From LauncherWP: Call of Duty based some maps on real places. Not everyone was happy.
Valderas Museum, a map that closely resembles the J. Paul Getty Museum, was playable during “Modern Warfare II’s” beta but did not appear in the game’s official release. Some fans have speculated that Activision cut the map due to negative feedback; beta players criticized it for being too large for most multiplayer modes, leaving little cover for players to hide behind from snipers and campers. Activision Blizzard, the game’s publisher, has not given a reason for its removal.
Other fans speculated that Valderas Museum was removed from the game due to its similarity to the Getty. In response to an inquiry from The Washington Post, Lisa Lapin, vice president of communications at the J. Paul Getty Trust, wrote: “Unfortunately, we are unable to comment at this time.
“We have taken note of the fact that the Conservatorium Hotel is undesirably the scene of the new ‘Call of Duty,’ ” said Conservatorium manager Roy Tomassen to de Volksrant. “More generally, we don’t support games that seem to encourage the use of violence. The game in no way reflects our core values and we regret our apparent and unwanted involvement.”
