Modern Warfare 2 Favela map returns
by Steve Watts, Oct 23, 2012 8:15am PDTThe controversial "Favela" map has been reinstated in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, after being pulled temporarily due to complaints of religious insensitivity. A small update will let the map show up on playlists again, with the offending portions now removed.
The patch is only 17 MB, reports MP1st, which is likely just enough to change the map's trouble spots. So far the patch has only hit the PlayStation 3 version of the game, but this should mean we'll see it coming to all platforms soon.
The Favela had previously reused assets from a picture frame in a bathroom, apparently unaware that the calligraphy read: "Allah is beautiful and he loves beauty." Activision apologized and worked on patches for both MW2 and Modern Warfare 3, where the map was reissued.

How many video games mock Christianity? Yet no special treatment is granted to them by removing any offenses. Why are time and time again the Muslim people granted special treatment and immunity from mockery and parody?
Stop being the hypocrites you are Activision.
