AI ported Black Ops 2 to the browser: Claude refused, GLM-5.3 did it for a fraction of the cost

- A developer ported the Black Ops 2 "Hijacked" map to the browser, dubbing the project "Claude of Duty: Vibe Slops II."
- Claude initially refused to work on it, so the build started with GLM-5.3, GLM-5.3 Flash, and Qwen3.8-Max — at a fraction of Claude's cost.
- Agents spent roughly 12 hours reverse-engineering the original PC game files while scraping the web for map positions, assets, weapon models, textures, animations, and sounds to build a skeleton, after which Claude and other models were brought in to finish.
- The game is now playable in the browser; a quote-tweet notes Claude refused while GLM did the job cheaper.
