An ambitious-sounding Call of Duty mod is coming this week, ushering in what its developers describe as a recreation of the original Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer experience “with new twists.” Some fans, however, are concerned that Activision will step in and shut the whole thing down like it did with the fan-made Call of Duty SM2 mod in 2023.
The mod is for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, and it includes numerous maps (50+ in total), an updated progression system, more camos, and custom attachments. The killstreaks you remember from Modern Warfare 2 are in the mod, too.
There is a lot of excitement and hype around this mod, in part because 2020’s Modern Warfare II Remastered was campaign-only and did not include any multiplayer support. At the time, Activision’s explanation for why it didn’t release a multiplayer experience left a lot of people shaking their heads and trying to understand. And now, Call of Duty fans are taking matters into their own hands and doing it themselves.
The H2M mod, as it’s called, requires a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, which was originally released in 2017. The mod launcher will arrive on August 16.
To install H2M-Mod, you will need to own Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. Presumably due to the great anticipation for the mod’s release, Modern Warfare Remastered has surged up the sales charts and currently sits at No. 3 overall on Steam’s top-sellers chart. Black Ops 6, the next entry in the series that’s due out this October, is No. 15, for comparison.
The H2M mod includes all the Modern Warfare Remastered maps, as well as original MW2 maps that the community creators brought forward. Additionally, some of the campaign play spaces from the MW2 Campaign Remastered release are playable in the mod as custom maps.
As for progression, the modders said there will be 70 ranks to make your way through and 10 prestige levels. After prestige 10, players can work their way up to level 1000.
In other Call of Duty news, Activision will reveal what’s next for Black Ops 6 during the Call of Duty Next event on August 28. Shortly after that, the Black Ops 6 beta begins on August 30.
