The reason makarov did this was because in the black screen, the guy spoke in Russian. This angered Makarov, because the whole meaning of “No Russian” was literally to not speak Russian, so it’d be easier to frame the Americans.

i think there's a hole in the plot, cuz everyone knew makarov was russian, and the terrorists faces were all over the news in the rest of the world and russia...
@@cheherklai4078 That does not matter, since by the American weapons and vests they could think that they were mercenaries hired by a US agency and that same agency gave them the resources and supplements to make the shooting.
No. Like the guy above me said, he spoke Russian, which was what Makarov took great issue with. The entire attack had the intention of framing the USA. It’s why he turns to you and says “Remember, no Russian.”
Fun fact, you can see this animation (or one similar to it) of Makorov grabbing him in the museum level. Crazy to see it was always there behind that black screen
I had always been confused by that, but I finally realized that was the case when I killed Makarov and the guy walked off the case and then put his gun up, and I put 2 and 2 together and realized that was the animation of him walking out of the elevator
I always wondered what he said. To me it sounded like "slami bog", I don't speak Russian, but I can read it, and I know single letter words like C and B are pronounced very fluidly as if they were a part of the following word. Thanks for the translation.
i think what happened is the guy spoke a bit of Russian which made Makarov grab him and he would then turn around to the player saying remember no Russian
Actually a better explanation than the guy being hesitant and Makarov putting him in line. Makarov himself speaks Russian right before that, tho. Maybe his line was added later on
It mostly was that the guy was hesitant about doing what they were about to do and Makarov was just keeping him in line by threatening him to make sure he follows.
@@1Chasg It would be great if the developers who did this said because anyway, maybe in the script it would say that he spoke Russian or that he made an unfunny joke or if it was an Easter egg although I doubt it
2 things 1) I’m glad to see this. During the MW2 museum you see the animation of Makarov grabbing his teammate. 2) Since the meaning of the mission is to blame the US, I like to think they covered their faces while doing the attack.
Covering their faces would’ve been detrimental to Makarov’s plan. Makarov wanted Russia to think it was an attack ordered by the CIA, so they spoke English, used American weapons (to make it look like they supplied them) and they could clearly see it was perpetrated by a known mercenary (who, in Shepherd’s words, is loyal to no country and just exchanges blood for money), plus the CIA body they recover at the end. His plot wouldn’t have worked if it didn’t appear obvious that the US was behind it, so their faces being visible helps with the idea that they were hired mercs.
@@The_Rage_Kage he was. The whole point was to make it seem like the Americans (CIA specifically) were arming and aiding a known Russian terrorist who is against the Russian government. He wanted to be seen. If I remember correctly Russia was divided and Makarov was leading the Ultranationalist movement and this attack made the other side want to invade the US, which is what Makarov wanted to do himself but probably didn't have enough people for something like that.
@@jurado1010also Lev and Kiril canonically die during the shootout on the tarmac, both Russians. So with that plus makarov and Viktor (who’s found as a Russian para in exodus) on CCTV it would more like a rogue CIA agent
@@friendlyreaper9012 You can't create a flashflag if the side you are trying to trick knows it was done by a known entity of their side. "Oh what's that? One of the guys who attacked and murdered dozens of civilians in our Russian Airport is actually the leader of the Rival Political Faction that is pushing for open conflict with the United States?"
Kiril spoke little bit russian, which made Makarov angry because the whole point of the mission is to not speak any russian, or else the whole mission will fail.
My guess is they originally had more dialog (which the animations went with) that they cut for pacing. The animation starts over presumably on a cue when the screen was ORIGINALLY supposed to fade in. Instead they made the black screen longer (probably an unrelated change to give the player time to read the on screen text) and the developer just timed the animation restart so they didn't have to change the actual animation to cut out the unused bits. I would speculate the cut content was that guy tried to talk Makarov out of what they were about to do, or trying to get himself out of it. Makarov reacts by making it clear there is only one option for him at this point, and the guy backs down.
