- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is being review-bombed due to the cancellation of the H2M mod.
- The mod was supposed to remaster the original Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer using 2016’s Modern Warfare Remastered.
- The reviews for the game have now turned overwhelmingly negative after a massive uproar from the fans.
Call of Duty is set to receive a huge wave of new players. Black Ops 6 is coming to Game Pass for the first time, and Modern Warfare 3 has already debuted on the service.
Elsewhere, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered saw a sudden surge in popularity as the H2M Modern Warfare 2 mod was announced. However, Activision quickly shot down the hype as it didn’t let the mod see the light of day.
This has now led to Modern Warfare Remastered being review-bombed on Steam.
Why it matters: The mod was supposed to bring back the beloved Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer from 2009. The team behind H2M was using Modern Warfare Remastered as the base for this remaster, and fans were excited with the results.
The mod was supposed to be released today, August 16. However, Activision sent out a cease-and-desist notice at the last minute, stopping the development.
This led to a major uproar from the player base, and Modern Warfare Remastered now has ‘Overwhelmingly Negative’ reviews on Steam. The all-time reviews have also turned ‘Mixed’. In just a few hours, the game has already received over 1000 negative reviews.
The effort Activision put into making sure you don’t have fun in this game is the most effort ever. It is not worth full price, multiplayer is unplayable, and every mod that comes out to fix it gets sued.

Fans are actively calling out Activision for cancelling the mod. Some reviews ask the players to boycott the game, arguing that the studio is greedy and making sure no fun is left in it.
The whole situation is unfortunate, considering how the mod was helping Activision sell an old game. It helped Modern Warfare Remastered reach a peak player count of 2,557, which was much higher than anything the title had achieved in recent years.
The mod removal is quite unfortunate since another highly anticipated entry is around the corner. Fans were excited about Black Ops 6, but some have asked the community to boycott this release after the publisher’s latest actions.
