I was so heartbroken when that C&D came in. The very day before the launch of the mod too, as if they wanted to rub salt in the wound. But thank you for all your work and good luck on that new project you're working on.
Just want to thank you and the H2M team for what you did for the OG cod community. MW2 will always hold a special place in my heart and I’m ecstatic to finally witness a remaster after all these years with or without Activision.
Im glad that the group of modders isnt giving up, i need this childhood game back. I really miss the days i played killzone 3, uncharted, cod 4 and mw2.
Love hosting my own private server with friends and bots with a bunch of GSC scripts and server tweaks (xpgain, bot kill streaks, map/gamemode voting, team switch, etc). Even have an extra server for AW maps/movement and some custom MW3 maps and guns. Literally the perfect way for us to play MW2 and soon other games.
I used to do tons of Bot Warfare stuff with IW4X, but not only was it shut down, but to be brutally honest, IW4X was super buggy and unreliable, plus their Discord support channel was full of trolls. Glad that there’s now a good alternative
I’m 29 and back in 06-09 were the best times of my life. I was 12-14 coming home and playing ps3 and skateboarding all the time. This game is my childhood and you guys made it happen in 2024. So thank you 🙏
CoD is a far cry from what it once was, from supporting mods from cod 4/ waw days to puttin mw2 on sale a week before cease and desisting a mod. I get that its not like a "mod tool" mod, its more technical than that but f-kin hell they're not losing money from it... I'm glad people have put some effort into keeping this mod alive, props to them
Been playing HMW for weeks. Updated, bugs fixed, anti cheat. Loving my time on it. Community needs to jump back on. Its safe its a launcher that auto updates and downloads. Need some more players in my domination matches.
That's also the beauty of the PC Community. You guys have some POWERFUL tools. Opesorce tools. All these consoles are, unfortunately, closed-source. I'm sure if the MOD was on the console + cross-play, it would be MUCH more active! Best believe!
god I hope that HMW works on MW3 remastered. I regret not playing MW3 as a kid. Loved playing it as an adult. But sucks the only way to play now is via spec ops or against bots offline if you don't wanna risk being hacked.
Haven't gotten around to trying it yet but this is such a massive dub and I look forward to playing it. It looks so good at a glance it looks official!
@@WatchfulWolfthe community is amazing man they are doing what Activision wont. They wouldn’t of lost a sale with me downloading h2m instead as I never had any intentions to buy BO6
Hes good, it’s not like he leaked it after getting the DMCA or helped them dev it behind the scenes. It is Activision’s fault for waiting until less than 24h from launch to take it down when hundreds of people already had early access.
Activision should have already released mw2 multiplayer combined with the story mode they released a few years ago. Such a disappointment. If they get mad at people trying to keep mw2 alive, they should grow some balls and release it themselves.
ive been trying to play but when i connect to a server that claims 50 ping on the server list (best i can find usually) it ends up "playing" at 200-400 ping, any ideas? im hard wired to my pc.
So easy to install with the HMW launcher, I purchased the game on steam, transferred my files into the game folder then refunded the game on steam, works perfectly
I wish I could play that on my PS5. Also, why can’t there be a badass competitor to COD? I wish the original guys from MW2 could get back together and make something that blows the current COD: Fortnite Edition out of the loot box.
I'm having this weird bug where it uses the wrong faction models on various maps. For example, some maps use the Seals models instead of TF141. And some maps use the Milita models instead of Spetsnaz.
Wait was that actually you playing? I remember I was on SwiftyFrs lobby once and your username was in the lobby when he streamed, either way hope your having fun, they done a good job so far with the patches.
@@WatchfulWolfdamn ok, bro thought you were a fake on stream when you were on the lobby. It’s weird knowing I actually played with a dev that worked on the og mod.
Did any of the play testers have the latest and final version of the game that it was going to ship out with? Or was that not rolled out and kept in the vault until the c&d occurred.

all you need to do is buy it, download it, open it once, then refund it. The files will still be downloaded and you'll be able to run the mod and get your money back.

Is it still up and running? I just found this
