Activision's Crackdown on Call of Duty Fan Projects Continues.

X Labs, a fan game project that allowed players to play modded versions of Call of Duty, has shut down following a cease-and-desist order from Activision. The project complied with the order and permanently ceased all operations. Modding has been popular within the Call of Duty community, but it's important to note that game publishers and developers have the right to protect their intellectual property and enforce their terms of service. The shutdown disappointed the CoD fanbase, and many look forward to another solution to continue experiencing the fascinating CoD gameplay.
