The latest addition to the Call of Duty series, Modern Warfare, has been remarkably successful. The addition of Warzone by Infinity Ward and Activision stood out the most. But, fans keep on aspiring for more additions to the franchise. They have been playing the Call of Duty games for well over a decade now. Meanwhile, reports of Activision working on a new Call of Duty game for 2020 are broadly prevalent.

Widespread rumors surrounding a remaster for the popular Modern Warfare 2 were common, as it was supposed to launch in as early as 2018. Finally, on March 30 this year, Activision launched MW2 Campaign Remastered for PlayStation, followed by a launch for PC and Xbox on April 30.

Since then, the CoD fanbase has called for the addition of an MW2 remastered multiplayer as well. However, popular CoD leaker, TheGamingRevolution, has an update on this issue.
