The remaster is excellent in every way with improved character models, lighting and visual effects.
Got that? Good, because you are in for a ride.Īnd it is quite the ride, never letting up on the action, even in the quieter moments with Task Force 141. The campaign sees you fighting on the front line of the conflict by following US Army Ranger Ramirez, while Task Force 141, featuring the familiar faces of Gary “Roach” Sanderson, John “Soap” MacTavish and Captain Price, work in the background trying to foil Makarov’s schemes. The Russians then frame the US and, unbelievably, invade America with some radar subterfuge. In the game’s most shocking moment, mastermind Viktor Makarov takes a team of people through a Russian airport, gunning down all the civilians there in cold blood. Zakhaev, the main antagonist from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is dead, but he has become martyred in his homeland, causing a wave of ultra-nationalists to rise up. The story is well known, but in case you haven’t ever played it before, or you have forgotten most of it, here is a brief synopsis. The set pieces keep on coming, from speeding down a mountain side on a snowmobile, dodging and strafing gunfire from an army of angry Russians, to pelting across the rooftops of the Brazilian favela, it is never short of exhilarating moments. In many respects it isn’t as a good a campaign as its predecessor, but it is way more spectacular, in every way. And yet, and yet, it feels such a perfect time to be replaying this remastered version from 2009. It feels like a game from a different world, and in light of recent events, it really is from another time.
Now, it feels like the batshit has been dialled up to eleven. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is absolutely bonkers! More insane than I remember, and I recall thinking defending “Burger Town” from a swarm of invading Russians deep in the American heartlands was mad stuff even back in the day.
