Activision Reportedly Takes Down Fan-Made Call of Duty Browser Games, Including a Zombies Remake

In Short

• Developer Luckey Faraday says Activision sent a DMCA takedown notice over their unofficial Call of Duty browser projects.
• The projects included fan-made browser recreations of Black Ops II and Black Ops Zombies content, including a “Kino der Toten” Zombies remake.
• According to the developer, the related posts were removed and every one of the games is now offline, with no plan to bring them back.

If you were playing the fan-made Call of Duty games that ran in a web browser, they are gone. As first reported by GameRiv, developer Luckey Faraday said on X that Activision issued a DMCA notice against the projects, and that the posts were removed and all of the games went offline.

Activision Reportedly Pulled the Call of Duty Browser Remakes Offline

Faraday summed it up bluntly, saying Activision had DMCA’d them for porting CoD to the browser. A DMCA notice is a formal copyright takedown request, and hosting platforms usually remove the targeted content quickly once one arrives. That matches what happened here: the links stopped working, and the statement gives no return date or relaunch plan.

Activision has not publicly commented on the takedown, so the account so far comes from the developer’s own statement.

What the Fan Projects Actually Were

These were not leaked copies of the real games. One repository, called “Claude of Duty: Vibe Slops II”, described itself as an unofficial browser-based FPS reconstruction and stated that it had no affiliation with or endorsement from Activision, Treyarch, Microsoft or Anthropic.

Another, “Kino der Toten”, recreated the well-known Black Ops Zombies map in the browser. Its description listed rounds, barricades, weapons, perks, the Mystery Box, teleporting and Pack-a-Punch, which is a big part of why it caught attention: it looked and played like classic Zombies with nothing to install.

Even with disclaimers, using a publisher’s game names, maps and setting is risky. A “not affiliated” note does not give anyone the right to recreate copyrighted content, and big publishers regularly protect their brands this way, especially when a fan project starts spreading on social media.

What This Means for You

If you had these games bookmarked, they will not load anymore, and copies that pop up on random mirror sites are worth avoiding, since unofficial re-uploads are a common way to spread junk ads or malware. If you want to play real Call of Duty, you still need the official releases on console or PC.

If what you liked was the instant, no-download shooter in a browser tab, there are original browser games built for exactly that, and they are not going anywhere.
