'Linking issue' caused content to appear as staff picks.
Activision has removed multiple pro-Hitler videos from its Call of Duty Elite service. The videos – which included archival World War II footage featuring Hitler and a music video titled Aryan Pride – were displayed on Call of Duty Elite's Theater page and labeled as "Staff Picks."
Activision provided the following statement:
"We're aware of a user linking questionable materials to Call of Duty Elite. This video was in no way an Elite staff pick, but rather a linking issue that has since been remedied by the Elite Live Operations and Beachhead team.
Material of this nature does not belong on Elite and we are working to prevent these types of issues from happening in the future. The content originated on a third-party video hosting site, a fix has since been pushed and the issue has been resolved. Elite reserves the right to ban users who violate the Call of Duty Elite terms of service and code of conduct."
The material has now been replaced by legitimate Staff Picks that are available on the Call of Duty Elite site.
