The release of a remastered version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer mode has fans of the franchise buzzing with excitement. The game, originally launched in 2009, quickly became a fan favorite for its intense campaigns and multiplayer modes. The remaster, set to release on August 16, is the work of a dedicated team of modders.
Their project, titled “H2M,” aims to bring several Modern Warfare 2 maps to the remastered version of the first Modern Warfare. The team has already showcased impressive progress in their latest trailer. The mod will allow the visually updated experience of the remastered campaign to function in the multiplayer mode on modern systems.
This news comes despite the existence of an officially released remastered version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that came out in 2020.
