Watchful Wolf also stated in the video that the C&D explicitly stated why Activision moved to shut the project down. They said it was "because of the popularity H2M was gaining and how close it is to Black Ops 6 releasing. They did not want H2M interfering with possible sales of Black Ops 6."
As usual in this kind of situation, it's difficult to verify Watchful Wolf's claims. However, it does make sense that Activision would do whatever it can to try to maximize Black Ops 6's sales, as it's the first one releasing on Xbox Game Pass. It also comes at a sensitive time for the Xbox brand, which now owns Activison. But it's also important to note that this isn't the first high-profile Call of Duty mod to get the axe from the publisher, and we highly doubt that it'll be the last. The Black Ops 6 beta begins on Friday, August 30.
We've reached out to Activision for comment, and we'll update the piece accordingly if we hear back.
