Aside from the maps being removed from Fortnite, Mist Jawa also said in their main tweet that they “removed all tweets and YT videos related to the topic.” Mist Jawa told Kotaku that they had received a DMCA takedown notice requesting the removal of their Call of Duty map recreations.

While Mist Jawa has removed any footage of their CoD recreations in Fortnite, a tweet from esports commentator Jake Lucky tweeted out some footage of one of Jawa’s maps, featuring first-person shooting and a build of Call of Duty’s infamous “Rust” map.

Kotaku has reached out to Activision, and Epic Games for comment.

While it’s no surprise to see action taken against these maps after Epic Games explicitly stated that it wasn’t allowed, map recreations in different games are nothing new. Halo’s own Forge map creator has been used to recreate Call of Duty maps ever since the feature appeared in Halo 3.

Though Halo’s Forge and other map creation tools in other games haven’t had the same built-in monetization economy like the Fortnite creator program does, Epic Games has stated that recreations aren’t allowed to even be built using the Unreal Editor tool, let alone published or monetized, making it an especially strict policy.
