A former Infinity Ward developer has publicly criticized Activision for shutting down a fan-developed remaster of 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, just a day before its release. The project, which had generated significant excitement within the gaming community, aimed to revive Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode with enhanced visuals and updated features.
The H2M Mod was scheduled for release on August 16, but just before its launch, the development team announced via social media that they had received a cease-and-desist order from Activision Publishing. Complying with the legal directive, the developers stated that they were shutting down all operations related to the project immediately and permanently. Some inspiration behind the mod stemmed from Activision’s choice to remaster only the single-player campaign of Modern Warfare 2, leaving its popular multiplayer mode untouched, which had made the mod highly anticipated. The sudden cancelation sparked significant backlash, with players expressing frustration across platforms, leading to review bombing on Steam and refund requests for Modern Warfare Remastered.
