An unofficial project bringing classic Call of Duty experiences to web browsers has been taken offline, according to developer Luckey Faraday. In a statement shared on X, the creator said Activision issued a DMCA takedown notice, removing the project’s posts and leaving its browser games unavailable.
The projects included browser recreations inspired by Black Ops II and Black Ops Zombies, offering a way to revisit familiar Call of Duty content through a web browser. Indexed project descriptions identified them as unofficial fan reconstructions.
In brief:
- Developer Luckey Faraday says Activision issued a DMCA notice over their Call of Duty browser projects.
- According to the developer, the related posts were removed, and all the games went offline.
- Project listings included unofficial recreations of Black Ops II and Black Ops Zombies content.
- The available descriptions identify browser reconstructions, rather than complete ports of the original games.
Call of Duty Browser Developer Announces Activision DMCA Takedown
In the statement shared on X, Faraday described the shutdown bluntly: “Activision just DMCA’d me for porting CoD games to the browser.”
“They nuked every post, and every game is now offline,” the developer added.
Faraday also joked about potentially being the first “vibe coder” to receive a DMCA notice from a major gaming company, before signing off with, “It was fun while it lasted, boys.”
The statement attributes the takedown to Activision. However, the supplied text does not include the notice itself or its specific allegations, so the details of the enforcement action remain based on the developer’s account.
What Were the Call of Duty Browser Projects?
One project, called Claude of Duty: Vibe Slops II, was described in its repository as an unofficial browser-based FPS reconstruction. Its description explicitly stated that it had no affiliation with or endorsement from Activision, Treyarch, Microsoft, or Anthropic.
Another repository, Kino der Toten, described a browser recreation of Black Ops Zombies. Its listed features included rounds, barricades, weapons, perks, the Mystery Box, teleporting, and Pack-a-Punch. That suggests an effort to reproduce recognizable Zombies mechanics alongside the familiar setting.
Although Faraday called the work “porting” in the takedown statement, the project descriptions support calling these browser recreations. They do not establish that complete versions of the original Call of Duty games were available.
Are the Call of Duty Browser Games Still Playable?
According to Faraday’s announcement, all the affected games are now offline. The supplied statement offers no return date or plan to relaunch them.
