Rumor: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Will Not Include MP

4.5
We have some bad news for Call of Duty fans. It's so bad, in fact, that we're inclined to believe that the information is not accurate, but we'll let you be the judge of that. In case you missed it, rumor has it that a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 remaster is in the works. That would be fantastic news, of course, and we were all very excited to hear about it -- though at the time nothing has been confirmed. This morning, however, charlieINTEL is reporting that, according to its source, this remaster will not include a multiplayer mode.

"charlieINTEL has learned new information," the report reads, "about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered from a source that sent us materials from a Raven Software employee indicating Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered does not have a multiplayer mode; it is a campaign only remaster, according to the material charlieINTEL was sent. We believe this information to be accurate."


Sounds totally ludicrous, right? Modern Warfare 2 had one of the best multiplayer modes in the entire series (the best, in this author's opinion). How on earth would it make sense to anyone within Activision Blizzard to launch this game without its celebrated multiplayer mode? We're inclined to toss this rumor in the trash-bin due to the "wtf" factor alone, but then, there's this one really sticky problem...

The Amazon Italy listing which first leaked the apparent existence of Modern Warfare 2 Remastered did have it listed for a pretty low price. The game showed up there for around $25 USD, which was baffling considering Modern Warfare Remastered was priced at $40. At first we thought that the low price was an indication that the listing was fake, but now we're lamenting the fact that it could be confirmation that it will only come with the single-player campaign.

Don't get us wrong, Modern Warfare 2 has a fantastic single-player campaign, but it's not what we were getting excited about; that's not what would have sold this remaster for us.

Activision, if you're reading this, please listen to your fans: We love MW2 multiplayer, and that's what we're excited to get our hands on. If this remaster is campaign-only, then we need to see Modern Warfare 2 made backward compatible on Xbox One at the very least.

Really hope this isn't true ... if so nobody would be buying , honestly I didn't even like COD4 remastered & I loved the OG COD4 .

Epcot Its a little late. They wont take over fortnite.


MW2 was the height of call of duty. If the no MP reports are false and it releases with multiplayer there is a good chance that it will put a good dent in the Fortnite playerbase.

If this is true, I won't be purchasing. The campaign was good, but it wasn't the campaign that had me staying up all night, that was the multiplayer. I'm hoping it's some pre-April Fools prank but if not, I'm going to be genuinely upset lol.

That's unfortunate however true or not I'm still buying it I loved the campaign one of the best imo.

Uhh well it is almost April.. I'm thinking they'll say this on April 1st, then bam after April fools so on April 2nd they'll announce itt'll have MP, it would be an elaborate April fools joke too lol

MazePosted:

Hahahhahaha this would be the final nail in the coffin for cod.
This absolutely has to be a joke.

I hope this is exactly what it is said to be a "Rumor" because this is honestly dumb no sense in making a game just for campaign imo MP is way better if they do this I will be leaving COD in the past switching to games like BF, Rainbow Six and Fortnite. Sad part is I dont doubt this, BO3 released and for 360 they made it MP only so who knows anymore.
