“Almost as if they knew this backlash was coming?”: Call of Duty’s Activision Blizzard Has Taken Swift Action After the Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Crisis

The controversy surrounding Activision Blizzard and its latest attack on a modder continues to generate all kinds of negative feedback from players. The community has begun demanding refunds for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered as a form of protest against the company’s actions.

On platforms like X, users keep uncovering various decisions made by Activision that further damage its reputation. The H2Multiplayer mod has led the company to make changes on their website, preventing players from lodging complaints.

Activision Blizzard Continues to Pursue Modern Warfare 2 Mods

It’s not uncommon for companies to go against their own player communities, especially when it comes to experimental content related to the games in question.

In this case, Activision Blizzard issued a legal notice to a modder who had created a tool allowing players to test old maps from 2009 in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered—maps that the studio had yet to update.

Naturally, this sparked outrage within the game’s community, as thd player simply wanted to make these maps accessible to everyone, even though they weren’t on the studio’s radar.

As a result, a wave of fans attempted to return the game as a form of protest against the company. The company altered its official website to remove the option for direct complaints as the situation escalated.

The H2Multiplayer Mod Continues to Stir Controversy in the Call of Duty World

Some users on X noticed that Activision Blizzard’s official website had removed an option that allowed players to file complaints or seek clarification with an ambassador.

This was likely a move by the company to minimize the visibility of these complaints, hoping the issue with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered and its mods would eventually cool down. Such actions only deepen the problem rather than resolve it.

However, a number of users have noted that the ambassador option has been absent for some time and is not a recent addition to the site.

Regardless, this hasn’t stopped fans from voicing their dissatisfaction with the company that attacked this modder simply for trying to allow everyone to enjoy old maps that the studio had yet to update. The wave of refunds continues, and Activision has yet to give an official statement about the subject.

This isn’t the first time a major company has turned against its entire community by taking actions against all players, solely to protect revenue from content they aren’t working on.

Nintendo is a prime example, known for its severe crackdown on emulators. Instead of doing this, studios should focus on adapting older content so they can benefit from it without resorting to such measures.
