Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 now supports cross-play without any console mods
In a remarkable achievement, the 17-year-old classic Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 now supports cross-play between PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC—all without requiring any console modifications. This feature was developed by the community developer @ClassicsGG and is now live for players to use.
The cross-play implementation allows players on different legacy platforms to play together seamlessly, breathing new life into the decade-old multiplayer experience. This is particularly noteworthy given that these platforms are no longer officially supported by most modern game services. Players interested in participating can join the project’s Discord community for more information and support.
The launch has not been entirely smooth. The original demonstration video showcasing the cross-play feature was removed due to a copyright claim. While the legitimacy of this claim remains unclear, it highlights potential licensing and copyright considerations surrounding the revival of older game titles and community-driven projects.
This development represents a significant technical achievement in game preservation, demonstrating how dedicated community efforts can extend the lifespan of classic titles and create innovative ways for players to engage with beloved games across different platforms—even after official support has ended.
