Rumor: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Will Not Include MP

4.5
We have some bad news for Call of Duty fans. It's so bad, in fact, that we're inclined to believe that the information is not accurate, but we'll let you be the judge of that. In case you missed it, rumor has it that a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 remaster is in the works. That would be fantastic news, of course, and we were all very excited to hear about it -- though at the time nothing has been confirmed. This morning, however, charlieINTEL is reporting that, according to its source, this remaster will not include a multiplayer mode.

"charlieINTEL has learned new information," the report reads, "about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered from a source that sent us materials from a Raven Software employee indicating Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered does not have a multiplayer mode; it is a campaign only remaster, according to the material charlieINTEL was sent. We believe this information to be accurate."


Sounds totally ludicrous, right? Modern Warfare 2 had one of the best multiplayer modes in the entire series (the best, in this author's opinion). How on earth would it make sense to anyone within Activision Blizzard to launch this game without its celebrated multiplayer mode? We're inclined to toss this rumor in the trash-bin due to the "wtf" factor alone, but then, there's this one really sticky problem...

The Amazon Italy listing which first leaked the apparent existence of Modern Warfare 2 Remastered did have it listed for a pretty low price. The game showed up there for around $25 USD, which was baffling considering Modern Warfare Remastered was priced at $40. At first we thought that the low price was an indication that the listing was fake, but now we're lamenting the fact that it could be confirmation that it will only come with the single-player campaign.

Don't get us wrong, Modern Warfare 2 has a fantastic single-player campaign, but it's not what we were getting excited about; that's not what would have sold this remaster for us.

Activision, if you're reading this, please listen to your fans: We love MW2 multiplayer, and that's what we're excited to get our hands on. If this remaster is campaign-only, then we need to see Modern Warfare 2 made backward compatible on Xbox One at the very least.

I also have a hard time believing this. The MP of this game is iconic, even though it's flawed in a lot of areas (Danger Close, One Man Army, Explosives, Commando...). If I had t put my money on MP or not, I'd definitely go with the MP. I cannot imagine them releasing it without the actual multiplayer, there will be a massive backlash for them if they go through with that.

They are going to have multiplayer when it first get released like modern warfare remastered if they didn't then it wouldn't make sense

For everyone saying it's a dumb decision, first off.. the game was found to be listed on Amazon at $25. $25! And on top of that... other rumors project a late April release. This IS NOT meant to compete with RDR2, Fortnite, or BF 2018.

If you ask me, pay 25 now for a campaign, then the rest later if they decide to add multiplayer.


Remember, MWR did NOT have MP until a month later.

That is ridiculous, the MP will take few hours that's it and then I'm done. Whole reason majority of people want this is because of its MP. Either this is very low quality rumour or whoever is making it are retarded.

I completely quit playing the multiplayer of Cod games anyhow. I'm perfectly happy for just campaign, hate if you want.

TTGPosted:

I highly doubt they will do this, it's just a rumor as well. There no money to be made from supply drops and the two dlcs from this game so I'm calling B.S. on this rumor.

MikePosted:

idk what logic this is!? why would they do this!

StevieMac1690Posted:

Im calling BS. Activision shipped MWR with that IW garbage to sell copies of it. Theres no way they wont ship it without MP.

VoroPosted:

Bad move. If they want to compete with RDR2, Fortnite, and BF, they need to step up their game
