    While I probably should have guessed that trusting the opinion of my 12 yo self about the quality of MW2 would end up letting me down, for some reason, I actually went into this port expecting a great single player campaign. Pretty stupid of me.

    What I ended up playing was a short, bland, boring slog of a campaign which does it's best to smash every possible modern war cliche into it's 4-hour runtime. I couldn't tell you the plot because I would honestly just doze off every time a "cutscene" would play, bored by the tedium of listening to Generic Army Guy #4 talk to Generic Army Guy #8 over a global map. The characters aren't memorable, the locations, with a few exceptions, are forgettable, weapons feel weak and your teammates/enemies blend in with the background so often it becomes a chore to pay attention to what is going on during combat.

    I don't know why I allowed myself to expect something from a CoD campaign but I was let down and that's considering I didn't even pay for it (PS+).    … Expand

    Overpriced and recycled military shooter made for CoD fanboys they just added better graphics that's it. Only sheep waste their money for the same trash

    Then there's the underwater propulsion vehicles the navy uses, they do not produce bubbles, nor should the rebreathers.    … Expand

    Just a port, nothing of interest. What's the point in just campaign? This is only worthwhile with multiplayer. It's a straight port. No MW's gunplay or anything

    The Level design is so bad and the gameplay is good enough but the price isn't worth it at all

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is an attempt to earn fast money in a problematic period for the industry, when most of the planet's inhabitants are hiding in their homes and apartments. You can finish the story campaign in just five hours, and there is no multiplayer. In addition, in Russia and Ukraine, the developers managed to spoil the story due to the removal of a mission critical to the plot, which, along with the average graphics and other problems of the project, is disappointing. The original MW2 deserves the same respect as the first Modern Warfare game.

    It’s a well-made remaster but also one without which we could easily get by. Only for those who didn’t play the original game in the first place. [06/2020, p.58]

    MW2 Campaign Remastered is everything you can expect from a remaster of one of the best CoD campaigns and FPS campaigns in general. It looks better, it feels better, even with its occasional audio issues. Still, it is a bit short, and unless you are a true fan or just nostalgic about those days you played it, it is hard to recommend to anyone else, due to its lack of multiplayer and lack of longevity.
