Black Ops 2 maps reportedly set to make a comeback in Call of Duty 2025

The upcoming Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is already set to give us a heavy dose of nostalgia with remastered maps from 2009's Modern Warfare 2. So, the question arises: Is this a genuine attempt to rekindle our love for the classics, or is Activision just running out of fresh ideas? Some fans argue that it's the latter, pointing out that the franchise seems to be banking heavily on the past to drive its future.

Black Ops 4, for instance, had four maps from previous Black Ops titles in its rotation upon release. Though nostalgia is a powerful marketing instrument, there's a fine line between giving fans what they want and oversaturating a franchise with the same content. It's no secret that one of the most exciting aspects of a new Call of Duty release is mastering the new maps, but with the influx of remastered maps, that thrill is somewhat diminished.

Activision will be closely monitoring how players will receive the remastered maps in Modern Warfare 3 to make a decision on how to progress in future titles. If Activision keeps this up, we might just get a remastered version of the remastered version of our favorite titles at this rate.
