There are some speculations that the game is facing legal licensing issues with some of its locations, but there are no official statements to prove the theories.

The manager of the Conservatorium has been vocal on the matter of their establishment being featured in the game without their permission. He said, “We have taken note of the fact that the Conservatorium is undesirably the scene of a new Call of duty”. 

Tomassen, who is the manager of the Conservatorium, expressed his distaste by saying, “More generally, we don’t support games that seem to encourage the use of violence.” He also added, “The game in no way reflects our core values and we regret our apparent and unwanted involvement”.  

The hotel hasn’t taken any action yet, but looking at the innate distaste expressed by the officials, the possibility of legal action is not impossible. Before this, the Valderas Museum and Crown Raceway map in the game faced a similar situation.
