9 Smartest Video Game Decisions (That Still Got People Killed)

3. Trying To Stop The Terrorists - Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's "No Russian" is by far the most controversial mission in the franchise's history, as the player goes undercover with terrorist Makarov while he and his comrades massacre a Russian airport.

Players are able to skip the mission entirely should they wish, but even if they play it, they're under no obligation to actually shoot any civilians. However, as players soon realised, the game did allow them to open fire on the four terrorists themselves in a desperate bid to stop the terrorist attack.

If you're going to attempt it, the most sensible time to try it is right at the start of the mission as the elevator doors open and the four gunmen are all directly in front of you, but alas, no matter when you try to save the day, Makarov and his men will quickly gun you down if you try to prevent the attack.

The good intent was there, but sadly not the follow-through.
