This isn’t the first time something like this has happened Activision has apologized for a design choice on a Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies map that apparently scattered pages of the Koran across a floor and spattered them with blood.
Activision apologized and returned the map to the game with the offending content removed.
Call of Duty: Vanguard’s Zombies mode is developed by Treyarch; the game’s campaign and standard multiplayer was handled by Sledgehammer Games.
An Activision representative declined to give additional comment on the incident or why Treyarch decided to illustrate a Zombies map in this way.
