Modern Warfare 2 SpecOps Mode 2 Player Only
No campaign Co-op. No 4 player survival mode. Really ?
After the success of Call of Duty: World at War’s zombie mode and 4 player campaign co-op, it comes as a real surprise to learn that Infinity Ward’s greatly anticipated game, Modern Warfare 2, will include no co-op campaign and no 4 player survival type side game.
It seems Infinity Ward have taken their own path with the SpecOps mode that they have included in the game – only supporting 2 players!
IW didn’t want to “ruin the story by cramming co-op into itâ€
“We don’t do co-op in our story because we’re crafting a very specific experience and we don’t want to ruin that by cramming co-op into it. We take the moments that work really well with co-op, we bring them out and we put them in Special Ops.â€
“Story’s all about pacing,†he added. “Sometimes moments get toned down because they don’t fit with the pacing of the experience you’re trying to deliver. There (in Special Ops) it’s all about fun. It’s about playing over and over again, getting a better time – you’ll have a time at the end of it – it’s about challenging a friend going in on co-op and trying to beat it on veteran.â€
When asked why Special Ops was limited to two players, not four, Bowling replied:
“Two player seemed to be the magic number for co-op. That’s when it stayed really fun and intense without becoming a clusterf**k of things. We just found that two-players was the most fun.â€
I know alot of people has been hoping for something simular to the WaW zombie mode in MW2, and since that was the only gametype I enjoyed on WaW – it would have been an intresting way to combine an awesome game with an awesome game mode. IMHO; WaW is a sucky game, with one excellent game mode – but then again, the Horde thing is Treyarch’s thing.
