Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, the 2016 redo of Call of Duty 4, made a surprise climb up the top-sellers chart of Steam earlier this week. Being on sale helped, but the real reason was the looming release of the H2M mod, a massive, free fan-made project that aimed to recreate classic Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer in the newer remaster. But the whole thing has been shot down at the last minute: One day before the mod was set to go live, the developers say Activision's lawyers came knocking.
"Today, our team members received a Cease & Desist order on behalf of Activision Publishing in relation to the H2M-Mod project," the team said on Twitter. "We are complying with this order and shutting down all operations immediately and permanently."
