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.

"The original Call of Duty PC games released mod tools and server files to empower community creations to expand on the original vision," he explains, before encouraging companies to "Build systems to help your [user-generated content] community, not strangle it."

Most players will agree that Scratch is the best camp follower and familiar in the game, which makes this user's discovery especially tragic. Encountered relatively early in the game, Scratch is not only an adorable character to have hanging around camp but he can be a valued asset with the Scratch's Ball item. Using it summons the hound to the user's side where he can sniff out hidden items and objects, provide the «Help» action, or even remove several status effects including Prone, Entangled, Burning, Downed, and Ensnared to name a few.
