Whether or not you’re an active Call of Duty player, you’ve likely heard the controversy regarding No Russian. Of course, there’s also the infamous ‘No Russian’ mission. This was accomplished in part by Infinity Ward’s unwavering urge to one-up themselves. A lot of these moments managed to stick with me. Having not played through it since 2009, I still remembered key points in the campaign: stealing a snowmobile only to barrel down a hill and over a jump, or running the rooftops in Rio de Janeiro towards your rescue helicopter. However, the remastered was a trip down memory lane nonetheless. The mission structure of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a little dated, sure. Despite being 11 years old, Modern Warfare 2 is a timeless classic in that regard. Additionally, everything from a gameplay perspective holds up nicely. Naturally, the remastered had a fresh coat of paint over it, providing graphical improvements.
Revisiting the game, I was delighted by how tight the aiming remained. The game succeeded by offering unparalleled gunplay. This, in turn, helped me appreciate how minimal the gameplay experience was.Ĭall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered was a stark reminder that during that era, Infinity Ward never felt the need to include added gimmicks to the gameplay. I played the remaster with the likes of Infinite Warfare and Black Ops 4 still fresh on my mind. The original came at a time when wall-running, double jumping, and sliding weren’t a part of the player’s mobility. However, I’d be remiss if I said there was a noticeable difference from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered and the original. I’m sure Beenox refined the mechanics in small ways. The first thing that grabbed my attention was how great the controls felt. However, the reverberations this game created can still be felt in contemporary Call of Duty titles.
That said, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered only includes the campaign mode. Of course, Call of Duty continues to hold onto its place within the competitive online space. The Call of Duty franchise is synonymous with blockbuster moments, and tight FPS mechanics. Many Call of Duty titles have come and gone over the years, yet I’m still enamored by what the game was able to accomplish.
Over the past decade, many have argued that this game was the superior entry to the Modern Warfare trilogy. Having taken my time to re-familiarize myself with Modern Warfare 2, I began stirring over the legacy this game left.
