Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is reportedly real, with both Charlie Intel and Eurogamer.net corroborating an errant Amazon Italy listing which leaked recently. Bizarrely, according to sources, the re-release – seemingly scheduled for a 30th April launch – will not include multiplayer at all. Considering that this and its co-op centric Spec Ops mode were enormous tenants of the original edition, this strikes us as strange – although it would appear that Activision doesn’t want to pull players away from Call of Duty: WWII and the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
It’ll be fascinating to see how this remaster is handled, because the original game featured the infamous No Russian mission, which remains a source of controversy almost a decade later. In fact, earlier this month, a White House video used footage from the divisive airport scene as part of a larger debate involving video game violence.
Activision’s yet to officially comment on the leaks, but this looks like a lock from where we’re sitting. Assuming that the re-release really is set for release next month, then we should get official confirmation pretty soon.

Seems like this should be marked as rumor until it's officially announced...anyway, I'd definitely get this. I love Modern Warfare Remastered, and I loved the original MW2.
Of course, I hope that it would just be missing regular multiplayer because no split screen spec-ops would be a deal breaker!
Einstein came up with the theory of relativity, Aristotle founded western philosophy and Vorderman was able to reach 574 with two big ones from the top and 1 small from the bottom.
But no scientist, philosopher or mathematician has been able to work out why Activision would leave out multiplayer in a Call of Duty game.
@Giygas_95 That's fair, I've amended the article to reflect that.
@get2sammyb Sorry, I don't mean to be nitpicky. It's just when I saw it was marked as news I thought it had been officially confirmed.
I'm gonna be really disappointed if it ditches split screen spec ops though, and I say that as someone who's a single player almost exclusively.
@Giygas_95 No you were right to! S'all good!
I'm still waiting for the remake of Modern Warfare to drop on price.
@Deadlyblack Yeah I'm in the same boat. I fancy playing it again, but I don't want to pay much.
CoD MW2 with no multiplayer....So it's gonna cost $5?
Why release it in a single package when they could split it up and charge S40 for SP and MP separately?!
@get2sammyb I am.wondering if the no multiplayer is a limited time thing. If you remember MWR went live for 30 days with the single campaign only. Then multiplayer went live.
No spec-ops! That's dumb wise tbh.
Ridiculous if true
You'll have to pay for multiplayer and pay for additional maps, mark my words.
This is a test by Activision. But saying that, I like the campaign.
Infinite warfare/Modern warfare legacy edition is 10quid at Tesco or asda
@RogerRoger Oops I mentioned the wrong comment. >_>
Hope it's just a rumour. The only reason I bought MW2 was because after a night at friends house where everyone was taking turns on splitscreen multiplayer. Literally went out and bought the next day! So no splitscreen. No purchase.
@Giygas_95 Agreed. The only way i would get this is if they kept the Spec Ops mode.
