Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remaster On The Way, But Won't Have Multiplayer - Report

No Multiplayer. No Point !

Everyone knows its the multiplayer that is the attraction !

i just going to take a guess and say they are going to be SJW'ish and change or get rid of the No Russian Mission

is this a fucking joke?

Without multi-player, that price like $5 per hour of gameplay lol

Well that's a little disappointing.

Makes no sense, cod single players are famous for being blockbuster set pieces that last 5-8 hours at most then the rest of the game is MP so with no MP it's a very low value offering. D2 is currently in the toilet so that revenue stream was cut drastically, COD ww2 has done okay but hasn't exactly revitalized the series and everyone is on the lookout for overly aggressive monetization. Release it just purely as single player and you generate a small income bump and mostly negative coverage as people bemoan the lack of MP, release MP as an optional paid extra again you'll bump revenue but you'll generate a fecal storm of negative attention which could easily blow back on the COD franchise in general and harm revenue over the long term, or just release a straight remaster including MP at circa £20 and enjoy a nice extra payday and positive coverage leading into E3 and create hype around BLOPS 4.

"the publisher hopes to avoid splitting the player base among too many different Call of Duty titles"

lol

“Everybody already hates us...”

“Yeah but I think we could do better.”

“How would you suggest we did that? People couldn’t possibly hate us more”

“Hold my beer...”

No multi, no buy!

*sung to the tune of No Woman No Cry*

Activision is the master of making a remaster far inferior and more expensive than the original version. Look for the rampant DLC to make your game complete announcing soon.

No multiplayer = no buy for me. Multiplayer was the best part of MW2.

So basically half of the game?

This call of duty Morden Warfare 2 remasterd need online because there single player games are short . It’s not worth buy. Stick to old one .

Not wanting to split the player base would not be in line with any of Activision's previous decisions. Activision's decisions are driven by: profit. Much more likely: they are releasing the single player, and later the multiplayer, as 2 separate entities. This way the campaign can fall in price while the multiplayer, which may need several dedicated servers (MW2 being identified by most as the best call of duty game), can remain at it's price point for likely some time. Many of the multiplayer players will have no interest in paying for the campaign (I know several personally), and will be more apt to buy it when priced for just the multiplayer, w/o additional content they have no interest in playing.

Why the hell would anyone buy CoD for single player? Lmfao, what are they doing??? MW2 was an amazing MP experience, I guess they're scared that people will once again ignore the new CoD just so that they can play the better one.

LOL what a no buy. Funny thing I still have the old entire MW collection sitting on the shelf. Can go through the campaigns any time I want. Having no multiplayer is just another Activision dick move and slap in the face to the fan base. MW2 and all it's multiplayer is easily one of the most requested Remasters of all time. To do one with out multiplayer is just a dick move to the dwindling fanbase.

Modern Warefare 2 multiplayer is by far literally the best COD multiplayer Infinity Ward has ever created. However the SP Campaign sucks compared to COD 4 MW. So this is just dumb and an easy past. F*** off Activision you're drunk.

What's the point? Who plays COD games for the sp, even more so if it's a several years old game? I wouldn't even pay $10 for that now. I might pay them a few bucks if mp was included and improved, especially the lag issues. But of course they'd be charging $40+ for that instead of the 20 or so bucks that it would be worth.

I'll just stick to MW2 on PC. The multiplayer is still alive there and at this point most modern laptops can run it without issues. No multiplayer means they might as well quit this project altogether and work on a Modern Warfare 4 already.

how many multiplayer games carrying the label Call of Duty do we need to play at once?

If it’s true they’ll probably make us pay for the multiplayer separately down the line and then also make us pay for the Map packs too. Oh boy and don’t forget cramming a F2P model into it too.

If there is no multiplayer. I will quit COD altogether. Just like i quit Destiny.

what's the point if there is no multiplayer? CoD sucks now, but at least put it the mode that keeps it alive...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 REMASTERED! Look for it in a loot box near you.

multiplayer DLC cash grab maybe?

Typical COD shark company procedure.

More remasters, great (sarcasm).

The only sales they get will be from people that assume the MP is included. As it should be. But it isn't.

The reports also assert that the game will not feature multiplayer, which is likely the reason for its lower price point. We do not yet know why Activision wouldn't include multiplayer; one completely speculative reason could be that the publisher hopes to avoid splitting the player base among too many different Call of Duty titles.

I would also argue the many lawsuits and fight for control of toolsets related to the infinity ward vs Activision from a few years ago. Now that was a soap opera for sure.

Me and my crew just played the story mode of the MW titles just to familiarize ourselves with the controls and quickly moving on Multiplayer matches. Without MP, cannot see the value in a remake, unless it costs like $10 .

How hard is it just to sell a normal remaster?

Smells to me that they are saving multiplayer for a future stanealone purchase (at some point) unfortunate because i enjoyed both the story and pvp and if there is to be a stanealone multiplayer, it too will likely be $25+, so if you buy single player and multiplayer (If there is one later) you will still end up shelling out $50+ for a decade old game, with a fresh coat of paint. Trust me, Activision will find a way to have their cake and eat it too...Again... and Again.

nothing set in stone yet, it only a rumor for now

Taking the multiplayer out of call of duty is like taking the bacon out of a BLT.

Damn, quick scoping days.

Lol

Just release it with Modern Warfare 3 campaign along to give us closure. Modern Warfare 2 was a stupid fun great campaign, but there's little incentive to get it when it's been the formula has been so repeated over and over (5 hour campaigns saturated of action with no understanding that low points make higher ones more special, AKA pacing).

No multiplayer? No thanks

Has anyone mentioned whether the "No Russian" mission would be included? After being used by & targeted from Anti-Game idiots so much, I doubt it would now...

But it is a BIG part of the story... So I don't think it should be cut as long as it has the offensive warning like the original did...
