10 Major Plot Holes EASILY Answered In Their Video Games

10. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - No One Identified That Makarov Lead The Airport Attack?

Modern Warfare 2's controversial No Russian mission is not only polarising due to the player performing a terrorist attack, but also because many have pointed out a glaring issue that threatens to collapse the entire narrative with a plot hole.

Makarov's goal is to make Russia believe the attack in the airport is done by Americans, and he reminds his comrades not to speak any Russian so as not to arouse suspicion. He then kills the lone American in his team so they find the body of a U.S. citizen that supports the notion America performed the attack.

The problem that arises is that Makarov is already a very well known Russian terrorist during the events of the game, and he does the attack entirely without his face covered. The fact the Russian government would instantly blame the attack on America and start World War 3 when Makarov is the one doing it seems completely far-fetched.

The answer to this is fairly simple: In Makarov's safe house you can find a newspaper clipping that explains the Russian government knew and accepted that Makarov carried out the attack. What they placed blame on was the U.S. supplying Makarov with the arms he needed, believing America helped him plan it.
