Modern Warfare Remastered climbs Steam charts as MW2 multiplayer mod prepares to launch

A multiplayer mod for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered has caused the game to shoot to near the top of the Steam best-seller charts.

At the time of writing, the 8-year-old entry in the franchise is Steam’s fourth best-selling game. The sales boom has been sparked by H2M, a mod for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered that implements a refreshed take on the multiplayer portion of the original Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

The mod will feature over 50 maps, according to its developers, and will also include an updated progression system, as well as new attachments and camos that weren’t featured in the original game. Modern Warfare 2’s original suite of killstreaks are being included as part of the mod.

The mod will require the base game of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered when it launches on August 16.

The mod will combine the maps that were already included in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered alongside the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 maps that the modders have brought forward from the original game.

2023’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 featured remakes of every original map from the original release Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Black Ops 6 will be released on October 25, 2024, for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. As a first-party Microsoft title, Black Ops 6 will also be available on select Game Pass plans on day one.

Black Ops 6 will feature two brand-new Zombies maps at launch, plus 16 multiplayer maps, including 12 core 6v6 maps and four Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

An in-development build of Black Ops 6 recently leaked online, revealing numerous details about the title and gameplay footage ahead of Activision’s schedule.
