Dev rebuilds Modern Warfare 2 source code with AI agents

Original: Dev used AI agents and more than 500 billion tokens to rebuild Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's source code Maurice Heum

Developer Maurice Heumann has reconstructed the source code of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 using AI agents including Claude and Codex, consuming more than 500 billion tokens in the process. The rebuild reportedly matches the original game's functions byte for byte in 83% of cases, a striking demonstration of AI's ability to reverse-engineer complex commercial software.

Why now: The scale and accuracy of the AI-driven reconstruction is a landmark example of AI agents tackling serious software engineering work.
