MW2 × Skate 3
× Minecraft.

Three familiar games. A different way to play.

You’ll need

Windows x64 and Modern Warfare 2 (2009), including its multiplayer files. Steam is the creator’s tested edition.

For skating: your own extracted Xbox 360 Skate 3 files and an Xbox/XInput controller.

4 steps

Download and extract
Get 2010-Rust-Rewrite-Mashup-windows-x64.zip from the release. Extract it into its own writable folder, outside Program Files.
Choose MW2
Open iw4l.exe. Confirm your MW2 installation, or choose the folder containing iw4mp.exe and zone.
Add skating, if you want it
Select Skate 3’s extracted default.xex, with its data folder beside it. Connect your controller. Choose No to continue without skating.
Try your first map
Choose a map from Create Game. If you added Skate 3, press J or click both controller sticks to get on or off the board. Use the controller to skate.

Try the Minecraft world

Pick the map: Open Create Game, choose the Minecraft tab, then select overworld.
First run: This mode downloads about 125 MB of Minecraft data. It needs Internet access and curl, included with Windows 10 and 11.
Explore: Use WASD and the mouse to move. E opens the inventory. With a block selected, right-click to place it; with an empty hand, left-click to mine.

Returning & troubleshooting

Open it again: Run iw4l.exe from the same extracted folder. Setup is remembered. Minecraft World.bat opens the Minecraft route directly.
MW2 isn’t found: Select the main MW2 (2009) folder containing its multiplayer executable and zone. DLC files alone are not enough.
Skate 3 isn’t accepted: Select the extracted default.xex and keep data beside it. A raw ISO is not accepted. The creator guide covers extraction.
The Minecraft download fails: Check your Internet connection and that curl is available, then relaunch.
Known issues in v0.4.0: The skateboard is invisible on some maps. Bot matches can have lower performance.
