She has also been working on the soundtrack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 before the game’s release.
Schachner was also working on the soundtrack for the upcoming release of Warzone 2.0.
The soundtrack for the game, which is most of the year’s best-selling titles, was set to be sold separately for fans.
However, Schachner has announced that she is no longer sure when the game will be released as it is “out of her hands.”
The disagreements seem to be related to creative differences between Schachner and the audio director.
In a statement written by Schachner she says: “Over the past couple of months, the working dynamic with the audio director has become increasingly challenging, and I don’t see a path forward.”
She goes on to praise many of her other co-workers, including musicians Mike Dean and Frank Wolf.
Schachner also revealed that the music that will be released on the soundtrack is not her “artistic intent.”

She wrote: “What will be released on the soundtrack is not my artistic intent in regards to mixing and mastering.
“We have soundtrack masters in hand from Mike [Dean], which unfortunately you will never get to hear.”
She ends her statement by claiming that she is leaving the project in order for her music to remain “authentic”.
The statement reads: “I feel a responsibility to the fans to remain authentic in my approach with the game and its sound, which I have been creating for many years.”
Schachner also composed the soundtracks for other Call of Duty titles including; Infinite Warfare, the Modern Warfare reboot, and completed the arrangements for Modern Warfare 3.
Fans were disappointed to hear of Schachner’s departure, and praised her for remaining true to her music.
It is unclear who will take over from Schacher at this time.
