Gamers, specifically fans of the Call of Duty franchise, were heartbroken today as an upcoming fan project, “H2M,” that set out to re-master a beloved entry in the franchise was shut down by a Cease and Desist Letter from Activision. Fans have been disheartened by the news, given that there were many players excited for the project’s release on Friday, August 16. The project had some small closed-play sessions with well-known content creators from the Call of Duty sphere, such as Merkmusic, Futives, Faze Jev, Bams, etc. Unfortunately, fans are now left awry and in anger at Activision for their decision to cut off the fan project and essentially make the project’s developers feel like their work was meaningless.

The Project Itself

“H2M” was the name of the project that was in development for over a year by fans of the franchise who used their knowledge of game development to bring a remastered version of the multiplayer from 2009’s Modern Warfare 2. The project aimed to recycle and re-master assets and elements from 2017’s Modern Warfare Remastered. Using this game as a base for their project, they were able to create an updated experience of Modern Warfare 2‘s multiplayer that many fans held close to their hearts, whether it be from their childhood or early adulthood. The project would not only include the entirety of Modern Warfare 2‘s multiplayer re-mastered, but it would also add new maps, weapons, camos, and challenges for players to chase when playing. The project required players to buy the base game of Modern Warfare Remastered to then be able to download the project’s free client that would change everything about the base game into the project they built.
