Petition to remaster CoD: Modern Warfare 2 for next-gen hits goal

4.6
The online petition to get Activision to remaster Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox One and PS4 has just hit its goal of 150,000 signatures.

The petition, which is addressed to Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg and Infinity Ward CEO Jason West, states that "Modern Warfare 2 was one of Activision's best game. Just a fun & enjoyable game that really gives you that nostalgia feeling. The guns, maps, kill streaks were just incredible."

It goes on, however, that "At the moment mw2 for the ps3 & xbox is just overrun by hackers. If they remaster the game, & sort a couple things out (e.g noob tubing) it would make a lot of people happy. [sic]"

Unfortunately, it probably won't happen -- even with the petition hitting its goal. We reached out to Activision for comment on the petition and so far we've heard nothing that gives us any sort of inkling that the publisher would remaster one of their past games. And why would they? With a new Call of Duty releasing every year, why would Activision risk cannibalizing its sales? There's already complaints of gamer fatigue when it comes to the Call of Duty franchise; I can't imagine releasing two in one year would help with that, despite how amazing Modern Warfare 2 was.

At the very least, maybe the petition will elicit some sort of response from Activision, but I wouldn't count on it. A representative didn't sound too optimistic.

Update: After hitting its goal of 150,000 the petition has been changed to a goal of 200,000.

If anything it would motivate them to make more games like MW2, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

LiaPosted:

If they did this i would just play this for days and weeks and months and years! Really hope they do this!

XboxPosted:

I would love to have a MW2 remaster.

But it will probably never happen.

SliHPosted:

PryzelPosted:

Brilliant idea in my opinion, really doubt it will be happening anytime soon. But there is always hope.

I don't think petitions have much of an effect on anything.

I can see down sides to this, but they are definitely out weighed by the positives. This would bring in MASSIVE income and would definitely reboot the dying COD franchise

XxOGxX Yeah bring back the game with endless noobtubes and quick scopers trying to get big doing stupid trickshits while having a dummy guy. Please don't remake it. I had my share when I got it on release. Just leave the classis as they were. I loved the game but noooo!!!


Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I enjoyed it too but wouldn't really pick it up if they remade it unless it was for a really cheap price. It would be pretty much the same thing as the 360 without the modders.


Yeah I agree what you are both saying but do you think they would make the same mistake twice and I'm sure if people did that it only be a hit marker.

Also I think that if this keeps going the way it's going it isn't going to be long till they see this and they will need to make there decision.


Here's the thing you all forgot. Modern Warfare 2 wasn't filled with bullshit when it was the newest CoD, only when Black Ops (I think) was released and everyone moved on did all the bull shit come out to it's full potential. If this game is to actually release again I doubt they will allow for the endless noob tubes too, it's an easy fix that many will prefer to the original OMA perk. Also quickscoping has been around forever and it hasn't disappeared so complaining about it is pointless. And just remember the people who WANTED to deal with all that noob tube and sniping shit stayed while the actual players moved on.

TL;DR
The real players moved on, the noob tubers and snipers chose to stay. Endless noob tubes are an easy fix.
