The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated Sledgehammer Games' upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ahead of its November 10, 2023 release. In the contents of the ESRB rating summary (https://www.esrb.org/ratings/39547/call-of-dutyr-modern-warfarer-iii/), the board may have revealed new freight delivery, No Russian-style mission.
2009's Modern Warfare 2 featured one of the most controversial mainstream video game missions (https://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare-2s-controversial-airport-terrorist-attack/), where players opened fire on civilians in a terrorist attack. Though 2011's Modern Warfare 3 had its own take (https://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare-3-has-own-no-russian-with-little-girl/) on the shocking sequence, the mission didn't receive quite as much attention. Since then, Call of Duty hasn't done much similar. However, as reported by Eurogamer (https://www.eurogamer.net/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3s-age-rating-details-new-mission-reminiscent-of-no-russian), the ESRB may have just revealed that Sledgehammer Games has a similar mission planned for Modern Warfare 3.

Is Modern Warfare 3 (2023) revisiting the 2009 No Russian mission?
As for the specifics, here's part of the ESRB's summary on the No Russian-style mission:
"A handful of sequences depict more intense acts of violence: terrorists taking over an airplane; terrorists (dressed as police officers and paramedics) shooting/killing fleeing civilians inside a stadium concourse; airline passengers getting shot on a plane; prisoners shot inside a cell."
The new Modern Warfare trilogy has, granted, been fairly gruesome and violent in its own right. 2019's title, for example, featured a waterboarding scene among various other disturbing sequences. Last year's sequel felt a tad tamer in comparison, but it seems Modern Warfare 3 may revisit some of the series' most shocking scenes.
Curiously, the ESRB notes marijuana use as well. The agency mentions a "move in which marijuana smoke from a bong can be forced into an opponent's face". There's also the usual language, blood, and zombie dismemberment, but none of this is out of the ordinary.
