Concept image btw ^^My theory as to why it never released, and what Activision decided to do with it👇Activision wouldn’t want to sabotage or pull players away from their mainline game.They were happy to release Modern Warfare Remastered because they’d chosen to bundle it…

Activision should still release MW2 Multiplayer and Spec Ops Remastered.
Another fan who read Nocturnal’s theory wasn’t happy with the decision explained in it. However, he did understand the reason behind some.
I hate literally every decision explained here, I understand some of them though

It would be safe to say that despite the fact that the mode never saw the light of day, it certainly has gotten a cult following in a way.
A supporter of theCall of Dutymode, namely Shawn B, even started apetitionto bring the mode into the game. 20,657 users have signed it at the time of writing. The description notes that the mode is in files. It says,
it’s a waste of developers hard work making it and a slap in the face to everyone who has wanted this game remastered for the last few years.
Though it never got a multiplayer mode, the remastered version of its prequel did include it. To this date, everyone has left wondering where that missing portion of the game might have been. MaybeActivisionwill hear the fans and bring it to them some day.
