Petition to remaster CoD: Modern Warfare 2 for next-gen hits goal

4.6
The online petition to get Activision to remaster Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox One and PS4 has just hit its goal of 150,000 signatures.

The petition, which is addressed to Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg and Infinity Ward CEO Jason West, states that "Modern Warfare 2 was one of Activision's best game. Just a fun & enjoyable game that really gives you that nostalgia feeling. The guns, maps, kill streaks were just incredible."

It goes on, however, that "At the moment mw2 for the ps3 & xbox is just overrun by hackers. If they remaster the game, & sort a couple things out (e.g noob tubing) it would make a lot of people happy. [sic]"

Unfortunately, it probably won't happen -- even with the petition hitting its goal. We reached out to Activision for comment on the petition and so far we've heard nothing that gives us any sort of inkling that the publisher would remaster one of their past games. And why would they? With a new Call of Duty releasing every year, why would Activision risk cannibalizing its sales? There's already complaints of gamer fatigue when it comes to the Call of Duty franchise; I can't imagine releasing two in one year would help with that, despite how amazing Modern Warfare 2 was.

At the very least, maybe the petition will elicit some sort of response from Activision, but I wouldn't count on it. A representative didn't sound too optimistic.

Update: After hitting its goal of 150,000 the petition has been changed to a goal of 200,000.

I doubt they'll remaster these old games tbh, regardless of how many people want it. They just don't care. Even if they did, I think it'd be a huge let down and it'd be nothing like it was 5, 6, 7 years ago.

That's great , but I doubt they make time to remaster a game when they are probably already working on a project

RIAA If they do remake this, I'm hoping that they release it unchanged (besides enhanced graphics) I'd appreciate them not nerfing the noobtubes at all, it's awesome hearing 10 year olds rage quit.


Your the people who make games bad ******

Dusknoir They wont remake it =/ mw2 days have come and gone and its probably for the best.



I don't know. The franchise has gone downhill since MW2

Tbh it's between CoD 4 and Mw2 that I miss the most, didn't play Mw2 much while it was the new game because the game was pretty much broken for the first 8 months, which sucked but the remastered version will be on my purchase list if it does indeed come out!
