Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer remastered lands, party like it's 2009

Things must be getting pretty dire if we're all getting nostalgic for 2009

It's 2009. Barack Obama was just sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. Avatar is about to hit cinemas and trick several people into thinking that buying a 3D TV is a sound financial decision. Every popular song in the charts has a saxophone solo for some reason. Your aunt just sent you another invitation to join FarmVille.

And, most importantly, the sequel to Activision’s hit first-person shooter is about to drop: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Like Anton Ego forking that first mouthful of ratatouille into his mouth, the mere sound of the name sends me back in time.

Suddenly I can hear the sounds of screaming, borderline infant children in my ears as they make disparaging comments about my family members. Every single person is running a double akimbo Model 1887 build. People are saying stuff like “360 no-scope”, but unironically. It was a simpler time.

If I’ve suddenly got you feeling nostalgic, I’ve got some good news for you; a team of very talented modders are planning to release a remastered version of Modern Warfare 2 on 16 August, this month.

This year will bring us Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Take a look below.

The “H2M” mod is attempting to bring several Modern Warfare 2 maps to the remastered version of the first Modern Warfare, and the work they’ve done so far looks seriously impressive. Don’t take my word for it, though. Have a gander at their latest trailer instead.

For any of you ever so slightly confused, yes, there already is a remastered version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that was officially released back in 2020.

The difference is that unlike the remastered version of the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the remastered version of its sequel doesn’t have online functionality.

You can still actually play Modern Warfare 2 online, but the creators behind the H2M mod are simply trying to bring the updated visuals found in the remastered version to modern systems.

All in all, it’s a neat project and the team behind it have made some impressive progress. We’ll have to wait a few more days to see how well it functions however, and whether or not Activision plans on sending them a cease and desist beforehand.
