The H2 Multiplayer Mod for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered has recently gained significant popularity, resulting in a surge in players. However, this popularity has attracted the attention of Activision Blizzard, leading to the issuance of a cease and desist order, ultimately resulting in the shut down of the mod.
The creator, Watchful Wolf, has expressed plans to develop a unique game following the mod’s closure. On August 15, 2024, outraged fans of the mod expressed their dismay by negatively reviewing the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Steam page.
This negative feedback caused the review score to drop significantly. The mod’s release initially garnered excitement among fans and content creators, leading to a considerable increase in the player base, partly attributed to a simultaneous discount offer.
The sudden rise in popularity resulted in unwanted attention from Activision Blizzard’s legal team, leading to the shutdown of the mod. The official Twitter page of the mod confirmed the receipt of the cease and desist order, forcing them to halt the project.
Watchful Wolf issued a brief apology to the fans and later hinted at creating a new, unique game despite the setback. Supportive fans have urged Watchful Wolf to consider crowdfunding options to fund their new project.
The future trajectory of the team and their ability to capture the essence of Modern Warfare 2 in a distinct game remains uncertain, leaving it to time to reveal the outcome.
