The story in the game is generally regarded as solid but lacks creativity, with some players feeling it could have been improved compared to the original. While it offers immersive elements and nostalgia, the narrative is often hindered by lengthy, non-skippable cutscenes and a lack of player freedom. Overall, it is considered enjoyable, especially for fans of the franchise, but may not satisfy those seeking a more complex storyline.
“The story: it's not completely the same, they have added certain things that make it slightly more immersive.”
“Call of Duty Remastered is the best game and the story mode is also great.”
“Even though the game and the story are known, it's still amazing.”
“Excellent game, but they should've added to the story and made it better than the original; they have the data.”
“Great game, but I feel it doesn't have much of a storyline compared to Ghost.”
“The story is solid, but not very creative; control is taken away from the player every few minutes for boring non-skippable cut scenes.”

The gameplay retains its classic charm, with multiplayer features remaining largely unchanged and still enjoyable. The campaign benefits from enhanced visuals and detailed level design, while maintaining the original layout, making it a nostalgic yet visually appealing experience. Overall, the game runs smoothly on PS5, offering familiar controls reminiscent of the Xbox 360 version.
“The multiplayer gameplay is great, just as I remembered it. There haven't been any major changes on this front, which is definitely a good thing.”
“The gameplay itself is still as good as it was 10 years ago, and this version looks amazing visually. The campaign is one of my all-time favorites, and now with the updated visuals and reworked levels (they are the same layout, they've just added more detail to the levels), it's even better!”
“It runs flawlessly on the PS5, looking beautiful and a bit more colorful, even in HDR. The gameplay is exactly the same, and all controller settings can be adjusted just like in the old game (on the Xbox 360)!”

The monetization strategy of the game has received criticism for its high-priced map packs and the inclusion of microtransactions, especially considering the game's age as a remaster. While the core gameplay is praised, many feel that the content does not justify the £25 price tag, leading to a perception of tackiness in its monetization approach.
“The core game is very good; however, it seems lacking in content for a £25 game. I don't like how we have to pay for the map packs, at least not at the price they are, or the addition of microtransactions. This game is, in all fairness, ten years old, despite the fact it's a remaster (and a good one, don't get me wrong), but it feels slightly tacky in my opinion.”
