The CD case was all warped due to heat, the CD didn't survive either :/

How long was it there? Some years, i think

How was this all possible in 1995 but we had to wait for modders to make the latest MW have those features?

Because PGI are an absolute cumstain of a company that broke their promises of what they were going to do with the franchise right at the get go.

They watered down the flagship product (MW:Online) of them taking over the franchise to "appeal to a wider audience", while cramming in greedy pay-to-win micro-transactions and alienated and pissed off all the long time fans that paid into the crowdfunding.

When revenue tanked, everything after that was progressively more "minimum viable product that has to work on an Xbox pad held by a five year old with one eye".

Edit: If they ever do anything else with the franchise, I fully expect it to be 100% AI slop development and artwork.
