File requirements
Supply your own lawfully obtained Xbox 360 USA/Europe version 1.0.557 disc ISO; the launcher checks it, then downloads and applies Title Update 6. Requires an x64 SSE4.2 processor, Vulkan 1.2, about 8 GB disk space and a controller; keyboard controls cover menus only. Experimental PC custom-map imports also need assets from your own PC copy.

What it recreates
A native Windows and Linux recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 (2009).
What’s different
Translates the Xbox 360 executables ahead of time with a host runtime, supporting up to four-player split screen, private friend matches and LAN. v0.8.1 adds up to 16x anisotropic filtering and 4x shadow resolution. It remains distinct from Maurice’s private source reconstruction.
What you can use today
The main download remains stable v0.8.1 for Windows and Linux. v0.8.2 is a separate prerelease. Launch mw2-launcher with your own supported ISO; use the regular platform package, as same-version -steam/-lan files are duplicate compatibility downloads. Public matchmaking/ranked play are unsupported; custom maps remain beta. Steam SYSTEM LINK is discoverable by other Steam users, and shared relay/LAN users can also reach games. Use the same version and trusted friends. The author reports network fixes; RemakeList has neither audited security nor installed or played it.
