Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Seemingly Confirmed

4 years 1 month ago
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered has been rated in South Korea, all but confirming a release for the unannounced game Twitter user Nibel posted a link to the South Korean ratings board website, which says the rating had been awarded late last month. No platforms are listed with the rating. To be clear, this would be a straight remaster of the single-player portion of 2009's Modern Warfare 2, not a follow-up to last year's new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Names are confusing these days. This listing seems to point to the game being released as a standalone, rather than as a pack-in with a brand new Call of Duty game - unlike the first Modern Warfare remaster, which was initially included with the Legacy Edition of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/09/29/history-of-awesome-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2"] We first heard about the possibility of a Modern Warfare 2 Remaster in 2018, when an Amazon listing seemed to reveal it. Follow-up reports explained that the game would be a single player-only experience, with multiplayer not getting the same treatment - something held up by this ratings listing. We awarded the original Modern Warfare 2 - known as much for its infamous No Russian level as its influential FPS gameplay - a 9.5/10 review, saying it was "hands-down one of the best first-person shooters out there", but bemoaning its short campaign mode. We called the first Modern Warfare remaster "an enlightening time capsule for a style of Call of Duty that no longer exists", awarding it an 8.5 review.

Berate him like they did on Xbox Live in the old days on Twitter.
