User blog comment:Bovell/Popular Modern Warfare 2 mod, alterIWNet, shutdown by Activision/@comment-1713210-20120313031127

All of this seems real bizarre to me, not only because I'm an almost regular player on the alterIWNet servers for MW2 [and even Black Ops and MW3], but also because it seems like Activision's move is based on.. nothing actually. The game is a mod of MW2, not a pirated copy or anything like that, the name even says so: "alter" as in "alternative" or "modification". Activision has no reason for shutting down their operations, and I think they're actually doing a great disservice for themselves in the long run. Either way, to anyone who has ever played on these servers, it has been nice playing with you.
