Activision confirms no plans to remaster Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer

It’s official, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been remastered (and you can buy it now on PS4) but with one caveat: It’s only the campaign. The game’s beloved multiplayer will be missing from the new surprise release and that’s for a specific reason.

Last year, Infinity Ward released their reimagining of Modern Warfare. They’ve slowly been putting more and more content from the original trilogy in the new game’s multiplayer and are going to continue to do so. With fan-favorite maps like Rust and Crash already in the mix, Infinity Ward plans to essentially remake Modern Warfare 2 inside of Modern Warfare.

Of course, it probably won’t be “the same”. There are big differences between MW2 and MW2019 but it’s something, I guess! You can take a look at Activision’s official statement on the matter below.

“Beginning with Modern Warfare last year, the focus has been to bring players together seamlessly in one unified online multiplayer playground. With cross-play, releasing new post-launch maps, modes, weapons and more content drops for free, and launching Warzone, the Free-to-Play, Free-for-Everyone new Call of Duty experience, the Modern Warfare universe will expand, bringing new experiences to players.

“We’ve played iconic Modern Warfare series maps of past returning in the new Modern Warfare, including classic maps like Rust, Shipment, Crash and Vacant. Plus, in Warzone we’ve also experienced classic Modern Warfare series locations like Gulag and Boneyard in new ways.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is out now on PS4. The game will release on Xbox One and PC on April 30th.
