Probably this.
People are way to sensitive about this kind of stuff.
Would I get upset if some big videogame put all Dutch people as pot-smoking hippies? I guess.
Then I remember this game probably wasn't made by a Dutch developer and that this is the (humorously wrong) world-view people have of the Dutch and shrug it off.
Would I get angry if it were a Dutch developer doing this? Unless it's a very obvious parody, yes. I would.
What I'm saying is... lighten up.
Yes, it isn't Urdu. It looks sorta the same, though. It's probably recycled material from other levels. Unless Infinity Ward had an actual Pakistani on their team, I can't get "angry" about it.
They could have done their research some more, I guess, but... Why incite a riot about it?
