Activision reportedly filed a cease and desist letter against a fan-made Call Of Duty mod because they were worried it would impact Black Ops 6 sales.
The H2M mod reworked the beloved multiplayer mode from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and required players to own a copy of the remastered Modern Warfare to use it.
Excitement around the project was so high, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered found itself back in the Steam charts as players bought the game in anticipation of the mod, but just before the project was launched, developers revealed Activision had forced them to shut the project down.
“Today, our team members received a Cease & Desist order on behalf of Activision Publishing in relation to the H2M-Mod project. We are complying with this order and shutting down all operations immediately and permanently,” they wrote on social media, and updated their X bio to read “SHUTDOWN”.
