Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 have recently been rated by the Australian Classification Board, a governmental body responsible for media and game classifications. This development has sparked excitement among fans, as it likely indicates Activision Blizzard's plans to re-release the original 2009 and 2011 versions of these iconic games, potentially with online play support.

Earlier this year, rumors surfaced about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 joining Game Pass. Fans quickly reminisced about *MW2'*s legendary multiplayer, especially since the 2020 remastered version notably excluded it. Now, with the Australian ratings for MW2 and MW3, hopes are high that Activision might finally revive the beloved online PvP experience.

According to Insider Gaming, the Australian Classification Board published two MA 15+ ratings on April 3, 2025: one for the PlayStation 5 cross-gen version of Modern Warfare 2 and another for the standard cross-gen version of Modern Warfare 3. Both are listed as Activision Blizzard productions, with 2025 marked as the "year of production." Notably, *MW3'*s rating mentions "in-game purchases," fueling speculation about online multiplayer support.

In 2024, a fan attempted to mod multiplayer into *MW2'*s remastered edition through a project called H2M. However, Activision issued a cease-and-desist order, halting the effort. This move suggests the company recognizes the value in updating classic titles without full remasters. The recent Australian ratings further hint at official ports for current-gen consoles.

Beyond MW2 and MW3, rumors about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 have also emerged. Reports claim it's in development for next-gen Xbox, with a potential 2026 release date—possibly as a launch title for Microsoft's new console. However, Activision has yet to confirm these details, leaving fans eagerly awaiting official announcements.
