Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 launches tomorrow, and unless Treyarch has a seriously impressive bait and switch up its sleeve, it appears that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered was never actually a thing at all.
Originally reported by Call of Duty fan site Charlie Intel, it was rumoured that the 2009 FPS behemoth would be remastered alongside the release of Black Ops 4, similar to that of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered being bundled with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The biggest sticking point of the entire ordeal though was that the re-release would be single player only, an aspect that was also reinforced by Kotaku's Jason Schreier in an episode of Greg Miller's Kinda Funny Games Daily.
The rumour made sense, too, with this year's iteration ditching its campaign in favour of multiplayer, zombies, and the new Blackout mode. Maybe the remaster never existed at all? Maybe the backlash to the lack of multiplayer forced the developer to go back to the drawing board? We can only speculate, but what we are confident of is that you won't be seeing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered this year.

I can see them delaying it into 2019 for one or another reason. Totally forgot about this rumour, by the way.
I'd like to play the campaign again one day, but I can't see myself paying more than 10 for that experience.
@Kidfried Totally agree on that point this one needed the multiplayer. But please no more expensive DLC then the original. 😁
they probably didn't want to release a game that would compete with Black Ops 4 after all for many MW2 was the best of the bunch AND i could see many people playing this over BO4 just like with MW1 and IW
Maybe next year along with Modern Warfare 4.
I don't think it was ever rumored that it was going to be bundled with BO4, that wouldn't make sense as one was done by Infinite Ward and the other Treyarch. Last I heard it was rumored to come out last April but after April came and went it fizzled.
I hope they wait and put it out as a cross game with PS4/5.
Honestly if I could get MW2 on my ps5 I would be so happy...but also never buy another COD game cause I’d only want to play MW2 haha.
It'll come bundled with the Infinity Ward game next year.
best You got was that box with the X on it and it’s ability to do Backwards Compatibility w olden generation boxes with the X on it like the OG or the 360.
@Derpie1 The problems is with that though is MWR2 is full of nothing but hackers and modders because Activision doesnt support the game anymore.
I think due to the positive hype with blackout they may keep this card hidden until a flop is in the air
Was just talking about this with someone yesterday too
@Tasuki that’s expected unfortunately... regarding that issue
@jswhitfield8 I'm not sure EA would be interested in your complaint about an Activision product.
I bet that they didn't want to launch MW2 without MP, so they went to the drawing board. And even if the full version was complete by BO4 launch, they wouldn't put both on the market at the same time.
They are really pushing this game and I reckon they wouldn't want to divide the community.
Additionally, if Infinity Ward is really working on a Next Gen COD, I can easily see COD skipping a year, specially with BO4 being more a GAS. And by this time next year, they can launch MW2 Remastered to help mitigate the lack of a game launch.
