Modern Warfare Remastered brings back original MP announcer, and more

4.7

Modern Warfare Remastered developer Raven has revealed a bunch of new details about the anticipated remake.

The multiplayer part of the Modern Warfare remaster is one of the big reasons many are anxious to return to the game. This mode was playable at Call of Duty XP last month, and developer Raven has spent sometime sifting through fan feedback from the show.

Lead designer Amos Hodge took to Twitter to clarify a number of key questions brought up by the community since, and confirm a few other tidbits. First up, the iconic multiplayer announcer from the original game will return for all classic modes.

On the subject of sounds, some weapon sounds have been updated, such as for the Desert Eagle, RPD, M40A3, and others. Hodge said their sound will now closely match the original.

As for the available playlists, Hodge confirmed that the original launch playlists will all be there in the remake, in addition to new ones for new modes.

Private matches – to many players’ relief, will have all create-a-class items unlocked from the start. This means weapons, attachments, perks, killstreaks etc will all be available when you pick a private match.

In terms of gameplay, strafe jumping, a tactic many used in the original Modern Warfare, will indeed be possible in the remaster.

Modern Warfare Remastered is only available as part of the Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition. Activision previously said it won’t be sold separately, though that could change.

For those with digital pre-orders of the same edition on PlayStation 4, the campaign will be unlocked on October 5. Multiplayer goes live on November 4, alongside Infinite Warfare’s.

Hardwick Really hope they add sold school mode, loved that!

It won't be Call of Duty 4 without that gamemode

That was a great playlist. Although, I honestly only care about cage match. I'm a huge 1v1 buff.

I can't wait. I doubt I'll buy Infinite Warfare but I do hope this becomes available for purchase after the game launches some time. Would love to play Michael Myers again, the classics! :P

Alli Still wondering if Old School mode is in the game?
I guess it could be since old school free for all was one of the game modea and they did say all of then would be in it

Hopefully. Old school mode was the sh!t back then haha

I see how people didn't like the generic announcers in the shown footage but I wouldn't care either way it's Cod 4!

I can't wait to play this game with so many of my old buddies from back in the day. Going to be a lot of fun.

It's cool to hear that they have changed the sounds of the weapons for the game to look cool in the way, so people think this game have changed all together. Hope they've changed the abilty to scope in with the 50. Bal becuase in the game Cod4 the 50. Cal is bit bouncy when aiming in.

Some weapon sounds have been updated? No. lol. All of the weapons have been, some are slight, and some are a big difference. Only complaint is that the eagle and the 50. cal sound completely different but at the same time I cant wait for this though.
