The game\u2019s opening cinematic utilizes some real world news coverage to establish the game\u2019s fictional narrative. It is not intended to reference or trivialize the Itaewon disaster or any other real-world tragedy in any way, shape or form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The crush occurred as mostly young people flooded the narrow, sloping streets of Itaewon to celebrate Halloween four years ago. An estimated 100,000 people packed the streets for the first virtually unrestricted Halloween festivities in three years following lockdowns. Witnesses said police had trouble controlling the crowds.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to criticism from some quarters about setting the game in a fictional conflict that Koreans have real world concern about, Call of Duty&#8217;s chief marketing officer, Tyler Bahl, told the BBC: &#8220;We have to understand this is entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<section data-transform=\"author-sign-off\" data-id=\"ad651d6b-b2ae-4500-bed9-cb7b5247c0b6\"><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bereaved families have called on Activision to remove real footage of the 2022 Seoul Halloween crush disaster from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
