MW2 is undoubtedly my favorite Call of Duty campaign, and this remaster does a tremendous job of bringing the memorable scenes and gameplay scenarios I remember to contemporary consoles. MW2 stands out among the more cinematic Call of Duty games for its distinct environments—scuba-ing onto an oil rig; assaulting a castle, sniping from a helicopter; fighting through the streets of DC—the visual highs of the campaign are brilliant, and made more stunning by lighting upgrades in this remaster. The only complaint I have, and it seems minor, is that they made Veteran difficulty easier by creating a more forgiving AI... I rarely faced any challenges in my play-time, and when I did, they were still nothing compared to the same spots in the original game.