Нет, просто так обычно говорят русские. Но не перед расстрелом мирных в аэропорту. Вывод: американцы поверхностно знают русских и их обычаи, поэтому приписали русским всё то, что о них слышали, а не то, что бывает на самом деле.
IIRC the guy who hot pushed against the wall was speaking Russian, then Makarov scolds him, "Remember, No Russian" Also remember they're attempting to frame America for this shootout so that's why everyone is speaking english
I might be overthinking this but makarov thinkering with his M4 controls is a nice subtle detail that he's from russia and more knowledgeable with an AK.
Makarov seems to say "Remember, no Russian" twice in this one. I assume in the earlier version of the scene that guy spoke Russian, Makarov shut him up physically and said to everyone (mainly conveying to the player) not to speak Russian. Then the devs probably realized that you don't really need to play it all out like that. Just black screen and Makarov saying this iconic line is eerie enough, and instead of showing the full hand right now after the mission you will realize "oooh that's why he said that in the beginning". So they re-timed the black screen and edited Makarov's lines but didn't bother removing the whole original animation.
People saying that the terrorist who was fully armed along with the most evil man in the game suddenly became a good guy and was hesitant about what they've been planning for a long time which was the most pragmatic scheme to create a world war and they say that's what made makarov push him instead of sending him straight to heaven for his final redemption at the last moment of his violent career. The guy most likely spoke russian nerds
His lips sorta read "remember, no Russian" so I think it was actually just a cut thing of the guy he pins against the wall saying something in Russian and then Makarov was meant to scold him for it. Weird though because he literally speaks Russian in the elevator lol, which, in theory should have cameras and microphones
The dude was supposed t9 be going through a bag asking in Russian: Where iz the hacksaw?(or some type of saw) Then Makarov pushed him to the wall and reminds him with the famous line. the final cut was done withouth the saw, and during the blacked out scene you can see why its choppy. the original scene has the one dude pressed by makarov going through a duffel bag looking for that saw.
I remember being confused when I saw that animation in the museum level and assuming a cut animation and reused it. So maybe we in the campaign as well we were supposed to encounter a juggernaut since in the museum shows the juggernaut beating a ranger down cause as well in spec ops we were never given info on how to take down a juggernaut we just had to learn on the go
This is true. I remember a few years back I was watching a TH-cam video of the MW2 demos/beta versions of the game. In the Wolverines mission when the Rangers fight the Russians at the gas station that is where they were supposed to encounter a juggernaut. The juggernaut comes out when the army cargo truck full of spetsnaz pull up to the gas station. Too bad they took down that video, if they hadn't I would've posted it here for you guys to watch.
I never understand why they wear suit to attack civilians in an airport. Probably to look professional and intimidating in eyes of civilians, russian police and the FSB. Original Makarov's crew from 2009's look like a sociopathics and furious hitman crew from middle of 2000's and early 2010's action-movies and horror sci-fi like F.E.A.R video-game. This crew look very like prisonbreak crew because Makarov look very like T-Bag. Remastered MW2 Makarov's crew look like five charismatics gentleman city-dweller with Instagram hairstyle nad beautiful beard like Maaron 5. This is intimidatingless...
@@SigvaldtheMagnificentPrinceI assume the spoken line before the fade in we actually got wasn't meant for that animation, since we never see the animation, and the tone seems off for it.
It's supposed to be that one of the men was speaking in Russian and that Makarov told them to not speak their native language which is why the mission is tilted no Russian
Makrov's plan was to make the hit seems like it was made by Americans, and when Kiril said something in Russian Makarov did that to him. Also, It was a silly childish way to show that Makarov is an a hole even to his allies! Glad they removed it...
ok so here is my theory about this, as you can see makarov moves his mouth similar to when he says "remember, no russian" perhaps the guy he grabs (cant remember his name) said something in russian, hence why makarov grabs him, and what he says after that is what he was supposed to say after his iconic line.
It's kinda fun to hear Makarov speaking Russian right before he says "Rmember, no Russian". He also grabbs the guy for some unknown reason (either the man was hesitant or spoke Russian). Man I swear Makarov makes no sense here haha.
