I was ready to play a proper remaster of Modern Warfare 2, then Activision the DAY BEFORE LAUNCH, sends out the cease & desist......they've known about the mod for well over a year, took in all the purchases of Modern Warfare Remastered that sent this 8 year old game to Steam's top 5 best selling games in anticipation of the mod releasing, only to pull this shit.

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.

Getting some ire from former devs

A lot of the original Infinity Ward team consisted of devs who used to be modders.

The original Call of Duty PC games released mod tools and server files to empower community creations to expand on the original vision.

I hate it when companies do things like this. They'll let fan game teams spend years of their lives working on games only to shut them down at the last moment despite knowing about it well in advance.
