Earlier this year, the European ratings board gave a PEGI rating of 18 to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered.
As first spotted by CharlieIntel, the MW2 Remastered campaign recently appeared on South Korea ratings board as being officially rated to release soon in the country.
Multiplayer
So far there hasn't been much talk about the multiplayer for Modern Warfare 2 Remastered if there was to be a remake of this game you would have to assume it would be it's biggest selling point.
According to sources, the reason why a multiplayer has not been released is to avoid splitting up the player base and increasing the workload for developers. Modern Warfare and Warzone are already very successful and there would be no need to introduce a third online game.
In An Activision blog post, the company states that they don’t want to release the multiplayer experience as a 'standalone pack' but would rather continue to build Modern Warfare’s experience and bring ‘more classic map experiences’ within that universe.
TheGamingRevolution believes the multiplayer has been remastered and in the past has claimed that it has been done and ready to go, but it's being saved for a "rainy day".
Once the game arrives on PC, dataminers can potentially dive into the code and find out what's hidden.
COD Leaker Okami has, however, broke the hearts of millions by announcing that the MW2 Remastered multiplayer will NOT be direct remaster and instead the maps will be added to Modern Warfare.
It's no secret that there were plenty of issues with MW2's multiplayer, MW2 Remastered would need lots of change to the online multiplayer.
However, that hasn't stopped it from being one of the most memorable Call of Duty games to date.
Towards the end of May, it was noticed by fans that the Australian classification board listed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered as 15+.
This could again be a hint at the campaign, however many have noted that this rating is quite low for the campaign and would more than likely receive a higher rating if it was the case.

Spec Ops
Spec Ops was obviously a big feature in MW2 and the first appearance for it in the franchise.
The mode was very well received and required you to play it to get all of the achievements/trophies within the game.
However, with the release of MW2 Campaign Remastered, there is no sign of a Spec Ops mode and no mention of it has surfaced amongst the rumours.
It seems this mode will not be returning in any capacity.
Reddit Rumours
A lot of speculation surrounds MW2 Remastered being released this year with Modern Warfare. However, it has been delayed as a result of COD 2020 not being ready and will be the game for next year.
In his post, naz2348 claimed that a source of his, who he claims has proven to be reliable in the past, reported that Treyarch's game is not in a fit state and will require an extra year of development.
Treyarch is supposedly working on a Call of Duty: Black Ops reboot, meaning they need to fill the void with something else; that being MW2 Remastered.
The post goes on to detail more about this, as it was originally meant to be Sledgehammer Games that were creating 'Call of Duty: Vietnam'.
Even with the help of Raven Software, it was still not on track for a 2020 release, this is where Treyarch came in and have shifted the focus to be a reboot of their Black Ops franchise. But even with their help, it still isn't looking like it will be ready in time.
The most interesting news is that MW2 Remastered was meant to be campaign only and release before Modern Warfare 2019, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was pushed back.
MW2 Remastered is apparently ready to go with a campaign and multiplayer. We must take this with a grain of salt as there is no way to prove the validity of the source, but it's certainly exciting to hear!
