Developer's "Call of Duty" Web Games Removed After DMCA Complaint

Developer Luckey Faraday has had two browser-based "Call of Duty" games removed following a DMCA copyright complaint from Activision. The games, one based on "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" multiplayer and another recreating a classic zombie map, are no longer accessible.

Faraday utilized AI agents and the Three.js framework in development. While the developer stated the projects had no affiliation with Activision, Treyarch, or Microsoft, the games incorporated original "Call of Duty" assets, including maps, models, and animations. These copyrighted materials led to Activision's copyright claim and subsequent takedown.

The removed projects included "Claude of Duty: Vibe Slops II," which featured AI bots battling on Hijacked and Nuketown 2025 maps, and "Kino der Toten," a recreation of the popular zombie map for single-player. Faraday used "vibe coding" AI to produce these titles.

As AI programming tools lower the barrier for game reverse-engineering and web porting, more classic titles may appear in browsers unofficially. However, the longevity of such projects depends not only on technical execution but also on the copyright and licensing of the original game assets.
