Modern Warfare 2 Remastered: 20 CHANGES From The Original 

Everyone: Ghost is alive. They didn’t put gasoline on him. MW2R: *put gasoline on him* Everyone: Audible gasp!

I noticed that corrected the error at the end of whiskey hotel where in the original mig 29s flew over the White House instead of f 15s.

I remember in “Loose Ends” everyone always use to say Ghost had some dialogue referring to fire proof suits. Although there was little proof to back, but I still definitely listened as hard as I could during that mission while playing the remastered, but there was nothing

At the beginning of cliffhanger after climbing the ice, the first 2 guys you can shoot, if you melee then without them noticing you get a really cool icepick execution

I don’t think this was in the original, but main characters (Foley, Soap, Ghost, etc) will routinely call out enemy positions to each other and AI teammates by name.

Two things I noticed: 1. Endgame: In the original Price shoots down Shepherd's CH-53 with 3 shots from his M4 which was not very believable, in remastered he shoots twice then fires a grenade which brings down the helicopter. 2. Exodus: In the original, when you switch to laser designator it turns on a laser beam on your SCAR, but in remastered you actually switch to a pistol-shaped laser marker (I think the model is LA-16U/PEQ)

After the helicopter crash in the last mission there is a unique animation if you stab the 2 Shadow company soldiers Also in Just Like Old Time if you stab the guard taking a smoke there is a unique animation

I think Shepard's redesign makes sense. In the original his face is perfectly symmetrical, like something you'd see on a young person. Since Shepard is an old general, it makes sense his cheeks are sunken and he has more pronounced creases above his mouth.

In the mission cliffhanger you can do a secret melee kill on the first two enemies in the mission. Using the ice picks

The SCAR now has a 20 round mag, not a 30. The real SCAR-H uses a 20 round mag so more realism improved. Hopefully they do fix the M4A1 mag in MW3 remaster because it appears to have a 20 round mag but then holds 30. Just a little thing that bugged me.

Who else remembers braking Foley in the museum to make him walk forward lol.

You forgot how price braces his fall of the cliff by pencil diving

On the mission The only easy day was yesterday you can sneak kill the first AI in the crane room

Ghost uses a blowtorch instead of the jumper cables in the favela mission. Cant remeber what its called

In cliff hanger in the beginning u can sneak attack on the two guards instead of shooting them

please do a more changes and an intel vid!! more content like that would be awesomesauce

2:00 the location of the player is also different

The acr assault rifle has a completely new model

They got rid of the Juggernaut.

The biggest change was no multiplayer

How do you do weapon inspect?

There are more sneak kills. One of them is in the second to last mission

It really doesn’t look that much better at all

You have soaps death in the background going on, don't you

Cliffhanger: as the level is played, check your weapon, more snow is added (and stops after a certain amount) but none the less, snow collects on your weapon!!

The humvees are different

I could’ve sworn the game looked like this to me back in 2009

The biggest difference I saw was when the building get bombed by the jets in “Team Player”, the Rangers were recording it with smartphones in the remastered, but in the original, they were using flip phones.

Espresso on the mission where you go through the villa ghost tortured the guy you captured with a blowtorch instead of a generator and jumper cables

It’s the little animation details that I enjoy the most

9:23 this man just dropshotted an A.I.

When they pour the gasoline during loose ends they finally pour it on both ghost and roach. I’m assuming because people back in the day everyone thought ghost didn’t get burned too

I noticed that the characters you play as hold up their hands during explosions and when near fire. EDIT: at the end of Hornets nest when you have to run from militia, inspect your hands while you have no gun. an Easter egg animation plays.

I liked how in the remastered version, during some in game cutscenes the models actually have animated movements when they're speaking, like during "Contingency" When price launched the nuke; in the original Ghost just stood there like a statue while screaming about the nuke. In the remastered he's shown freaking the hell out not only verbally but now with Mocap animation and it looks a whole lot better. Its changes like that in this remastered version that makes the game feel more alive

They need to remaster World at War, with the multiplayer and Zombies.

One minor change I noticed is that there were proper animations for certain interactions, like picking up the briefcase in Exodus, picking up the DSM in Loose Ends, and getting in and out of vehicles, to name a few.

