Favela removed from MW2 after protests from the Muslim community

[Donut]

I wish the title was a joke. muslim groups are upset because theres a painting on the map Favela in MW2 with writings that translate to "Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty". the reason for the outrage? the painting is in a bathroom. so what does infinity ward do? patch the texture away? no, they remove the entire map. they wont fix an entire host of issues with their game, but theyll remove an entire map for one texture at the drop of a hat.

Here's the video, so you can see what a fucking hideously insignificant thing these fucking pricks are getting upset about this time.

And then they wonder why so many people hate them.

hmmm yes because i'm sure that this was the result of mass uproar across the entire worldwide islamic community and not just another example of uppity diehards getting mad over nothing, something that literally every other religion (and also atheists) also have happen all the goddamn time

[Pooky]

Oh well, game is dead. The map sucked anyway.

[Warsaw]

It really isn't dead...not on the Xbox, anyways.

Maybe. I haven't played MW2 in a long time. Call of Duty 4 was a wasteland of hackers and morons last time I tried that, I can only assume MW2 would suffer a similar fate. Does anybody really care about an older CoD game once the new one comes out anyway?

[Donut]

evidently IW does :lol:

[Warsaw]

A LOT of MW2 players were seathing over the changes introduced for Black Ops, let alone MW3. They have snubbed every subsequent CoD game.

[Cortexian]

Someone rally the Internet and send in a counter-response saying that they really want the map back, and that catering to one religious groups beliefs over the satisfaction and completion of a product is absolutely unacceptable. Bring back Favela or face a boycott from everyone with a free-thinking brain on their shoulders.

[=sw=warlord]

but the brain is in the head which sits on the neck, not on the shoulders :iamafag:

Huh. Never would have figured they'd take one steaming pile of shit over another. Maybe CoD players do have some degree of intelligence?

Hell, if we're snubbing subsequent CoD games, why don't we all just play the last one that was actually good?

and I'm pretty sure the text content of my post could be placed under any other number of things that any other group gets upset about and would still be just as accurate

Because they still consider MW2 to be an improvement over CoD 4, unfortunately.

:ugh:

I guess since it takes less brainpower to play than CoD 4, they would consider it an improvement.

Says you. I enjoy the fast paced arcade gameplay of..well cod4 and black ops at least.... Won't argue it's original or riveting, it is what it is and I enjoy it for that.

Hey guys. I've figured it out.

If I want to get my way and rob everybody of their first amendment rights because they offended me a little, I have to sign my name under Islam.

Worst president since Hitler I've heard on Fox News.

[Warsaw]

Yeah man, Hitler was an awful president. I'll bet you the swing vote for him was fucking California...

Was not!

[t3h m00kz]

at least Hitler had ambition.

All Obama does is sit around in hawaii SMOKING SOMETHING

religion of FUCKING WHINING SHITHEADS

[Amit]

Honestly, this shouldn't even be a thread for how little we care about CoD. Certain Muslims being offended by nothing and IW being complete fucking retards. What's new?

[Warsaw]

It's not about CoD, it's about a game developer bending over and ruining the experience for the MAJORITY of users because an infinitesimally small MINORITY feel insulted about an irrelevant and barely visible piece of the game.

[Amit]

This isn't just any game dev. This is IW. The people who repeatedly bended themselves over to be fucked. Why do we expect anything else from them?

[Donut]

i generally expect stupidity from call of duty, but this is stupidity on a whole different order of magnitude. i figured you guys would get a kick out of it

They generally bend over in an attempt to get MORE customers...not to drive people away.

True.

no worse than christians

actually, probably better than christians, and a good chunk of atheists too

[Kornman00]

Hey, look at all the blankets getting rtossed around

[rossmum]

i only toss blankets because i can't be bothered to argue such a fucking retarded point

most muslims are fine, as most christians and most atheists are, but if tweek wants to play the "THEM DAMN MUSLIMS" card i'll happily bring up the fact that a vocal minority of atheists are just as terrible as preachy religious fundamentalists, because they behave in exactly the same manner and do exactly the same preachy, intolerant bullshit they try and call religion out for. a vocal minority (and pretty decently-sized one, at that) of christians does this and far worse, and does it regularly.

if he's going to go on another hateful, baseless rant because a couple of uptight muslims complained about something when the same type of thing would see much more widespread (and much more socially acceptable) christian moaning, then i'm not going to waste time trying to appeal to any rationality because that's not a rational fucking line of argument to begin with

[TVTyrant]

I believe the complaint is that when Atheists or Christians in America complain about something, the half of the people who really couldn't give fuck all ignore them. But when a muslim speaks up in their country, 3000 miles away, we better fucking change or else theyll crash planes into our skyscrapers.

Personally, I am fucking sick of people actually reacting to it. I wish more people would be like Matt Stone and Trey Parker and give them the fucking finger. They want to be part of modern society, then learn to be modern instead of thinking its the fucking 1690s.

[rossmum]

that's your (collective, not you personally) own fault. islamic terrorism is a real threat but it is not a particularly dangerous or scary one. 9/11 was as serious as it was because of gross incompetence if not outright malice on the part of the us government and intelligence community, and that was over a much bigger grievance than a fucking single room of a single map of some shitty game played by twelve year olds.

for what it's worth, you do actually get a similar reaction with christians in most western nations. want to stop teaching religion in schools? want to try and add actual multicultural aspects to formerly christian-dominated events? ohhh boy, look the fuck out. difference is, it doesn't make the news, because christians aren't 'scary', even if they call for someone's head or threaten to blow shit up.

[TVTyrant]

Because we as a community ignore them or stop them. That's why it's so trumped up by the media. We can own all the guns and knives we want, but we can't actually do shit about these people threatening our lives. Nothing to do, with all our strength.

Let's put a smile on that face of yours.

[rossmum]

considering the media narrative inspires events all of its own doing, i wouldn't consider it a huge stretch to say at least some of these 'muslim uproars' have been entirely because some asshole somewhere thought it'd make a good scare story
