The campaign is populated with characters that you’ll actually remember, and iconic missions which you’ll want to replay. The story’s excellent pacing, with superb stealth missions breaking up the intense gunfights, makes for one hell of an adventure. All you need to know is that it’s identical to the original, aside from the obvious graphical overhaul. I’m not going to dive too deep here, as Modern Warfare Remastered’s campaign is not something I want to spoil. With the marketing shenanigans covered, let’s touch on the single-player. At least, that might have been the case if Activision wasn’t taking Modern Warfare Remastered hostage, giving access only to those who purchase special edition versions ($80+) of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare! It’s such an outrageously anti-consumer move, corrupting what should be a happy slice of nostalgia. The Call of Duty franchise has gone down such a controversial path, with three futuristic titles in a row now, that a return to the acclaimed Modern Warfare could have presented a nice break from the recent sci-fi themes.

You know, that weird warble that escapes one’s mouth when encountered with overwhelming happiness? My favorite shooter of all time, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – the very game that introduced me to online first-person shooters – was being remastered for the PS4! What great news this was!Įven with all the other shooters that have released this year, Modern Warfare Remastered remained the FPS I was most excited to play. I’ll admit it, when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered was confirmed to be in development, I squealed with excitement.
