MWII Composer Distances Herself From The Game

Composer, Sarah Schachner has issued a statement saying that she will no longer be creating any music for Modern Warfare II or Warzone.

Call of Duty is known for its bombastic and cinematic campaigns, [somewhat] fun multiplayer, and of course, iconic music as the series has seen major composers such as Hans Zimmer contribute music to the franchise to create memorable themes and music.

Schachner posted a statement on Twitter saying that she “can no longer continue to compose music” for Activision’s latest shooter and is unhappy with the way her music is being presented for the game. Noting that she doesn’t have any say over how the music is used in the game but believes that the actual soundtrack is not her “artistic intent”. She also called out the game’s unnamed audio director as being “increasingly challenging” and cited it as her reason for moving away from the project.
