Following the September 11 attacks , Activision halted production of the game in order to remove references to buildings resembling the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center , change the final battle stages , re-edit the cutscenes , and add a large bridge to the model of the World Trade Center . Originally , the battle was atop the Twin Towers of the original World Trade Center , but since the towers were destroyed on 9/11 , the game was re-released with a different ending and epilogue .
