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.

Dusknoir They wont remake it =/ mw2 days have come and gone and its probably for the best.

There have been multiple petitions that have been up to this many supporters and nothing has been done. This petition won't do anything.

_Behr_ They aren't just going to remaster a game that has 150k signatures, that's nothing. I'd like to see it get a million signatures.


If it hits 1 million they will probably at least address the issue, but I'm sure no matter how many signatures the get they wont remaster it.


Now 1 million signatures would be a lot.

Maybe they don't have to remove the noob tube. They could just nerf it to the damage of a nerf gune, like what they did in MW3.

This would be amazing. They wont do it though.

I honestly hated MW2 when I first played it, constantly getting a grenade launcher hit you from across the map in SnD was annoying. I would, however, like to see a remastered version as I didn't play the original until the next COD was out.

Yoke I wish they would remake COD 4 instead. MW2 is trash IMO.


i wish they would remake CoD4 and MW2. those are the best cods. mw3 is ass


Or if they wouldn't remaster both, combine COD4 and MW2 in one game.
