Something about shooting up an airport? Why'd people get so pissed over that?

Actually it didn't. You technically don't have to shoot any civilian. You just chose to, you monster.

Yeah a lot of people were pissed. Granted, I think it was a bold narrative move and Activision gave fair warning about it before hand (And made it optional). The game goes to great lengths to villify that level unlike, say, GTA which allows you to shirk all responsibility for the homicide sprees it essentially encourages you to do.

You played an undercover US operative in a Russian terror group for that mission, and had to "fit in" (although you didn't have to hit civilians or fire your weapon at all to complete the section). The civilians showed up as green on your reticle as well.

its one thing to structure your game around the morality of the military (a la spec ops) but when it's just sort of shoehorned in like this was I'm inclined to agree.

You were an American doing a false flag terrorist attack, killing airline passengers to fool a superpower into war against the supposed terrorists. The game was released only 8 years after 9/11.

No Russian was at least an interesting level with a point behind it (whether it was a good point or not that managed to hit is up to you).

But the Davis Family Vacation level in MW3 was just shocking for shock's sake. It's like, the developers (or Activision. It's likely.) saw No Russian and was like, "Hey, remember how much controversy and attention this generated for us? We should totally try to one up that! First we take a little kid..."

Even Eminem didn't try that hard.

The level had no place in the game. The level was just thrown in to stir up fake controversy for free advertising. Somehow no one bit though c

No one bit? Were you guys on the internet at the time? Literally every game journalism outfit had one or more reports and opinion pieces on it, and the level has garnered attention from many mainstream print and TV news outfits.

You play as a terrorist shooting up an airport. It's a tad bit more offensive than having the KKK as letters on a sign.