Wow. Didn’t even mention how Ghost’s animations at the end of contingency part 2 has huge changes.

There are special executions for the pilot and the guy crawling in the final mission

At the end of no russian. Russian FBI or what it is. Kicks your weapon away from your body and then checks your pulse. As in original he doesnt even checks the pulse he just barely touches your hand.

What about Cpt.Price yelling "Yeeeeeeah!" while going out of the gulag?

There are two more neat changes in the final showdown with General Shepherd. In mw2 when Shepherd points his revolver at Soap he cocks the hammer, but then the cylinder revolves again as he pulls the trigger, which is impossible as the gun would immediately. They fix this in the remaster. Soap also no longer flips his knife in his palm and instead grabs the tip of his blade and raises it to throw.

The intervention probs sounds different because it sounds different in the MP compared to the original campaign.

In “Of Their Own Accord”, the 2009 version had some background chatter that is somewhat audible. (Check out “DC Evac radio chatter” in here). In the remaster, parts of it you can actually hear clearly and even subtitled i.e. Chatter from the Washington Memorial evac sight, and surrouding units telling HQ that they are pulling out.

I was amazed at how many Intel locations and other little spots I remembered when playing. Granted i haven't played the campaign since 2011.

A very minor change is that they gave Scarecrow a completely unique character model in the mission Loose Ends. He used spawn in with a random generic NPC model in the original. Oddly, Ozone still gets a random character model just like the original.

There’s more “execution” animation on the final mission of the soldiers accompanying Shepard after the crash.

The reload animation for guns like the RPD with a sight was changed

I'm buying it tonight as soon as I get home. I loved the campaign and I'm stoked to get that ghost skin for warzone.

I realllllly want Black ops 1 remastered for its 10th anniversary . And screw it do MW3 and BLOPs2 as well

on the mission Exodus when you pick up the brief case there is a little booklet that says "MW2 Weapons" and "In MW2 we trust"

There's also a small change in the "Takedown" mission. In the original game, when the player is about to enter the favela, Royce asks Meat to warn the civilians on the favela to leave the place, and Meat says in Portuguese "Este lugar nao e seguro, sai daqui, depressa" (This place is not safe, get out of here, quick). In the remastered version, the dialogue was cut to "sai daqui, depressa" (get out of here, quick). We should keep in mind that "sai" in Portuguese is the singular form of the verb "to leave". Given the context of the level (i.e. Meat warning multiple people at once), he should have used the plural form ("saiam") instead. The correct way to say the phrase would be "Este lugar nao e seguro, saiam daqui depressa". MW2 is still a great game, though. Your video was also pretty cool too.

Another execution on cliffhanger when u come across the first two enemy’s if u knife them u use the ice picks on them

you forgot about the takedown animation in the mission "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday" if you sneak up on the dude chilling at the rail you're able to do a unique takedown animation on him

I love the more “human” interactions the player character has, like how panicked Ramirez kind of seems when you’re pulling out the flare, and the camera dips after the strike is called off, like you just let out a breath you’ve been holding. Additionally, at the end of “No Russian” the Russian Officer (while keeping his weapon aimed at you) examines, checks your pulse, then directs the rest of the officers forward to clear out the rest of the building.

Price: I'm not bald... It's thinning!

I'll say what's different, getting hit makes your character flinch like a MF. Gosh it's crazy how much you jolt in this campaign.

Ghost uses a torch instead of battery cables when torturing Rojas

You forgot the fact that on the mission “second sun”, when the rocket explodes, you can hear the panic and rapid breathing in the astronaut you play as

They added a cutscene in the beginning of team Player, and two animations when you kill the two Helicopter pilots in endgame

Soaps face in cliffhanger, you can tell he has scars on his face when compared to the original

Weird fact. This happened in MW2 as well as MW2 remastered. On the mission “Cliffhanger” when Soap slides down to save Roach. If you look at Soaps gun.... it has a heartbeat sensor. As soon as you both make it to the top of the ice.... and you look at Soaps gun. His gun doesn’t have a heart beat sensor.... so weird to me lol

In the remastered version, when you die at any time during the campaign it actually shows your body falling down.

