Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will not be sold separately

A premium version of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is your ticket to revisiting Call of Duty 4.

Despite continuing to sell millions of copies, the past few iterations of Call of Duty haven't posted numbers in line with earlier, vaunted entries like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and 2009's Modern Warfare 2. Activision knows millions of players would pay a pretty penny to relive those glory days—that's why you'll only be able to get Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered in premium editions of this fall's Infinite Warfare game.

The news comes directly from Activision, which posted an FAQ to outline the changes differentiating 2007's Modern Warfare from this year's impending remaster. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is a full campaign and 10 multiplayer maps from the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game remastered in stunning high-definition, featuring next generation textures, physically based rendering, high-dynamic range lighting and much more to bring a new generation experience to fans."

Activision went on to explicitly state that Modern Warfare Remastered would be sold in the Legacy, Legacy Pro, and Digital Deluxe versions of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, which will run you $80, $100, and $120, respectively.

"You must own Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in order to get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered," Activision stated simply.

Unsurprisingly, Modern Warfare Remastered, being developed by Raven and executive-produced by original developer Infinity Ward, will only be made available as a digital download, most likely by way of a code.
