It's an eminently competent, well-done remaster that makes the game feel like a contemporary release.
Recently, it got a fresh coat of paint, with Activision releasing a fully remastered version of the game's campaign on PlayStation 4, and then later on Xbox One and PC. Released 11 years ago, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to the original Modern Warfare, which turned the military action series into a juggernaut by shifting its attention from World War II to the present, reconfiguring its play around the technology and concerns of early-2000s American military culture. In a game known for reckless action, it's a brief and convincing stretch of horror. For this brief stretch, you never know who's going to be a friend and who's going to be an enemy.
Your commanding officer pauses every time he sees movement ahead, shouting out a code word to try to identify friend from foe.
Wrecked aircraft litter the ground, and you creep through the night uneasily.