Shepherd’s actual death was changed too. When the knife enters his eye, he doesn’t fall back right away when the knife enters his eye

Need that ACOG in MW like now.

I love how in Contingency when the silo doors open up, ghost physically freaks out instead of just sitting there crouched as he did in the original

When Price launch the missle in CONTINGENCY, Ghost reaction is shocked, unlike the original, he just crouch and do nothing but fuck all with the M4A1 on his arm. Did you notice it?

the intervention dosent sound that different the mp one was the sound most ppl think when they think of intervention.

Whichever character your using if you push down on the D pad when you have the USP with Tactical Knife he does a really cool gun and knife inspection/animation. I'd do it like 20 times in a single mission lol

This man said....omg This man said GRAPHICS. I’m done. I’m out.

Makarov says the n word in MW3R calling it rn

The begging of first mission is different. When they fall off the waterfall in endgame also different. Custom executions are also performed on the straggling soldiers from the helicopter crash in endgame

My favorite change was how they added an extra cutscene to the start of “Team Player”.

Price does a pencil dive on the last mission

I’m pretty sure the intervention sounded like that in the original. I don’t think that was changed it always sounded different vs the multiplayer. I think the f200 sounded different in the campaign also.

There only one change that matters. No multiplayer = no purchase from me lol.

how dare you call that a “bucket” hat and not it’s proper respectable name of the Boone hat

Akimbo weapons in singleplayer i noticed maybe they were in the original but there a lot more common now and maybe it was a speaker set up but all guns sound different and usually worse in my opinion they have no base and even the 50cal sounds like a silenced pistol round

Adding cheat codes is a win

On cliffhanger the first 2 people you kill you can do a special attack on them with your ice picks

The beginning of cliffhanger those first 2 people if you melee them you use the ice climbing gear to assassinate them

Ump has 25 rounds now instead of 32 :/ not to mention all the guns sound nothing like the og versions. Awful downgrade in weapon sounds across the board besides the deagle bc it was ported from mwr and its the same sound in mw2. Everyother gun sounds trash

When Ghost is preparing to torture Rojas' righthand man, in the original he is sparking jumper cables and in the remaster he's lighting a blowtorch.

in team player the dialogue about the building that is being destroyed is different and more comedic

So what changed? *The multiplayer is nonexistent*

Just wish I could play It I just beat the original campaign again and ima beat mw3 again too

the form of torture that Ghost does on the "non lethal takedowns" guy was changed from battery shock to a blow torch.

MW is such a good looking game. This remaster is Perfection

Don't like what they did with the intervention it doesn't even feel the same they should of kept some of the sounds and reload animations from the original mw2

They used the Mw3 UMP model instead of Mw2

Near the end of "Endgame" when you're going off the waterfall on the boat, you and Price will jump out and land in the water feet first. Where in the original you both stay in the boat and hold on.

Soy el único suscriptor que habla en español?

I love this remaster so much. I already beat it several times and I got the platinum trophy on PS4.

Before the first mission theres a new intro

Biggest change is the removal of multiplayer tho

"it aint 2009 no moo"

You forgot 1 things they changed and that was the graphics

In Cliffhanger the first 2 bad guys you see instead of taking them out with Soap if you go up to them and melee them you do a sweet double assassination with the ice picks or whatever they are called that use to get up the mountain

The biggest change from the original is there's no multiplayer! 🤣

That INSPECT WEAPON feature carried on from CoD16-MWR lifted any doubt I had, I will preorder Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered (2020) on PC, I will not wait for a sale like I planned to. I have been hoping for a MW2 remastered after MWR, now we'll finally have it, I can't wait!! I can only hope they'll make Spec Ops later on, 1x-2x player MW2 style. Multiplayer as well as custom games with more then 6x bots would be a great treat too. MWR only had 3x killstreaks (UAV,, Harriers & Cobra). That wasn't much of an incentive to go on, whereas to earn a Loadstar, a Paladin (coop style baby!!) or a Juggernaut suit to go on full on rampage ;) I really catched the glimpse of improved graphics over the original. Thx for the vid :)

I used the intel cheats to just kill Shepard.
