you don't like it just skip it JackIsASpy 20:43, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

It's just one of the more intense maps, it's not messed up at all. Par Jack Smuff 20:45, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

IW was just trying to pull a shock and awe. Wii+PC 10:12, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

The Russian knew Makarov was behind the attack
In Loose Ends in of the newspaper clippings it said that the Russian govenment believed that Makarov was behind the airport attack. So there should be no need for argument as to whether Makarov has been identified in the attack at all, because he IS actually believed to be involved. 222.153.236.48 13:58, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Why not just kill Makarov
Why didn't Shehperd just tell Allen to kill Makarov? He had such an easy opportunity, and even if he died afterward, he still would've kill him. This would've stopped the Russian-American war, all the deaths of the civilians and american/TF141 soldiers that died as a result of the war, and so on.--With care and happiness, Supermutantslayer450' ROAR 22:44, March 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Shepherd wanted an excuse for the American military to be mobilized. The Russian invasion of the U.S. was just that opportunity. Shepherd's overall goal was to become a war hero for defeating the Russians and killing Makarov. That's why he took the DSM for himself in Loose Ends; TF141 would have found out that he was actually working with Makarov for a short time, making him a scapegoat that he could betray. 23:41, March 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Remember, Shepherd was a narcissist, he saw himself as the protagonist and Makarov as the antagonist. To him TF141, the Rangers and the Ultranationalists were his pawns, in the end even Shadow Company were just pawns to him.

Can't destroy the helicopters?
That bit about not being able to kill the helicopters in the article is wrong. You can destroy the transport helicopters using your M203, but you have to be fast, and do it enough times that you get the trajectory right. And the little birds go down really easily. About a dozen rounds from your M4, and they'll drop.

Anyone else tired of this?
Is anyone else tired of hearing all of this "controversy"? Sure, you kill innocents, but, hello, it's just a video game. Yet people keep ranting and raving about how it's evil or some other crap. --With care and happiness, Supermutantslayer450' ROAR 14:47, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Just imagine in if it took place in america, or was not skippable. There would be bans for the bans. Wii+PC 10:25, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

The Number of casualties
During the cutscene for Takedown it shows all the casualties of the airport massacre, as it picked out Pvt. Allen's file.

Can someone see how many deaths there were? You'd need to play the cutscene at a fraction of the speed RaptorMW3 07:59, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

It repeats names and it would be kinda pointless to count that many names Dschu44 10:20, September 21, 2010

Even if it's a rough estimate, because it seems as though they listed a lot more deaths than there really were. Some people escape and others dodge the gunmen. RaptorMW3 11:48, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

as stupid as it sounds, i think someone should just go through playing a youtube vid of the level and counting all the people shot or laying dead.

The mission is funny when...
.... you turn enemies off via a mod. I tried it just to see if my theory is correct, and yes, none of the Russians shoot anyone when you have the No Enemy mod on.

HOWEVER, I would say about 60% of the civvies are scripted to die, and so when you reach the first massacre, there is no sound, nothing, and then all the civvies just flail and fall over.

Going to play it through now with no clip, and it should make certain that they are mostly scripted to die. RaptorMW3 12:12, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Nice feelin'
Just got mad ( don't ask from what ) an' needed somethin' to let my anger on. Thought No Russian will do. An' Bingo ! Makes the mad guy get relaxed. To all those who got mad from somethin' an' need somethin' to let their anger on : Play No Russian. X29 14:50 November 21 2010.
