Enemies that spawn infinitely in certain areas are still rampant, but that was also a deliberate choice by developers designed to keep players moving rather than pick off enemies. Like I said, the gameplay is exactly the same as it was back in 2007, which also means the problems the first game had are still present. As if the original level wasn’t shocking enough. They even went the extra mile to add other soldiers fatally injured and crawling for dear life. Remember the mission “Aftermath”? The one where you wake up in a crashed helicopter after a nuclear bomb goes off in the middle of a city? Well in the remaster, they made the level brighter so you can see all the wreckage. Player and character movements are re-animated making them more realistic and less stiff.
The changes are mostly aesthetic, but it’s not like they just added a fresher coat of paint to everything and called it a day.
It plays 100% like the original game did, which is far from a bad thing. Modern Warfare Remastered does not feature any new control schemes from more recent Call of Duty‘s (such as diving, sliding, popping in and out of cover, etc.). For new players though, this graphical upgrade is a MUST as it will help them better appreciate how great of a game it is. Despite the improvements, however, the game still looked like Modern Warfare to me because that’s how good it looked back in my head when I last played it years ago. I’ve always been impressed with the engine in Call of Duty games and this is no exception. Using the current version of the IW engine, character models are detailed extraordinarily better, aided by sharp textures and of course a constant 60 frames per second. Chances are if you play the remaster with fresh knowledge of the original, it will look as good as you pictured it back in 2007 and then some. It’s funny how you look back on a game only to realize it doesn’t look as good as you remember it. Does the game responsible for so many sequels hold up nine years later? For better or for worse, the changes that were made game after game have resulted in much different experiences than the one Modern Warfare offered. Since then, a new Call of Duty title has come out every year from developers Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and later Sledgehammer Games. What many consider to be the peak of the franchise, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out in 2007, winning numerous awards for Best Shooter, Best Graphics, and Best Online Multiplayer. Out of all the remasters that have come out these past few years (and there have been a lot), I’ve never been as excited for one as much as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. Be advised if you haven’t played the original game or even the remaster.*
