Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remaster launches tomorrow

4.8
A remastered version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's campaign will launch tomorrow, 31st March, according to a leaked PlayStation Store listing Eurogamer understands to be accurate.

This confirmation comes after a raft of details were unearthed over the weekend by a dataminer peering into this week's update for fellow COD titles Modern Warfare (2019) and battle royale Warzone, each of which will promote the new remaster.

Last night, a Twitter account which accurately dated Call of Duty Warzone stated Modern Warfare 2 Remastered had a 30th March release date - close, but not quite.

And before all that, the remaster's wordy official title - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Campaign Remastered - was spotted on a video games rating board.



sources suggest the remaster has been sat awaiting release for quite some time - Activision has simply been waiting for the right time to release it, as other Call of Duty games come and go with and without story modes themselves.

A release alongside 2018's campaign-less Black Ops 4, for example, would have looked like Activision was leaving out a traditional element of the Call of Duty package only to sell a remastered campaign mode separately.

The original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was remastered all the way back in 2016.

In case it needs repeating, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Campaign Remastered is the story mode of Modern Warfare 2 only. There's no multiplayer here, though multiplayer maps are being added to last year's Modern Warfare instead.

The German store listing has its price set at €25 (around £22), and states the campaign has been "completely remastered with improved textures, animations, physical rendering, HDR lighting, and more".

Campaign only, the biggest let down in gaming: 2020.

Claims are they will add the MW2 maps into CoD 4 Remastered I can understand it to stop the player base getting split but people won't like it.

Hopefully multiplayer will come but I don't see why they would be in a rush as most of the "new" maps in the current cod are just old maps

Cookie Smh why just the campaign. COD has to get it together. And $30 for a campaign? No thanks.


It should be obvious why theres no MP

Why split the community by releasing MP of what was arguable the most popular MP game of the 360 era. Modern Warfare numbers would tank
