Rumor: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Remastered Still in the Works
Although Activision claims that it has no plans to bring multiplayer and Spec Ops to the recently released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, a popular online leaker believes that multiplayer is on the way for the beloved shooter.
As the name implies, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered comes with the campaign alone. But the original title is one of the more beloved games in the series and is considered one of the most complete games of its genre. The campaign is excellent, but the frantic multiplayer is good for endless hours of fun, and the Spec Ops co-op mode adds wonderful value.
The leaker, TheGamingRevolution, was suspended once from Twitter for accurate Warzone leaks, which could validate his information. He claims that his source is telling him that the multiplayer is actively in the development stage and is currently being testing for Modern Warfare 2 Remastered.
Activision is already off on a bad foot when it comes to the release of Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, as fans are unhappy with the one-month exclusivity for the PS4. Adding multiplayer at some point would certainly be a way to win back fans. Although, if multiplayer had exclusivity to it as well, people may not be happy again.
Some may wonder if the multiplayer of the game would hold up after all these years. The infamous "No Russian" mission doesn't have the same appeal as it once did. But with games like Modern Warfare and Warzone in place, the Call of Duty franchise could be able to handle balance and fair play in those titles, and MW2 Remastered multiplayer can just be old-school chaotic fun.
Recent rumors also point to Modern Warfare 3 being remastered, and it's fair to wonder if the game will go down the campaign only route, or if it will get the full repainting ala the original Modern Warfare Remastered (Call of Duty 4) back in 2016 (there are a lot of Modern Warfare games right now). Perhaps Activision is looking to see how successful Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is, and waiting to release the multiplayer at a later date.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is out now for PS4, with a PC and Xbox One version launching on April 30.
