    Ok remaster, the performance was good, graphics also seem fine. Of course no mechanics have been improved since the original release but the game is still fun.

    What do you need for the good remastered game? It's all subjective, but, as for me, I prefer what they exactly did with the first Modern Warfare: all the same but better graphics. And perhaps something additional, like easter eggs. What else do you need for the remastered version of the single player of the multiplayer targeted game? It's a first person shooter that requires you to go from A to B, killing your enemies all the way, not some Far Cry-like single player game, you know what I mean.

    I'm a big fan of the single player campaign. MW2 may not have the best plot in CoD series, especially compared with Black Ops1-2, but the game is definitely superior at atmosphere and immersion. The plot may be like "Russia Bad, 'Murica Good", but It is only on the surface, trust me. As for the immersion and atmosphere, you know, this is the first and last CoD that gave me such cinematographic experience. Black Ops1-2 and MW3 tried so bad, but they couldn't reach the level of MW2. All of this I'm talking for the "Modern Warfare 2" released in 2009. What went wrong and why did I gave the remastered version 0 points?

    1. Something is wrong with the soundtrack. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I don't. It was critical for me since MW2 soundtrack is the best in CoD series IMHO plus it suits it best.

    2. Facial expressions and animations that made it look like it was some acting scene from kindergarten. In short, a lot of inappropriate moves of the characters, unnecessary pauses, but what was unforgiving point for me was the changes they made for the character of General Shepherd. You can say anything you want, but when you force your character to look evil just like the caricature it's not a good idea. Shepherd doesn't throw you at the beginning "Team Player" mission, for example. The old Shepherd was an antagonist but he was an american patriot, almost like the character from Dr. Strangelove film. The new Shepherd is a caricature, the developers of the remastered version treat the gamers like "Look, He is evil! He is bad!". I have no idea guys why it happened to be like this but it's such a shame for the company that makes AAA games. Really? messing up at animations?

    3. Original MW1 and MW2 were made with the same engine, but you could literally see the difference. But this isn't going to go with the remasters of these two. MW2R is basically a MW1R with different levels and guns (gun sounds are the same though).

    4. Bad timing at the end of the game where it says "developed by Infinity Ward". Doesn't match with the music. Yeah, I know, it's such a little thing, but, you see, from such moments you become aware of the real treatment towards the consumers. That was a very lazy move guys, I'm just shocked.

    And all this for 20$? If you're a fan of the game and want to be disappointed by yourself, take it when it's sales time.

    Almost 10 years of waiting and we've got this. All of the gaming community knows that It would have been much better for them If they just left the CoD series to the real&true Infinity Ward. I'm 100% sure that they would make the remastered version better.    … Expand

    More beautiful graphics in Remaster is, of course, a good idea, but nothing more. Just improving the graphics of the old game for 2020, in my opinion, are laziness and greed. Because such Remaster completely preserves not only the story, but also all those flaws of game mechanics and game design that were forgivable for the old game once upon a time. But not in the games of 2020 year.More beautiful graphics in Remaster is, of course, a good idea, but nothing more.

    Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is an excellent Remaster. Modern Warfare 2 is one of the best parts of the series. For 2020, the picture is not bad, there are minor improvements, it has become more pleasant to shoot with weapons. And what the hell does MW 2019 need? When there's this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't have much to say about this game apart from what I have already said about the first installment of the remastered series. It is still a great game and a great remaster. The interesting thing is MW2 Remastered was released 4 years after the first remaster but looks, feels and runs completely the same.

    Now more about the game itself - it is as awesome as the firsr Modern Warfare. The story in this one is certainly more consistent and intriguing. I didn't expect it to be a direct successor to the MW 1 but that what it wound out to be and I was pleasantly surprised. The story took its time to develop and by the end of the second act I thought I certainly going to rate MW 2 higher than MW 1 because though the first act was more or less the same as in the first one the second one definitely is the best in the series so far. The third act was rather average and considering MW 1 was more balanced throughout the whole campaign I decided to rate them equally - 8 out of 10.

    P.S. What I didn't like is lack of motivation or at least clear explanation for Shepherd's betrayal. They tried to provide some explanation by the end but if I understood the motivation right then the motivation is kind of weird to say at least.    … Expand

    Moreover, the actual game-play is also interrupted by cut-scenes way too often, during which you're completely safe and the game makes its choices for you, all at the expense of immersion and fun.    … Expand

    Activision is disgrace. They didn't include multiplayer. And they said as the reason, that they don't want to split player base.

    I was very immersed and enjoyed it. Among the story games I've played so far, it's one of the top three games. The downside is that it is definitely less play time compared to other games. It was cleared in only five to six hours. It's too little time for the price.

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.    … Expand
