'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' Remastered For PS4 and Xbox One? Petition For Return Of Franchise Favorite 55,000 Signatures Strong

Game publisher Activision injected a lot of new features and weapons into "Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare" to keep the franchise fresh. Also, who can forget Kevin Spacey's performance as Jonathan Irons, the unapologetic leader of the private military organization known as Atlas Corp?

However, some fans still believe the high water mark for the CoD series is "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2." Now, a new petition to bring back a remastered version of "CoD:MW2" for the current-gen PS4 and Xbox One consoles is generating quite a lot of buzz among gamers. In fact, the petition has already garnered more then 56,000 signatures since it was created last week.

"I speak for every one when I say that Modern Warfare 2 was one of Activision's best game," read the petition. "Just a fun & enjoyable game that really gives you that nostalgic feeling. The guns, maps, kill streaks were just incredible. At the moment mw2 for the ps3 & xbox is just overrun by hackers. If they remaster the game, & sort a couple things out (e.g noob tubing)it would make a lot of people happy."

Activision rereleased it's most successful "Call of Duty" titles in the past, including its "Call of Duty: Deluxe Edition PC" featuring "Call of Duty: Game of the Year Edition" and "Call of Duty" United Offensive" for PC.

Obviously, we don't know whether Activision will respond to the"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" petition, especially since Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward is now a shell of its former self after former Infinity Ward CEO Jason West had left the team in 2010 amid a messy dispute.

At this time, Activision is still very much invested in continuing development on "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" as game developer Sledgehammer is readying a number of new "CoD:AW" DLC packages. Sledgehammer first released the new "Havoc" DLC last month. The update delivered four new multiplayer maps (Core, Urban, Sideshow, and Drift), as well as an exciting "Exo Zombies" mode featuring a brand-new co-op starring four Atlas operatives depicted by John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan and John Bernthal. Finally, the "Havoc" DLC also offers two new weapons including the AE4 directed energy assault rifle and AE4 Widowmaker.
