The new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will be released on October 28, 2022, and many fans are excited about it. And after the many controversies surrounding 2009’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, many players are wondering if the new game will be another remaster of old games, or will be built from the ground up. But what most are wondering is if infamous levels like “No Russian”, multiplayer maps like Karachi with Arabic banners instead of Urdu, and so on. So today we will answer your question of “is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 a remake in 2022”.
Is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 a Remake (2022)?
No, the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2022) is not a remake of the 2009 title with the same name. The new Modern Warfare 2 will continue the story Infinity Ward rebooted with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). So just like the 2019 game, the story of 2022 Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will be different from both the 2009 game & 2020 campaign remastered. This is evident in the naming the devs opted for:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered (2020)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022)
Yes, the latest game opts for a roman numeral “II” instead of the Indo-Arabic numeral “2”. Without giving you spoilers, if you have not yet played 2019 CoD MW, the story takes a different route from the CoD 4 Modern Warfare. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare & Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 already received remasters as:
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered (2016)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered (2020)
Will the “No Russian” Level Return in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II (2022)?
As per many internal sources, the “No Russian” level, and anything similar to it will not be returning in the new Modern Warfare 2. “No Russian” was the most controversial level in the history of CoD since the launch of the first game. This unskippable MW2 level made the players participate in massacring an entire civilian airport in Russia, thus the title. The game suffered various censorship as per the graphic content and hurt the emotions of many players.
We are thankful the devs decided to remove this level from the game. More adding to the fact that the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is not just a remake of the old game. Contrary to what many believe, the level did not add any value in creating any relationship between the player & Makarov (in-game). And by any means, if this level makes a return to the new game, there must be an option for players to skip it completely.
