The campaign only download is a PS4 exclusive for the time being and comes with a few perks forCall of Duty: Modern Warfareplayers who decide to purchase it. While more than a few fans will be more than happy to re-experience theModern Warfare 2campaign, they may also be disappointed to learn the fate of the rest of the game.
Alongside the release announcement forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered, the Activision Blog dropped a few more details on the status of the rest of the game. The $20 download is only for the campaign and as of right now, there’s no plans to provide a similar remastering to the original game’s Spec Ops or Multiplayer modes.

The reason for this is to not split the player base between a number of different but similar games. The currentCall of Duty: Modern Warfareis being set up as the hub for these otherCall of Dutyexperiences. This can be seen throughthe recent release of Warzone, a free to play Battle Royale mode that can either be downloaded or accessed through the core game itself. Those who opt to download Warzone actually end up downloading the entireCall of Duty: Modern Warfaregame anyway.
Thankfully, Activision does plan on introducing even moreModern Warfare 2maps into the core multiplayer experienceto go along with already released ones like Rust. The game already features cross-play functionality and newly released maps are free to download, so releasing a specificModern Warfare 2 Remasteredmultiplayer pack doesn’t make sense. Instead, the company is focusing on continuing to grow and evolve the experience over time.
As previously mentioned,Modern Warfareplayers are getting abonus for purchasingModern Warfare 2 Remastered. Picking it up on PS4 or preordering through the PC or Xbox One gaion immediate access to the Underwater Demo Team Classic Ghost Bundle. In addition to featuring Ghost’s look fromModern Warfare 2, players get two weapon blueprints, a weapon charm, the Belly Flop finishing move, a classic Ghost emblem, a player card, and Ghost’s ‘Stay Frosty’ voice quip. As expected, this content can also be used inside of Warzone as well.
