Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Grand Prix-inspired multiplayer map makes a return in the game's release build, after …
But in September, any mention of the map was purged from all of Call of Duty and Infinity Ward's social media accounts, as well as any trailers on its YouTube channel. The map was also missing during the multiplayer open beta.Eurogamer raised the disappearance of the map with Activision at the time but was given no comment.
Now, the map has reappeared in the game with a different name: Crown Raceway. There is no mention of the Grand Prix or its supposed setting in the Singapore circuit. Its location is now described generically as"Southeast Asia".The key giveaways are the Singapore Flyer Ferris wheel and the Marina Bay Sands hotel which is famous for its swimming pool roof shaped as a ship.
Valderas Museum, a map that was playable in the beta, has been removed in the final game, again with no notice from Activision or Infinity Ward.Get your first month for £1 when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
