Call of Duty Datamine Reveals Possible Modern Warfare 2 Remaster Release Plans

In what seems to be becoming a regular thing, a well-known dataminer, Senescallo, leaked a bunch of upcoming Call of Duty content on Reddit, revealing plans for the rumored Modern Warfare 2 Remaster, along with details on new maps and weapons that are headed to Modern Warfare (you know, the latest one) Season 3.Perhaps the biggest bit of information revealed by the Call of Duty leak seems to indicate that the highly anticipated Modern Warfare 2 Remaster could be sold from within Modern Warfare (2019) and as a standalone game. Further, spotted by Eurogamer, the Reddit leak indicates that Activision only plans to remaster the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, not the multiplayer.

Based on the leak, players will be able to purchase the remaster as a standalone game and will receive the Underwater Demo Team Classic Ghost Bundle with their purchase. Alternatively, players could purchase the Ghost Pack: Oil Rig Bundle from within Modern Warfare to receive the MW2 campaign remaster, a legendary skin for Ghost, weapon blueprints for the M4A1 and 1911, and a few other commodities.

Purchasing the Modern Warfare 2 Remaster from within Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is expected to cost 10,000 COD points, which comes out to about $80. It’s currently unclear how much the standalone version would cost.Remaster’s aside, the leak also revealed some information about Modern Warfare Season 3, which is expected to release in the coming weeks. It seems that two maps from previous titles will be making a return to the franchise in the third season — Backlot (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) and Village (Modern Warfare 3).

Additionally, an SKS Sniper and a Renetti Pistol are likely two be added along with two new Operators, Alex and Ronin. Lastly, Season 3 could be receiving creator codes, which would allow players to support their favorite Call of Duty creator with any in-game purchases. Activision and Infinity Ward have yet to confirm any of this, so of course take it all with a grain of salt.

Developers recently launched Warzone, the highly anticipated battle royale mode, which hit 6 million players in the first 24 hours. While it’s gotten off to a great start, we think Warzone is imbalanced in one specific way. For more on Warzone, be sure to check out our review.
