Gameplay-wise, this is basically the same Call of Duty we’ve all grown used to.
The soundtrack might not exactly be something you’ll remember in the near future, but given the kind of game, I didn’t mind mainly paying attention at rifle sounds and Soap MacTavish telling me to throw a grenade at a bunch of Russian soldiers every three seconds.
The sound department is also as competent as it was back in 2009 with great voice acting, even including celebrities like Keith David, and great sound effects. No glitches to be found, no crashes, no nothing. The game also runs at a silky smooth 60 frames per second at all times, without ever dipping for a millisecond. It didn’t receive a lot of visual enhancements, namely improved lighting effects and better textures, but what is there is really impressive. For a game released in 2009, it does look amazing in 2020. You can say what you want about the way this remaster is being released, be it because of its reduced amount of content or its ridiculous timed exclusivity, but this is one well-polished product. The pinnacle of gaming controversy back in 2009. All it received was visual and performance upgrades, things we can easily accept with open arms. On the other hand, it is arguably the best campaign in Call of Duty history, without the introduction of any shady mechanics Activision loves to put in its remakes and remasters. In a way, that makes the game way too pricey for what it offers once you beat the campaign, all you can do is replay it, possibly on a different difficulty setting. For 20 bucks, you get a revamped version of the original campaign mode released in 2009. No extra missions, no multiplayer, no microtransactions. In fact, this includes only its (massively acclaimed) campaign mode. This isn’t exactly the full version of Modern Warfare 2 released for the current generation of consoles. Some are for the best, while others are controversial at the very least. Thankfully, they did a better job with the surprise release of the remastered version of Modern Warfare 2, although there are lots of caveats in here. It was initially tied to a premium version of yet another yearly Call of Duty and also had the inclusion of previously absent microtransactions. I’m looking forward to the Call of Duty basketball spinoff.Īctivision did release a remastered version of the first Modern Warfare game a few years ago and it was panned for how it handled its release.
