Rumor: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is SP only, not developed by Raven Software

Via CharlieIntel: https://charlieintel.com/2018/03/21...-remastered-has-no-mp-not-developed-by-raven/

However, charlieINTEL has learned new information about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered from source that sent us materials from a Raven Software employee indicating Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered does not have a multiplayer mode; it is a campaign only remaster, according to the material charlieINTEL was sent. We believe this information to be accurate.
...
In addition, the materials sent to CI stated that Raven Software is actually not developing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered. Although Raven did develop the Modern Warfare Remastered in 2016, it does not appear they are working on this title. There are some rumors that Beenox, the team which helped Raven develop the campaign of Call of Duty 4's remaster, could be working on Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, as the studio has been on a hiring spree for Call of Duty related projects.

Update: Eurogamer sources have said this is true as well https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/...-2-remastered-is-real-doesnt-have-multiplayer

CharlieIntel also reported Modern Warfare 2 Remastered does not include multiplayer. Eurogamer sources told us this is indeed true.

Update 2: Jason Schreier (from Kotaku) also confirms this rumor (thanksBrucey for posting this)

Why bother??? Like I enjoyed the campaign but it's not he reason why I bought the game at all.

thekonamicode · Mar 21, 2018

I did love that Burger King level ...

New Fang · Mar 21, 2018

This would be incredibly dumb if true. For many COD fans this was the best COD multiplayer game.

BioDigital Jazzman · Mar 21, 2018

Bleh. No wonder it was $25. Which is still expensive but it makes sense

R.T Straker · Mar 21, 2018

I just want MW2 to be remade with the same graphics as MW Remastred.

The gulag mission would look so amazing.

The biggest beef people had with MW1 Remastered was how they dealt with the multiplayer.

They'd just ruin it.

JustAnotherOne · Mar 21, 2018

Spec-Ops?? They have to include Spec-Ops );

Heromanz · Mar 21, 2018

What's the Goddamn point then.

Rocco · Mar 21, 2018

They wouldn't dare.

Xer0 · Mar 21, 2018

"Let's take the multiplayer out of the most popular console multiplayer franchise ever."

An astoundingly stupid idea.

Cronogear · Mar 21, 2018

I really don't see the point of selling a remaster of MW2 without the multiplayer. Who would buy that?

Maybe as a bonus packed in with another game?

Kyoufu · Mar 21, 2018

Makes sense that they wouldn't want to split the COD MP player base. They'd want as many people playing the game with microtransactions instead.

Feral Gingy · Mar 21, 2018

Violet1370 · Mar 21, 2018

No way they would do something this stupid... i simply cannot believe it.

Deleted member 4260 · Mar 21, 2018

Reminds me of Halo CEA. Why even do this if you aren't including the multiplayer?

Kthulhu · Mar 21, 2018

MW2s multiplayer sucked but the campaiwas awesome. I'd totally buy it.

EvilChameleon · Mar 21, 2018

This explains so much. And is a very dumb move. I guess they know people would just play the multiplayer and not buy Black Ops 4 or any game after that ever again.

lazerfox · Mar 21, 2018

That's funny. I have played hundreds of hours of MW2 on the 360. Never finished the campaign whatsoever...

jorgejjvr · Mar 21, 2018

What we care about is the multi player..

Lost · Mar 21, 2018

This would be the biggest failure in history LMAO

Alienous · Mar 21, 2018

Seems quite pointless.

Jawmuncher · Mar 21, 2018

Makes sense to me. There's already MW1 remastered and they're getting to a point of too many people sticking to just one games MP and not always going to the newest entry.

I wouldn't be surprised if more people are playing MW1 remastered than infinity warfare for example.

GarthLordOfTheSith · Mar 21, 2018

Single player only? So you won't remaster he best MP in the series? Piss off, activision. More like Whacktivision.

TheLionsDen · Mar 21, 2018

The rumored price point makes a lot more sense now.

One would be better off just getting it off Redbox for a couple days or so.

jorgejjvr · Mar 21, 2018

I would be okay with multi player only. But not this.

poklane · Mar 21, 2018

It honestly makes sense to me, releasing a full MW2 Remaster in the middle of the year is a great way to ensure that WWII's playerbase and DLC sales take a huge hit and could obviously negatively impact BO4's sales. Why buy BO4 later this year if you're still having lots of fun with MW2R?

It’s Time To Go · Mar 21, 2018

How much are they asking for it? Or will they, rather.

Strafer · Mar 21, 2018

Great. Multiplayer is not my cup of tea.

DMVfan123 · Mar 21, 2018

I refuse to believe this

SheriffMcDuck · Mar 21, 2018

My most played MP game of all time so if it's not included, I'm out.

nasirum · Mar 21, 2018

Wut? The MW2 multi is what I was hoping for from this.

Disappoint is me.

Mórríoghain · Mar 21, 2018

Oh boy, can't wait to defend Burger Town!

Whompa · Mar 21, 2018

I enjoyed the single player far more than the multiplayer so i'm fine with that.

Razgriz-Specter · Mar 21, 2018

Only way I could buy that is if it maybe has Call of Duty Online's multiplayer for western audiences.

Platy · Mar 21, 2018

I vastly prefer the singleplayer to the multiplayer in COD games.

That said, it makes much more sense to release a mp only remaster if you are going to take something out =P

ThroughtheVoid · Mar 21, 2018

Lmao they played it safe and just are doing the SP alone

TheWickedSoul · Mar 21, 2018

if this is true, they must be confident in Black Ops 4.

I mean, if you aren't going to release a game that's better than an old one, why are you even bothering to develop it? That kind of thinking just makes me feel like they don't have faith in BO4.

TheZynster · Mar 21, 2018

biggest troll move in history if its just singleplayer

SixelAlexiS · Mar 21, 2018

Good, MW2 single player is the best CoD evah, and the MP is actually the first one that ruined the MP of the series with all that crap.

p.s. damn if the Platinum was hard, and I played the co-op TWO times, one online with a friend and another time in split screen with my brother :0

JehutyRunner · Mar 21, 2018

It'd be better if they just included the CoD4 MP and just remade the MW2 maps for it.

Deleted member 4093 · Mar 21, 2018

WOULD MAKE 0 SENSE ACTIVISON.

ShinUltramanJ · Mar 21, 2018

Seems like this will be a bonus in a bundle with Blops 4. Makes sense that there's no multiplayer included as they want you playing the new multiplayer.

RedSwirl · Mar 21, 2018

Makes sense. Maybe they don't wanna split the multipalyer player base between that and this year's COD multiplayer. It would make even more sense if MW2R, like MWR, was at least initially launched packaged with this year's COD.

You gotta think of it in terms of live-service games. Activision doesn't want two competing, very similar live-service games in the same year. At this point the campaign is basically just a single piece of content in the live service. Making a COD game with just one MP mode but more than one story campaign makes sense if you ask me.

I never understood why. The game is a hilariously unbalanced mess. From zero-recoil weapons, to one man army, to tac knives, to heartbeat sensor, to akimbo shotguns. It was ridiculous.

Or maybe that's precisely why? Admittedly, it was fun running around with troll loadouts.

Like Activision wouldn't add microtransactions like they did to MWR.

Deleted member 4260 · Mar 21, 2018

Tbh they probably would've ruined it with microtransactions like they did with MWR

And they probably would've made you rebuy the map packs. Again.
