Sarah Schachner, the composer for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 soundtrack has stated that she is no longer working on the project.
Writing on Twitter, Schachner addressed players who have been asking when the soundtrack would be available to stream and download. She stated: “I am sad to say I can no longer continue to compose music for Modern Warfare II / Warzone.
“Over the past couple of months the working dynamic with the audio director has become increasingly challenging and I don’t see any path forward.
“as of now, I am unsure of the status and release plan for the soundtrack as it’s been taken out of my hands.”
Schachner went onto explain that she did not approve of the soundtrack and that it didn’t meet the standards she wanted it to:
“While I don’t have any control over how the music is presented in-game, what will be released on the soundtrack is not my artistic intent in regards to mixing and mastering.
“Mike Dean was part of the creative vision for the album as well as mixer Frank Wolf. We have soundtrack masters in hand from Mike which unfortunately you will never get to hear.
“I would like to acknowledge the incredible hard work of the audio team as a whole, and I hope you still enjoy it because I put so much work and effort into it. The score features some wonderful performances by musicians Baseck, Brian Mantia, and M.B. Gordy.
“I’m truly appreciative of the outreach so far and I feel a responsibility to my fans to remain authentic in my approach with the game and its sound which I have been a part of creating for many years.”
Schachner previously composed music for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. She also composed music for Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Assassin’s Creed Unity. Additionally, she worked on Anthem for EA.
