What type of fun did the presence of that Picture provided you. Could you please share it with me.

This has already been made a much bigger issue than it should have. So let's just stop.

It was what wasn't present anymore for a couple of weeks. It's not about the game and fun, it's about whining.

So then you admit the same thing I stated, a waste of everyone's time.

Thank You for enforcing my sour pusses comment, I was concerned I'd needed to expand but your comment did it nicely:)

I guess i should have made it more clear, you said 'ruining it for everyone' as if something was ruined, while what i see is that All the same Gamer's will play the same Map & have the same amount of fun.

Nothing changed or ruined......for anyone.

Sadly i won't be able to comment after this.

CURSE YOU BUBBLES.

Must have struck a nerve.

"It wasn't a collective religious organisation that complained- it was one Youtube user. Seriously, how close minded are you?"

Never said it was. Just that yet again it is a muslim complaining, which happens all the time. Don't you read the news?

"The chap only wanted clarification as to why IW put that picture there."

So in other words he wanted them to say "yes, we put it there intentionally to pi$$ you off", in which case he would then want it banned.

Alternatively, he is just stupid as the other obvious answer is that they wanted to make it look like it was in a Middle East setting, as if you were making a game based in Australia, most likely you might have a kangaroo or something in there.

And out of curiosity, what game do you kill Muslims in a mosque (not some racist game made by someone on the internet).

You judge me, and are more close minded than I. You are right but I am wrong? Talk about hypocrisy. You need to grow up kid.

@bubblebeam

I see it all as a matter of perspective. You're not offended by the picture, so it's a trivial thing. On the other hand, Americans complained massively about Six Days in Fallujah - even supposedly liberal gamers - to the point where a publisher dropped it and no other publisher picked it up, despite the controversy guaranteeing sales.

It's doubtful that very many people in the world would be offended by that game, even in most parts of America, but it was practically banned because the minority caused an uproar.

My point, I guess, is that if you challenge anybody's beliefs (and not just religious), they're going to get offended. Our culture has grown around our religion, our beliefs, what we view as right and wrong to the point where we know the limits of what we can do to ourselves. We've had very little time to accept other cultures, other beliefs, so the missteps are quite a bit more frequent.

Worse, because they're missteps on somebody else's beliefs, they're trivialized and things escalate because people WANT to push. But I suppose that has little to do with what we're talking about.

EDIT: Similarly, see TradingWarStories' link below.

"Never said it was. Just that yet again it is a muslim complaining, which happens all the time. Don't you read the news?"

I'm sorry but this is the internet, everyone complains about something. So what if he was a Muslim? What about things like episodes of animes like Harlock being edited because the bad guys had a symbol resembling the Star of David? (newmonday's info-thanks in advance)

"So in other words he wanted them to say "yes, we put it there intentionally to pi$$ you off", in which case he would then want it banned. "

No, he just wanted clarification- how hard is that for you to understand?? Watch the video again.

"Alternatively, he is just stupid as the other obvious answer is that they wanted to make it look like it was in a Middle East setting,"

Irony. I don't want to call you stupid but the map is called Favela- where does the Middle Eastern setting come into this?? I'll give you a moment to google search. Think before you type.

"
And out of curiosity, what game do you kill Muslims in a mosque"

Battlefield:Modern Combat. Close Combat:First to Fight. Also, what about the dozens of games where you kill people from the Middle East and Asia like Medal of Honour, Battlefield etc? How many Muslim protganists are there in games?

"You judge me, and are more close minded than I."

Eh? I'm the one who's close-minded yet you made this comment:

"wonder what Race OR Religion complained about this, given the fact no others complain quite as much."

I have friends from all walks of life and religious beliefs/races. I'm not the one making stupid generalisations- I really do believe you are in dire need of education and learning respect.

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day
