Rumor: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is SP only, not developed by Raven Software
- Thread starter poklane
- Start date
I mean, the mechanics, new features, and large selection of viable weapons are a big part of what made MW2 so popular, not just the maps. The thought of trying to make due with the MWR Rangers on a MW2 map just hurts me at the core.
I dunno, MW2 without Lightweight Commando Marathon morons sounds a lot better.
Hold up, they put the Rangers in MWR? Damn I should pick this up
Hey! I happen to resemble that remark! The only nuke I ever got involved me running around Favela with a knife.
Honestly, one of the things I loved was how so much of MW2 was stupidly overpowered in it's own way. Stopping Power'd FAMAS, akimbo 1887's, Commando Tac-Knives, Intervention Quick Scopers. It was the battle of the cheese.
Yeah, but you've got to grind hard (or pay hard) to get them, and they're CoD4 shotgun tier. Often times it takes all four shots to kill a single person. Going by the hard numbers, a single pellet of the MW2 Rangers' six-pellet blast does, at max, 75 damage, and at minimum, 35. By comparison, MWR's Rangers are at max 42 damage, and at minimum... 8.
Sound like a drab affair with very few truly viable playstyles. Very, very CoD4.

Mind you, I still had some fun with them because they're the Rangers, but I had to learn how to use shotguns really well in hardcore (and you'll still get hitmarkers on occasion). Managed to get the gold camo for them, even, which requires 150 head-shots and 150 prone kills, of all things.
They're not including MP because they don't want players to lose focus from BO4 mp and all the monetization methods they'll include there.
Seems the game will be announced Monday, as Activision was streaming for some unknown reason tonight.

The fuck..
Like the campaign is AMAZING, but we want the fucking mp Activision!
If this is true and they charge full price lmao

I mean. I want MW2 for the SP.
But I also wanted fucking Multi. It seems like an odd choice, but as long as the SP is there and as good as MWR was, I will buy it.

It's everything and absolutely nothing
I just hope AV doesn't muck this up. Even if MP is included, I worry a bit if it's not Raven developing. Besides a few unsightly tweaks (mainly footstep sounds and spawns), they did a largely marvelous job with MWR, and are well suited to the task in my book. Another entity handling it leaves the quality more or less up in the air again.
Because as I said in the very first (and only) sentence of my post, this is all information that was told to us directly via an Activision employee on the Activision Twitch.TV channel.
Yeah, because that's a way to win people back when they are already pissed at your company for season passes, loot boxes, and then a possible remaster without multiplayer.
most likely the online is coming at a later date like cod 4 remastered
*slowly puts money back into wallet*
I'll wait for a confirmation from Activision first. If no Multiplayer is announced, I'll wait til it goes down in price.

2010 - 2015 was when people in our community were on the multiplayer hate train. Mainly cuz publishers kept having that shit tacked onto places it didn't belong like Ass Creed and Tomb Raider.
But once Overwatch came out people started gettin more lenient. Now with Battle Royale genre on console even moreso.
On PS4 the SP launched a month prior to the MP. Could happen again.
It's incredibly silly to "hope" this is true just because you're in a very small minority of people that doesn't care about the multi, which to the majority of people who buy COD, is the main reason they buy it.
OP
OP
They're 100% gonna announce WWII's next DLC. DLC2 for CoD games are usually released in the middle of April but with BO4 releasing 3 weeks earlier than usual they're gonna have to accelerate the DLC schedule. Reveal Monday or Tuesday, release April 10th is my guess.
not on PS4 it was 1month early for campaign if you pre ordered IW I believe
If it is just WW2 DLC they are really trying to piss people off.
I saw a clip of the Activision stream, dude is literally sitting on a couch with the MW2 NVGs and base directly sitting there on the couch next to him. It looks ridiculous.

IW was still hugely populated even with MWR and the scathing reception its multiplayer got. Population--at least on consoles--is a non-issue. What does a SP only release get them? Some one-time purchases at a lower price than a full release, with no avenue for microtransaction money. Would they really spend the money and dev time redoing all those textures, models, animations, etc. etc. just to leave it at the campaign? I mean, MW and MW2 both used a lot of campaign areas for multiplayer maps with a few tweaks. Hell, you can even see the Rust map in the background during the final showdown with Shepherd. On top of all of that, the multiplayer is easily the most desired thing out of this release. I'd wager that the large majority of potential buyers would not buy it without the multiplayer being included.
It'd be a truly mystifying decision, to say the least.
Announcement is apparently "not CoD related, or is it muahaha" (some kind of tease)
If this is Spyro lol
I mean, in some evil, ridiculous way, I can understand it.
MW2 was one of the very very first online multiplayer shooter that introduced so many cosmetic features that are absolute standard today. Weapon skins, titles for your game card and emblems for your game card, but back then, everything unlockable for free inside of the game for doing in game challenges. Most of that would be microtransactions today, better not remind people that all these cool cosmetic things were supposed to be inside of a 60$ release 10 years ago.
And to be honest, the way WM2 did it was so one of a kind, it still stuck inside my hand until today. The balance of challenges, ingame notifications for completing them with popup for what you unlocked was so addicting, no game after that did it that good and satisfying ever again. I miss it.

I mean, MWR had most of those things you mentioned. They were either untouched or expanded upon for free, with more new--I stress new--stuff included in loot-boxes, and you could directly buy whatever you wanted if you had accumulated enough in-game currency. That said, the grind rate for getting those loot boxes was way too long.
It's silly to hope a game you like gets a remaster? That's pretty fucking dumb. I want a remaster of MW2. I don't really care if it lacks mp, that's not my problem. Not my fault you don't get what you want.
What I like about CoD is just as valid as whatever you like.
Sure, but the point is, as you can see it perfectly on your own example, they would change something on the system and at least try to microtransaction it, they definitely would do and that alone would piss me off. I mean, if they wouldn't change something about the stuff that was in the game before and just add things, that would be a solution I guess but it's still sad to se what they did with MWR.
As someone who has the platinum, the mw2 sp is some dumb ol' bullshit
But... what you described as "a solution" is exactly what they did with MWR. The stuff that was in the original and was locked behind challenges/progression was still locked behind challenges and progression. They even added new stuff that was locked behind challenges and progression, rather than lootboxes. Every gun had a gold version, for instance, instead of just six of them, and there were new challenge camos on top of the original ones.
To put it as plainly as I can:
Nothing that was in the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was locked behind any microtransactions in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.
How is that sad?
Its easy to see why theyre not remastering the multiplayer. Because everyone would play that instead of the next cods multiplayer.
Other than selling us the same DLC again but more expensive and 2 DLC weapons that were overpowered for a few days,
I feel MWR handled it pretty well.
Even the DLC weapons I didn't mind because they were relatively cheap cost and you got decent scrap.
You could even cheat* the supply drops pretty easily.
*the seasons didn't have that many items each so all you had to do was get the winter supply drops, within a few weeks of release you'd have everything.
After that keep picking winter and every supply drop is scrap, you would quickly have enough to buy all the weapons.
the new challenge weapon skins were great(sand, green, nickel, etc)
Kits were an amazing addition
Uniform and faces as well and didn't interfere with the original aesthetic.
If they did add weapons to MW2R I will be perfectly fine with a certain one that was completely missing from MW2 multiplayer
Its prominently featured in the story and was in the museum map.
