Over the last few days on social media, a brand-new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 mod has been spreading like absolute wildfire, so much so that it's propelled Modern Warfare Remastered — the game it's built off — to Steam's top premium game in the UK right now.
This 'H2M' mod completely overhauls 2009's original MW2; effectively remaking it in the Modern Warfare Remastered engine. Of course, we got a glimpse of something similar on Xbox with Modern Warfare 2's campaign remaster a few years ago, but this is the full game - multiplayer and all.
Here's what the mod looks like in action:
This Modern Warfare 2 Remastered mod arrives for PC players on August 16th, and as we previously mentioned, its impending arrival has done absolute wonders for the original Modern Warfare Remastered game. Behind Steam Deck and the free-to-play CS:GO, MWR is third in the UK's Steam charts right now - by overall revenue.
While this is an unofficial mod that is in no way affiliated with Xbox, we can't imagine they'll be too displeased by it causing a massive uptick in Modern Warfare Remastered sales. Maybe, just maybe the team will see this and ponder an official MW2 remaster. Our nostalgia-fuelled bias would absolutely love that to be a future Call of Duty release!
In other incredible mod news, Fallout: London has been a super popular release in recent weeks, with some fans even suggesting that it's the best Fallout experience since New Vegas. A bold claim!
