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 did some research on this petition site, and you can just buy signatures.. Meaning if you pay X dollars for your cause, you get X additional signatures for your cause.

That kinda brings down the credibility of the signature amount.

I would love, love, LOVE for this to happen. You all have no idea.

Got the game when I was 12 years old the day it came out, Still playing it like it's brand new.

GSA OH.MY.GOD ! how can you not want this !?


Are you forgetting all the nubetubes, snipers and everything else that ruined the game?

Noobtubes, 360 no scopes, Hackers, noobtubes, no point.


Hackers won't be on the game any more since it is Xbox One/PS4 :P


Just because a game is on a different console does NOT mean it is 100% safe.


As far as I know, they're aren't any modified consoles on the new consoles.

d0xy A remaster of MW2 can be a big hit if Activision can fix some of the game's most popular issues:

1. Hacked lobbies: This was the biggest game breaking issue for MW2. I remember spending hours with my cousin trying to get into one of these lobbies and when we did, we got to 9th prestige because it had the best looking emblems and were also left with some cool see-through-walls mod. Good times, but it ruined the magic of the game for us - we had everything. All the camos, all the emblems, and we decided to make new accounts to rank up to 10th prestige again. It was worth it.

2. OMA/Noobtube nerf: This might be a bit controversial because I loved to run around noobtubing as I'm sure many MW2 players did but nerfing this would only make the game more balanced. I know balance is a joke in MW2 when it comes to weapons and killstreaks but nerfing noobtubes will make the game more fair for the majority of CoD players, especially the newer ones who didn't get a chance to experience MW2 in it's prime.

3. Competitive playlist: I've been a competitive CoD player since MW2 and I love it. BO2 had the best version with league play and I'm sure Activision can integrate a competitive playlist for MW2, preferably with a seperate ranking system. If they can enable party chat in SnD just for this playlist and balanced matchmaking then this can be a great playlist.

4. Make all DLC free: It would be stupid for Activision to charge us for a 6 year old game's DLC. Since the game might not sell well since its a remaster it would make sense for them to charge you for each DLC but if they absolutely have to then at least charge half the price.

5. Bring in new playlists: Infected, or maybe even give Michael Myers its own playlist, maybe add in a sniping only playlist.

6. Market the hell out of this remaster.


For now, with only 160,000 signatures we are only scratching the surface. Our goal is 200k right now but by next year we'll hopefully have north of a million. We need to convince Activision.


You're taking this WAY too seriously lol, MW2 wasn't even that good lol

Give it time, hackers will be on live again, in fact a Xbone dev kit was leaked not that long ago.

GearzyTVPosted:

To be fair, the graphical difference would hardly change, only a rise in FPS would most likely happen. A stupid petition with how little difference the console quality has changed. Give it like 10 years and then consider remaking it.

Playing MW2 on next gen consoles would be dope as hell! The graphics would be amazing, they would possible need to get rid of the nubetubes though.
