Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered features the same core gameplay as the original version: it is a first-person shooter in which the player controls several characters during the single-player campaign, alternating from one to another between missions. It includes some modifications consisting of adjusted timing to existing gameplay animations, while remaining nearly identical to their original counterparts.[4] In the prone position, the player character's arms and equipped weapon are visible.[5] In the multiplayer mode, players can perform a taunt, by allowing them to inspect the exterior of their gun for example, intended to humiliate a defeated opponent.[6]
The single-player campaign is almost identical to the original. It retains the same collectibles and cheats while adding several more of the latter.[7] The game offers full PlayStation Network trophy and Xbox Live achievement support—trophies were absent from Modern Warfare because the game was released before they were introduced—by including several new challenges.[8]
Modern Warfare Remastered features an updated version of the multiplayer mode that shares similarities with those featured in later Call of Duty games. It includes the same weapons, killstreaks—rewards gained that allows the player to locate opponents or call in military aircraft to attack them[9][10]—perks, and game modes as Modern Warfare.[11][12] Existing modes present in other installments are included such as "Gun Game", in which the player receives a new weapon each time they kill an opponent, and "Hardpoint", involving players attempting to secure and defend a designated area from the opposing team.[13][14] New modes like "Prop Hunt", where players hide as inanimate objects from the opposition, are also introduced.[15] Medals is another incorporated feature present in previous games. These are awarded to players if specific circumstances are met when killing an opponent.[9] The multiplayer mode offers a larger variety of customization options for profile personalization, guns, and characters.[16][17] The game also added weapons.[18][19][20] All new content can be unlocked through completing challenges, crafting, or buying in-game currency through microtransactions.[16][17][21
