Activision Takedowns AI-Ported Call of Duty Web Games

Developer Luckey Faraday used AI agents and Three.js to port Call of Duty maps to the web, creating projects like 'Claude of Duty: Vibe Slops II' and 'Kino der Toten'. These games were subsequently taken down following a DMCA copyright complaint by Activision. This case highlights how AI coding tools are significantly lowering the barrier to entry for game porting and reverse engineering, while simultaneously underscoring the ongoing collision between generative AI capabilities and intellectual property rights. The unauthorized web games utilized original Call of Duty maps, 3D models, and animations, making a copyright takedown inevitable despite disclaimers. The projects were developed using the Three.js library and AI-assisted 'vibe coding' techniques.
