There’s a petition to have Modern Warfare 2 remastered

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, if you had to sum it up in to critique of just two syllables, would be “aw’right.” Maybe even “pretty good.” But what it isn’t, according to fans of the seminal, unbearably popular military shooter franchise, is anywhere near as good as Modern Warfare 2. In fact, there’s a petition directed at Infinity Ward and Activision that practically begs for a remaster of Modern Warfare 2 for the new consoles.

Started just last week by Ramez Zahra of Australia (via VG247), the petition has already amassed an unbelievable number of signatories, rapidly heading towards 50 000.

Here’s the petition in its entirety, verbatim.

I speak for every one when I say that Modern Warfare 2 was one of Activision’s best game. Just a fun & enjoyable game that really gives you that nostalgic feeling. The guns, maps, kill streaks were just incredible. At the moment mw2 for the ps3 & xbox is just overrun by hackers. If they remaster the game, & sort a couple things out (e.g noob tubing)it would make a lot of people happy.

The Petition is directed at, among others, “C.E.O of Infinity Ward Jason West,” who – as you know, because you’re cool people who like to keep up to date – hasn’t been with Infinity Ward since 2010, since he left to co-found Titanfall developer Respawn entertainment. In 2013, he left Respawn to deal with family responsibilities – So I doubt he cares that there’s a petition aimed at him.

Remastered games – especially ones from just the last generation – are painfully boring things. Ones of games featuring gung-ho, militant twaddle push the envelope of boring in my opinion.  I’d really love to know from fans though; Why Modern Warfare 2? Why is this the one that should be remade?

    Don’t they release an annual remaster of CoD every year? They just advance the warfare with each edition. ;P

      They do release CoD remasters every year, but they use a broken random word generator….

        But isn’t that just the fresh new title? CoD: Cool new name – buy it now for the experience you’ve had 5 times before.

      Technically he’s correct, he does speak for “every one”. The “every one” in this instance, is himself.

    I find it fascinating that they’d ask for a remastered version of MW2, from a guy that hasn’t been active in the industry for a few years…. It’s like demanding money from the toothfairy, only, you’re in an orphanage….

    Why 2?
    why no the original MW? CoD4?
    it was the best competitive CoD ever, while MW2 was pretty much for casuals and 360 noscopers.

    cannot into understanding

    I wouldn’t mind a remaster of the Arkham series. Even Origins, no matter what people say, it worked perfectly from start to 100% completion without a single hiccup.

    I’d only want this because I’m not paying R3000 for another console (both are broken)

    Why am I explaining myself to everyone?

    I want Arkham Remastered!

    I thought this happened twice already? Modern Warfare 3 and Ghost? I’ll agree that Advanced Warfare was slightly different 😉

    Irresponsible parents buying their kids 1000’s of games a year, disregarding age restrictions and teaching detrimental “swipe-now-worry-later” crap. An adult most likely would not reference “noob tubing” in a serious petition. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but this comes across as brats making petitions. That’s all fine and well on it’s own, but why are people actually listening?

    I feel like a hipster the way I’m hating on AAA these days but it’s hard to simply stand by and just watch the young and dumb run amok like this 🙁