My guess: The first loop around was probably just them timing up the animations to the audio The sounds of them unzipping the bags / equiping their gears was probably always going to be during a black screen - that would have just been too time consuming for the team to animate For Makarov shoving that guy against the wall, either that was him reminding that guy not to screw up the plan, or it was part of another animation they reused for this scene. If theres an animation file of someone turning their head to speak to the player like this already, it wouldn't make sense to reanimate that, so it might've been most cost effective to just reuse the second half of an existing animation. If its not a reused animation asset, then Im guessing they cut it to make the end of the mission more impactful. Better to not spoil how Makarov is able to just snap and turn on his own guys like that
I saw this on xbox 360 back in the day. My game bugged and loaded instantly with no letters or black screen. I heard the letters and intro but didnt see them and instead saw them in a animation loop before it played out and they left the eleveator. Felt so weird like i wasnt meant to see that😂
I like to think this is actually canon for Makarov to do, and the only reason they cut it out is because it would introduce too much problem with the pacing of the scene. No Russian is deliberately very slow in its intro; this is also our first introduction to Makarov as a character/person, first-hand. His sporadic act of violence/the threat is a little too confusing for the player and makes Makarov hard to define. The actual scene makes him seem menacing and calculating. This - while still fitting for his volatile personality - would paint him as too much of an aggressive man. If they could reuse this in an actual scene, they would.
Never thought about it much but....why would they send in a PFC for a top ranking undercover mission like that? I'd expect at LEAST a Corporal and even that's probably on the lighter side of what I would realistically expect to see. Unless Special Forces ranks are the same as the standard military.
And here I thought pulling a normal US Army Lieutenant in Medal of Honor Allied Assault as an OSS operative couldnt be more illogical... I mean, Allen should've been from Green Beret for all I know.
Very interesting. Good find. This makes me wonder, are there any more unused cutscenes behind black screens in MW2? It’s been some time since I played the campaign so idek if there is more.
I hate doing this mission but at the same time I want to feel the feeling after killing a civilian it turns out it's not like the feeling when eating ice cream and I feel guilty

He spoke in Russian which Makarov grabbed him, and Makarov probably said "Remember No Russian" Because of that guy.

*All four of them acted like that didn't even happen at all*
In the Museum, you see that exact animation. I always wondered where that happened
The fact that Makarov told the Player to not speak Russian is a clue already that he knew the Player isn't Russian-speaking
When I played this for the first time and the elevator doors opened, I was like: Wait no way they're showing this bro
“S nami Bog” which makarov said, means “God is with us”
10 months ago 😮
Can you not play this mission anymore? I remember back in the day doing this mission where you just spray everyone down
You can see this exact scene in the museum
A wise man once said; "Do you feel like a hero, yet?"
Spec ops : the line
A wise man too many 😛😛@@generalsheperd5864
Machinima showed this in that no Russian video
If it's the one that I'm thinking, I think they also added there at the end some cur dialogue from general Shepherd
@@BaneKlv I think shepherd was also watching the airport attack through the cameras
0:58 what does that mean before he says no russian?
"S nami Bog", Russian for God is with us.
Fun Fact: Alexei Borodin Shares The Same Model From Lev In MW2CR
Imagine if MW2 ended like this video
Very interesting. Good find. This makes me wonder, are there any more unused cutscenes behind black screens in MW2? It’s been some time since I played the campaign so idek if there is more.
I hate doing this mission but at the same time I want to feel the feeling after killing a civilian it turns out it's not like the feeling when eating ice cream and I feel guilty
Lev just don't know not to speak Russian at that point, so Makarov just choked him out.
We know what happened so the yuri but I wonder what happened with the rest of makarovs accomplices
For some reason this completely terrifying, something you would see on a back room, room with a single tv in it
The credits before the combat💀🙏
They should've kept this in to show how much of a monster this verion of Makarov is
I like that they are like not just "T" pose standing
They have no reason to cut the scene, i prefer to see the guy speaks in russian and anger Makarov to get this mission a proper start.
Isn't this scene visible in the museum mission. I kept seeing that animation and wondered where it turns up in story.
You can see this animation at the museum level.
