Thousands of people have signed a petition to restore the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remake mod.

Activision has suspended the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remake mod, causing community controversy

The H2M mod, originally scheduled for release on August 16, was intended to bring the multiplayer experience of Modern Warfare 2 to 2016's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remake. However, just before its release, Activision issued a suspension order to stop the project.

This move triggered a strong backlash from the Call of Duty community, with players launching a petition calling on Activision to follow Rockstar Games' acquisition of "GTAOL" role-playing mods "FiveM" and open up to H2M mods.

The petition argues that the H2M mod does not infringe Activision's copyright, as players need to own Modern Warfare Remastered to install it. In addition, the petition argues that the mod actually helped revive the popularity of Modern Warfare Remastered, making the game a hit again on Steam.

Activision has not yet publicly responded to the matter, but sources suggest that with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 coming soon, Activision may want players to focus on the latest title rather than the game from a decade ago.

However, with the petition gaining thousands of fan signatures and Modern Warfare Remastered being bombarded with negative reviews on Steam, Activision may at least be forced to respond to the issue.
