As Activision suddenly kills a long-awaited Call of Duty mod, Infinity Ward veteran encourages the publisher to "build systems to help your UGC community, not strangle it"

.

A former Call of Duty veteran has come out in defence of supporting modders, right as publisher Activision made the hugely controversial decision to shut down a major mod hours before its release. 

After years in development, the H2M-Mod project was set to bring boatloads of content from Modern Warfare 2 (2009) over to Modern Warfare Remastered (2017) today, August 16. Massive hype for the mod propelled the seven-year-old shooter back up sales charts over the last few days, but that didn't stop Activision from sending a Cease & Desist order the night before launch day.
