12. No Russian
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7vBol8wud0 The first Modern Warfare title gave us the massively memorable nuke scene that seared itself into the minds of every player who experienced it. Naturally, Infinity Ward felt that the sequel needed an equally memorable moment as well. It got one in the 'No Russian' level but it was for all of the wrong reasons. In the game the player is tasked with walking through an airport terminal while taking part in a massacre that is intended to spark war between the USA and Russia. The player can choose not to pull the trigger, but they still have to watch their comrades murder everything in front of them. It was tasteless at best and made all the worse with the reveal that you were playing as a double agent at the time. The final bullet is reserved for the player's head, thankfully putting an end to this terrible idea.
