Not to be a downer but I really think your making it up when you say "islamic gaming community" (i think of it as a formal community with a leader figure and everything :/ ) Of all the things in the game, the blood, violence, and other content do not phase you but rather a minor detail in a secluded part of the level drives you up the wall? I see how it would involve your religion but what does this have anything to do with your culture and traditions? I hope you realize that boycotting future video games of this series, if your demands are not met, will even make a significant difference. Then I would move on because I am probably worried about things like gameplay, does the design or art look confusing, does the art generally look good and realistic, and what the general level performance is like, is it running slow etc. I would then place the asset where I needed to and I would also assume there were no special rules about where that asset can be placed. I place assets in levels for a living, and if I see an asset with writing on it and if it is in a foreign language I just assume whoever made the asset made sure it is not offensive. They then put the asset in the bathroom because it seemed like a good idea at the time it was just bad luck that it happened to have some stuff written around the frame. Then someone else probably searched the library of assets for picture pictures to hang on walls and picked those based on the art in the center and didn't even notice the writing on the frame and had no idea what it said if they did notice. Someone else probably grabbed that texture and used it for a border on a picture frame that then became an asset in a library. A 2d artist probably searched the web for some random writing in Arabic to throw on a texture for general use. It seems extremely unlikely that they were looking to offend anyone. What is your point, anyway? What should I be doing, saying or viewing differently here? You're going to have to dance with words a whole lot more to convince me otherwise. You simply can not argue that there aren't people out there provoking just for the sake of provoking.Īnd while you can argue that the biggest stories of late times, the embassy attacks, were not related to the video or anything else of the kind, you simply can not argue that there isn't or hasn't been violence linked to material comparable.Īll I'm saying is that people who use their right to say what they want to say things they know will provoke, and have no motives other than that provocation, are not helping, they're doing harm. I don't see how I could be "wrong" about this.

But here's the thing: Regardless of how the "target" reacts, if you say or do something full well knowing the target is going to hate it, and say or do it anyway, that, in my books, makes you an asshole. I don't think I'm claiming anything here that you think I'm claiming. Here's one video complaining about the textures: We thank our fans for bringing this to our attention." "Activision and our development studios are respectful of diverse cultures and religious beliefs, and sensitive to concerns raised by its loyal game players. It's also scouring its texture libraries for the texture and any similar.

"Please be assured we were unaware of this issue and that there was no intent to offend."Īctivision's "urgently" working on a title update to remove the texture from MW3, and less urgently to get it out of MW2. "We apologize to anyone who found this image offensive," Activision said in a statement. That's probably not the only place it was used in MW2, though, and it reappeared in Modern Warfare 3's DLC re-release of Favela. As you may imagine, some took issue with hanging holy words above a toilet.Ī picture frame texture used twice in the level in a bathroom features ornate calligraphy of the quote "Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty," Kotaku reports. Activision has temporarily pulled the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer level 'Favela' from the map rotation following complaints that a quote attributed to the Muslim Prophet Muhammad was written on a texture used in a bathroom.
