    It's on of the best COD they have made. The only and big problem it's not a remastered. The game is exactly the same as MW2 in play 3.

    I played MW2 straight after Far Cry 3 and MW2 was much better. It had better action setpeices and it had shooting mechanics that are the best in the genre. It was really addictive!

    Even though there is a LOT and I mean a LOT of hate for Call of Duty, but there are some fantastic games in this franchise, and 2009’s Modern Warfare 2 is most definitely one of them.
    An amazing and intriguing story, a great multiplayer (only available on PS3 and Xbox 360), and of course, being a FPS, it’s easy to see the POV play out very well.

    Местами красиво, но уже довольно скучно по геймплею, и весьма скоротечно, жаль что не добавили мультиплеер, с удовольствием бы освежил впечатления. Пробежал сингл за 2 вечера и забыл. 7/10.

    It does a great job at getting the blood flowing. It is a great remaster of the original. What makes this better than Modern Warfare Remastered is the fact that is was not sold only in a bundle when it came out. I personally appreciate that fact.

    The campaign for MW2 Remaster is a joy to revisit. Smooth gameplay with updated graphics and the same twists and turns that we all know and loved from the original 2009's release. Other than Spec Ops missions missing and the lack of the superior multiplayer experience. This is a great entry in the series for any fans of the COD series new or old.

    Its still good old MW2 from 2009, with new good-looking graphics, good optimisation, new animations and sounds. In some ways, this remaster worse, than MW1 remaster. They decided to not include multiplayer and spec-ops in remaster... idk why, but ok, let it be.

    I mean if you already have the normal game there really is no need to buy it unless you want better graphics and stuff. But the bad part is there is no multiplayer. One of the good thing about it is you get a ghost operator in cod mw 2019 and cod warzone which really isnt necessary if you have the season 2 battle pass in which you already get ghost.

    Mas que un remaster esto es un remake y se nota en su calidad técnica y artística los cuales están a años luz de la original. Es un modo historia de CoD muy recomendable para los amantes de la franquicia ya que roza la excelencia. Quizás su punto más negativo es que su historia sigue igual de mal hilada que en su estreno original pero no mancha lo que es el producto completo.

    Well…this threw me for a loop. I’d been hearing rumors about a remaster of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” for years now, but little did I expect that it would see a surprise release.

I’d been hearing rumors about a remaster of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” for years now, but little did I expect that it would see a surprise release. And little did I expect that the long-awaited remaster would only be roughly half of the game: as the title of this page clearly says, this remaster is, quite literally, just the campaign of the original game for eighth generation platforms. I’ll be honest, though, curiosity got to me with this one: I’m not a huge “Call of Duty” fanatic, but I quite loved the remaster of the first “Modern Warfare” game, and I’ve heard a lot of positive things about “Modern Warfare 2” as well, so I wanted to give the game a shot and see if it was anywhere near the level of the first game. Even if the remaster was just the campaign, that was fine with me, as I’m largely a single-player gamer as it is. After playing it, though, I was left wondering if the hype the game received in 2009 really had anything to do with the campaign.
    Don’t get me wrong, in a lot of ways, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” deserves credit: graphically, the game still looks sharp, and the remaster helps give the visuals a strong-enough facelift that I feel like the game hasn’t aged a day. In terms of the gameplay, it’s still so smooth, and much like the visuals, the controls and general gameplay feel as though they haven’t been touched by time. It still feels good to play, and many of the game’s big moments still do hit hard now. I’m pretty sure everyone remembers the controversial “No Russian” level in the game, and as polarizing as it’s sure to remain, playing the mission myself for the first time did leave me legitimately terrified. It’s a very troubling moment in the game that, like it or not, will most certainly leave an impact that’s hard to forget. Even after so many years, the game is still capable of leaving you tense and surprised around several corners.
    Unfortunately, there’s a lot to this game I find myself disconnected from. As I mentioned above, this new release is simply a remaster of the original game’s campaign, and thus, the multiplayer and Spec Ops modes are excluded. I’ll say that I’m personally not too hurt about that because I don’t have a nostalgic attachment to the modes, and because, at least from a business perspective, I understand that Activision doesn’t want gamers jumping ship from the newest “Call of Duty” game to this game. That said, I do feel like, while $20 might not seem like too steep of an asking price, to me, when given the quality of this campaign, it’s something to think twice about. After all, it is an extremely short game that, to me, is bogged down by several factors. This includes (but is not limited to) some repetitive level design that wears out its welcome too fast, a completely over-the-top story that just feels like the equivalent of a Michael Bay movie (and one that leaves that controversial “No Russian” mission feeling like nothing more than empty edginess and shock value), and gameplay that, while remaining functional so many years later, feels no different than the “Modern Warfare” game that preceded it. And while the experience got a bit more exciting in the second half, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had played this exact game when I played the remaster of the first “Modern Warfare.” Thus, with the campaign itself being a bit underwhelming, the exclusion of the multiplayer and Spec Ops modes does devalue the package a bit. I’ve heard rumors that those are supposedly coming to the game at a later date, and I’m sure it would be a more worthwhile purchase with those features, but right now, it feels empty.
    All in all, I must say that “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,” to me, is the gaming equivalent of a fireworks show: it’s pretty to look at for a few minutes, but it lacks in substance and doesn’t leave enough of a lasting impression, and once it’s all over with, you’re left thinking, “man, that was a lot of noise.” It’s certainly not a bad game, but I can’t help but play this and feel like it was the point in the “Call of Duty” series where Activision knew they could coast, and it was around this point that “Call of Duty” started to feel like a lowest common denominator shooter that stands out thanks to its name-brand value, as opposed to it being a truly special shooter. It’s the point where “Call of Duty” cared less about its campaigns, and more about appealing to the most people possible. No, that’s not a bad thing, but this attitude led to the series feeling more standard, and I think “Modern Warfare 2” was the kickoff to that. As I said, it’s decent, but I can’t recommend paying for this remaster unless you have that deep of a nostalgic connection for the campaign. Maybe rose-colored lenses will help you enjoy this more than I did.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A throwback of an amazing campaign but the one problem. No special ops or multiplayer. The game is £20 for the campaign alone. I would have paid the extra to have multiplayer and special ops at least. Still having the original modern warfare 2 game on Xbox 360 then having the remastered edition on the Xbox one x in 4k the difference is well insanity. But proceed with caution the NO Russian mission where you play as undercover CIA operative is even more messed up than before. With being able to see every fibre on the suit it makes the mission worse in my eyes. It’s exactly the same as the original campaign you remember on the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3 just without the let down with no multiplayer and no special ops missions. I would like to hope activision we will rethink this and bring out a proper remastered MODERN WARFARE 2 like they did call of duty 4 over in 2016 for the 10 year anniversary. I’d like to think 11 years after modern warfare 2 was originally released the could at least give us a multiplayer. But all in all it was an amazing campaign i just think in future they should also bring out the multiplayer map packs and the specials ops they we all came to love during the modern warfare trilogy.… Expand

    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.

    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.
