Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered Campaign Reviews
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered brings back the 2009 campaign with updated visuals for modern audiences. Despite not including the multiplayer option similar to the rerelease of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare the campaign is strong enough to stand on its own. With incredible firefights, visuals, and an amazing soundtrack to bring it all together. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had one of the best military campaigns last generation and the single-player still holds up today.
Time has been kind to Modern Warfare 2. The resonance of this particular entry is demonstrated with heartfelt passion in Beenox' high-gloss, finely-tuned remaster. While the overall package is slim and the asking price no doubt steep for some tastes, there's no denying that MW 2's provocative and exciting campaign has aged like wine, an explosive roller-coaster still worth riding.
Full of ear-splitting energy, Modern Warfare 2's role in pioneering the cinematic, spellbinding first-person shooter can't be understated. With the world at a standstill, and with their careful and scrupulous translation of an undoubted classic, Beenox ignites the flare and call people back to this middle chapter, and where it all began for so many.
Modern Warfare 2 is the technothriller action blaster you need right now, and it's shown why it's still one of the best entries in the Call of Duty franchise… even if it is a bit silly.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered offers a refreshing take on the game’s enjoyable single player campaign, though it does feel a little dated with some elements of its design. I was actually pretty impressed by how slick Beenox managed to make a game from 2009 look and you’d be remiss not to think that it was designed for modern console from the ground up in places, whilst the constant 60fps frame rate ensured that it remained slick throughout too. Still, with the somewhat repetitive shootouts and dated gameplay mechanics, it’s clear that this is a Call of Duty game from the past. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is certainly worth re-visiting, but it’s clear that the series has hit all-new spectacular heights since this.
As its unwieldy title suggests, unlike 2016's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered there are no multiplayer modes included which does make this an incomplete experience, although when its predecessor was resurrected its multiplayer lobbies were frustratingly sparse. Despite its testing difficulty spikes, Modern Warfare 2 is still an exciting, globe-trotting adventure which looks great on modern hardware.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is an attempt to earn fast money in a problematic period for the industry, when most of the planet's inhabitants are hiding in their homes and apartments. You can finish the story campaign in just five hours, and there is no multiplayer. In addition, in Russia and Ukraine, the developers managed to spoil the story due to the removal of a mission critical to the plot, which, along with the average graphics and other problems of the project, is disappointing. The original MW2 deserves the same respect as the first Modern Warfare game.

For nostalgia, and to see a piece of media from a very different time, Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is definitely worth the price of entry. A shockingly good Call of Duty campaign.
Obviously my experiences with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered (and you can bet that's the last time I'm typing that unwieldy title in its entirety) are affected somewhat by the fact that this was my first time playing through, but woowee boy, what a campaign it is.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered definitely brings back nostalgic memories without any of the toxicity.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is a fantastic update to one of the best FPS campaigns of all time
You’ll have a great time with this Modern Warfare 2 remaster if you know exactly what you’re signing up for. You are getting the best version available of arguably the best campaign in the history of Call of Duty, and that’s basically it.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remaster is worth playing it again, or for the first time, thanks to its story. It is a good example of the good in the Call of Duty series. But, you also have to curb your enthusiasm and accept the fact that the remaster yanks the graphic in 2020, but not the gameplay. It is not continuing on the path of the reboot from last year, it is merely a remaster, but one that you should not miss.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare II Campaign remastered is not only a mouthful, it’s great! I enjoy revisiting improved versions of games I loved years ago and I think £19.99 is an excellent budget price as well. If you didn’t play through this the first time around don’t expect the level of polish from last year’s entry to the series, but buckle yourself in for a thrill ride that rarely gives you a moment to breathe!
With fully updated graphics and sound this remaster brings the original on par with current day, while keeping the original gameplay. While the choice to bypass the multiplayer alltogether, this version is a good choice for those that enjoy a story based FPS with a lot of action and all offers a fine chance for those that gave the campaign in the original a pass.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is the perfect opportunity for everyone to experience one of the best FPS ever released. The technical rework is incredible and updates the game to current times. Unfortunately, there is not much to do besides the campaign, and the replay factor is quite limited without a cooperative mode or its famous multiplayer mode.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is a beautiful yet unfulfilling remaster of one of the most legendary first-person shooters of all-time.
The game is just as good as it was 10 years ago, and now looks even better.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is a great upgrade to the campaign, at the same time this does come across as limited with it missing two huge components of what the game so unique upon its initial release.
