But then it’s easy for us to say that as we didn’t have to pay £20 for it. Modern Warfare 2’s single-player was never as good as its predecessor but it’s still a decent, well-orchestrated story campaign. Unfortunately, improving the animation would’ve taken a lot more work and it frequently exposes the game’s age, especially the mixture of poor facial animation and characters constantly leering into the screen at you.
There’s a noticeable lack of anti-aliasing at times, but the resolution and texture quality is much higher than the original. On a technical level this is a decent remaster. Games Inbox: Why is PS5 releasing so few new games? It’s still a disquieting scene but it’s also an outrageously cynical one that was clearly only included in order to create controversy and raise the game’s profile, which worked exactly as planned during the original release. There is, of course, one famous sequence from Modern Warfare 2 that we haven’t mentioned yet and that’s No Russian, a sequence where you optionally (you can go through the whole thing without firing a shot) control a mole forced to take part in a terrorist massacre at an airport. There is a certain artistry at work here, as there always is for the best Call Of Duty titles, but playing it now the experience feels closer to a lightgun game than a modern first person shooter – and that includes the Modern Warfare reboot. Thanks to the remastered graphics these sequences still look surprisingly good today, but they’re so shallow and superficial, as you fight heavily scripted enemies with essentially no artificial intelligence, it feels immediately hollow.
