Beenox developed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered. The remaster updates the single-player campaign from Infinity Ward’s 2009 Modern Warfare 2 while leaving the original game’s multiplayer and Spec Ops content out.
Beenox used a more advanced version of the Sledgehammer Games engine associated with Advanced Warfare, adding its own modifications. The project refreshed character models, environments, lighting, visual effects, cutscenes, and sound presentation for newer hardware. That technical connection can cause confusion, because Sledgehammer’s engine was used as the foundation, but Beenox is the studio credited with developing the remastered campaign.
The remaster first launched for PlayStation 4 on March 31, 2020, before arriving on Windows and Xbox One on April 30. It also linked cosmetic rewards to the 2019 Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone ecosystem. Another common mix-up is confusing this title with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, the 2016 edition of Call of Duty 4, which was developed by Raven Software. The two remasters cover different original games and had different primary developers.
