Why is MW2 missing?
-
It has been answered dozens if not hundred of times already yes
MW2 has had dozens of clients probably since its release date/few years after its release date so there is no reason to create yet another when there are so many available out there already
It's not like Plutonium would add any value to this game that's been modded in every possible way already
TLDR:
- No added value for the users
- No fun/challenge doing it for Plutonium's devs
- (Good) options already exist
Resxt I think the value for the users (at least for me) would be that Plutonium launcher could be a nice clean place for all these clients to exist. A lot of the MW2 clients out there are variations or they add some bs and aren't as vanilla as they should be. Plutonium has a nice standard imo compared to other clients. That being said, I totally understand not adding it because it also further divides the already small community.

No, and that’s the problem. This is a list of all the clients that MW2 has had since 4D1 (Four Delta One).
alterIWnet
RepZ
React IW4
iw4play
iw4xThe whole player base got fragmented since the days of RepZ and 4WPlay. There is no community left, and if you really wanted to play, you would already have a client.

Not to mention HMW, which isn't exactly vanilla but still a great way to play.
DrSkum88 Yea H2M/HMW was a huge disappointment. I actually asked them to ban me from the discord cause the shit is ass. It was cool at first but once they started adding random shit from other games it was ruined. It was weird to because for the first month or so they swore that they would keep it vanilla and then they slowly started adding stuff. I loved Repz, have a lot of memories on that, although that wasn't exactly vanilla either.

If you want the "vanilla" version, you should either play on Steam or build a community to host a vanilla server.
You’re not going to find a true vanilla experience in any older CoD, and the client has nothing to do with that.
Server owners are the people you should reach out to if you want to request those kinds of changes. -

Yes, it is. Sadly, there aren’t that many people playing it. I wish it were more popular, like BO2.
The same thing happens with BO3 and other CoDs. -

ChosenUndead I wish someone was able to make a vanilla version with proper voice chat and lobbies on pc instead of server browser. I know H2M got voice chat but I don't think any others do.

And why don't you play mw2 2009 on steam? There are some serverChosenUndead Maybe just maybe because it's a big security risk. Or did you already forget the remote code execution vulnerability? It's the same thing with MW3 (2011). I tried to play it before I knew about Plutonium and the very first match a hacker hijacked the lobby and tried to send an infected packet and execute remote code but thankfully Bitdefender blocked it and closed the whole game before it could do anything. Plutonium doesn't have this issue so it's a real shame that the developers didn't bother to add MW1 and MW2. Every Call of Duty from Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare all the way up to Black Ops 3 are affected by the same vulnerability so it's a huge security risk to try and play the original games online in public lobbies.

LoneWolf-FIN there are other clients that exist, Plutonium isn't the only client for Call of Duty games
We don't have MW2 because MW2 already has clients, same for COD 4
