    Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is a mostly commanding return of the game's classic single-player, though not without a few hiccups.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Campaign Remastered brings back one of the best CoD games in full HD, giving the opportunity to focus once again on its brilliant campaign.

    Neat shooter remake, which despite its plot weaknesses entertains just as well as back then. Without multiplayer, it is, however, a rather thin package.

    Thank goodness for all of its memorable, Michael Bay-style blockbuster moments, because in 2020 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is competing for our attention with its own very impressive reboot. In that light, the generic shooting-gallery gameplay of Modern Warfare 2’s campaign feels dated – after so many games we’re onto the magician’s trick now. The new Modern Warfare has largely pushed the series past this for the better. So while this remaster is still a fun ride that looks impressively current, it’s lost a lot of its punch. Some of that is due to the advances of time, but it’s mostly because it’s been bested by...itself.

    A fresh coat of paint, while aesthetically pleasing, cannot hide the tone-deaf, greedy tactics behind this mess of a remake.

I think theThe game suffers from the same optimization issues that MWR had. It also doesn't feel as big of a step up as the first one did. I think the game is fine without multiplayer and spec ops but when judged as a remaster to an already existing game, it doesn't hold up.

    I also noticed that the difficulty seems to have been artificially increased on all levels, making the game a challenge on all difficulties. I wanted to play through on regular first to stop and smell the roses but it felt more like hardened. I went back to the original MW2 to check and that seemed to be the case.

    Overall it doesn't feel like a big step up from the original MW2 and I hope they fix some of the optimizations issues (but given MWR's track record I don't think that will happen.) If they remaster MW3 (I hope not), they seriously need to use their new engine (used for CoD 2019) because their old one is showing it's age.    … Full Review »
