While the official release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered only includes the campaign, an incredibly talented team of modders has fully recreated MW2 multiplayer with a new mod called H2M for the original Modern Warfare Remastered.
H2M is a remastered version of Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer featuring all the maps, modes, and weapons that you remember from 2009. In addition to upgraded maps and graphics, there are also new maps inspired by the Modern Warfare 2 Remastered campaign and a full progression system with unlocks, camo challenges, and prestige ranks. It’s pretty easy to set up too.
How to install and play MW2 Remastered multiplayer with H2M
To install the H2M mod to play Modern Warfare 2 Remastered multiplayer, you need to own 2017’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered on Steam. The game retails for $40, but you can regularly find it on sale for $20 (It’s currently on sale through August 14). Thankfully, you also don’t need the Variety Map Pack DLC.
Because it’s easy to get confused, we’d like to stress that you do not need to own Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered. You don’t need the original 2009 version of Modern Warfare 2 either. You only have to buy Modern Warfare Remastered.
After installing Modern Warfare Remastered, visit the official H2M mod website. There, you’ll find an installer that will set up everything for you automatically. H2M will be officially released on Friday, August 16, so you’ll have to wait a few more days before you can download it. Once the weekend hits, though, it’ll be like 2009 all over again.
All maps and modes in H2M
H2M includes every map from the original release of Modern Warfare 2. This includes the DLC maps as well. It also includes maps inspired by the MW2 campaign plus every map from Modern Warfare Remastered on top of that, so there are 54 multiplayer maps in total.
