Xbox 360's original 1024圆00 resolution (with 2x MSAA) is boosted to full 1080p on PlayStation 4 - a 3.4x increase to pixel count alone, even before we factor in the far more detailed art. Beenox's work on the remaster creates a similar sense of spectacle for a 2020 audience, and it delivers this despite essentially using the same core technology as the four-year-old Modern Warfare Remastered. Technologically, it took the existing engine and upgraded it with improved animation systems, larger map scale and increased detail on almost every level. Modern Warfare 2 was last-gen Infinity Ward at the height of its power, firing on all cylinders. The scope of what we have to look at is somewhat reduced, but once you sit down to play, you're reminded of what made the original excel in 2009. Watch on YouTube A video breakdown of the excellent Modern Warfare 2 Remastered on PS4 and PS4 Pro, stacked up against the Xbox 360 original. Xbox One and PC versions will arrive further on down the line, and I'm certainly intrigued to see how Beenox tackles the Microsoft platform: the original Modern Warfare Remastered never received full-blooded support for Xbox One X. On top of that, despite being a multi-platform development, it is a timed exclusive for PlayStation 4 owners - in the here and now, at least. Even though we do have the 2019 reboot adding classic maps from older games to the rotation, it would have been nice to have. It was a huge part of the game that will be sorely missed faster, more chaotic than the original - with heartbeat sensors, more elaborate perks and killstreak rewards that escalated to tactical nukes. Unlike the original Modern Warfare Remastered, this is just the single-player campaign - multiplayer is completely excised from the product. It's not quite the complete package, though. On top of a revamped post-process pipeline and HDR support, it's an experience that still holds up today. With this new rendition of Modern Warfare 2, we get vastly improved modelling and art along with remade cutscenes with new motion capture. Who knew that a Call of Duty campaign that released in 2009 would hold up so well today? Remastered, remade, revamped - developer Beenox delivers an excellent current-gen rendition of one of the all-time great Call of Duty campaigns.
