Call of Duty fans were quick to praise Modern Warfare 2’s Amsterdam level, with many complimenting how accurate Infinity Ward’s in-game depiction of the city was to real life.
However, the hotel manager of Amsterdam’s Conservatorium Hotel is less happy about the establishment - known within Modern Warfare 2 as Breenbergh - showing up in a game that “[encourages] the use of violence”.
The hotel is now considering its next possible steps in response to this inclusion.
Speaking to de Volksrant (via PC Gamer), hotel manager Roy Tomassen stated: “We have taken note of the fact that the Conservatorium Hotel is undesirably [in a] scene of the new Call of Duty… [and] we don’t support games that seem to encourage the use of violence.”
