Muslims upset because of a mirror saying Allah is great is stuck in a dirty old toilet in the favela map.

I guess Activision doesn't like the idea of having their offices burned down, embassies attacked and be-headings as a result..

Just telling it the way it is.

Seems that islamic religious bigotry is the way forward these days

Old news

Don't see the problem really IW only did the 'decent' thing. They'd have been thought of just as bad if they said tough we aren't doing anything.

Week to late, was already discussed and thread ended up being locked.

Why didnt they just re texture it????

pumaz · 13 Oct 2012 at 17:48

I wonder if there's a team of Muslims employed just to find something to be offended by!

Why can't they just remove the texture instead of the whole map?

reflux · 13 Oct 2012 at 17:55

Didn't they remove it so they could remove the texture, then put it back up?

Amazing that if it's so offensive it only got noticed 3 years after the game was released.

Mlingard · 13 Oct 2012 at 18:44

I bet there are loads of muslim that wouldnt give a damn about this but seems like some people just want to stir up trouble AGAIN .

Yes.

It's coming back once it's been modified and they have a patch

The map will come back with a burning Quran instead.
