Remaster World at War!


Remaster World at War!
The Issue
WAW is one of the best if not the best COD in my opinion. But there aren't that many people who play it these days and a lot of them are hackers. I would be so happy if Treyarch could make a remastered version of WAW So if you would like to see WAW remastered please sign this petition! I know they have already released WW2 but it just isn't the same it is also the birth place of the famous zombies franchise! Not to mention the great campaign and great online maps. Please help me bring back WAW!!!
Dear team members of Microsoft,
I am writing to present a strategic opportunity that aligns with both the passion of the Call of Duty community and Microsoft’s vision for innovation, player satisfaction, and long-term franchise value. I respectfully urge you to consider remastering Call of Duty: World at War as a premier initiative to restore confidence in the Call of Duty brand and reaffirm your leadership in the first-person shooter market.
Over the past several years, Call of Duty has remained one of the most iconic and influential gaming franchises in history. Yet, despite its commercial success, a significant portion of the dedicated player base has expressed declining confidence in the franchise’s direction — particularly regarding innovation, transparency, and reverence for the series’ roots. Call of Duty: World at War represents a defining moment in the franchise: a critically beloved title known for its gritty storytelling, balanced gameplay, and community-driven multiplayer experience. It has endured in cultural relevance precisely because of the emotional and nostalgic connection players have to it.
To that end, I initiated a petition calling for an official remaster of World at War, which has since gained meaningful traction. You can view the petition here: https://c.org/hZLYhpqQQk
Here are the key reasons why remastering Call of Duty: World at War is the most viable option to reenergize the franchise and rebuild trust:
1.Community-Driven Demand: The petition demonstrates passionate grassroots support. Fans are actively advocating for this remaster — not merely as nostalgia, but as a genuine desire for quality content that honors the franchise’s legacy.
2.Market Potential: The resurgence of remastered classic titles across the industry has shown that properly executed remasters can drive significant revenue and engagement. World at War has the iconic multiplayer maps, World War II setting, and cooperative modes that are proven crowd-pleasers.
3.Brand Goodwill: Delivering a remaster with modern enhancements — including updated visuals, improved netcode, enhanced matchmaking, and quality-of-life features — would showcase Microsoft’s willingness to listen to fans and deliver what the community truly wants.
4.Strategic Positioning: As new Call of Duty titles continue to roll out under your stewardship, balancing fresh entries with celebrated classics can create a richer ecosystem that appeals to both longtime fans and newcomers.
5.Cultural Legacy: World at War is more than a game; it’s a cultural touchstone that helped define modern multiplayer shooter expectations. Honoring that legacy reinforces confidence that Microsoft values Call of Duty’s heritage as much as its future.
I believe that official support for this remaster — with the resources and vision that only Microsoft and its development partners can provide — would not only validate the community’s voice but also strengthen the franchise’s relevance in a competitive market.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this proposal further and share additional community insights.
