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 it does happen, it won't sell as much as it did on 360. I will be someone who doesn't even buy it as I can stick to playing it on the 360. I'd rather have Modern Warfare 3 to be remastered as the Multiplayer is better on it. Modern Warfare 3 was the most sold CoD and bringing Modern Warfare 2 to next-gen won't change that.

TH9 They shouldn't do this. It won't sell as much as all of you guys who are "experts" (lolol) think it will


You sure about that? I know people who still play the original MW2 every day. I won't be dropping 60$ on a brand new CoD, that's for sure. Their new garbage is exactly that..

This would be amazing. They wont do it though.

xxRider702xx They should just remake it and not drop a new cod that year... IMO that would be better. Also they should just make the game exactly the same as before. Why change things like noobtubing? Thats what made that game honeestly.


Noobtubing was the biggest dick move ever on IW's part, you can't honestly say that you wouldn't be pissed if you died from a GL from across the map 1 kill from a nuke... I know I was madder that mad hatter

wont be taken seriously as there was all that malarky about the petition maker(s) putting in crude hits towards one man army and other stuff making them seem like little cry babies.

ChapsticksPosted:

Honestly I think there just afraid that modern warefare would sell way more than their future garbage game that they have been working on! But honestly had a lot of memories in mw2 especially when it released it would be insane to live that again!
