Infinity Ward was suppose to offer a full cooperative play for Modern Warfare 2's (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) story mode, but decided to drop it in the last minute because it ruined the experience. So instead of a full co-op mode, the devs decided to include Spec Ops mode. According to Robert Bowling:

We did it early on; thatÂ’s what Spec Ops started out as, as co-op through story. But it really broke the cinematic experience, took the immersion out of it, out of the story and the pacing and everything weÂ’d spent so long crafting. It just ruined the experience we were aiming for, so we took it out, kept the single-player for that one player intact and polished it.


But then there were moments that were really fun with two players, so we took those moments and put them in Spec Ops.


So you can play moments directly taken from the single-player, in Spec Ops, but itÂ’s polished towards those two players so the experience is pure. You really get the best of both worlds: you get the moments that were fun, but the moments that were shitty we took out.


Joel Emslie, lead character artist of the game also give us a rundown of what to expect on the Specs Ops Mode. here take a look.


Modern Warfare 2 will be out on November 10.

"You really get the best of both worlds: you get the moments that were fun, but the moments that were *****ty we took out."



Since I believe this mode does not include over 50% of the game, then one could make the assumption that the game is mostly *****ty?





Nah, just kidding. This game will be awesome.

alot of people hated campaign on 4 but i loved it



but it was probably my first real next gen game and thats why



anyway this game seems to be going down and down on my list

simply everything they have shown have complicated things way to much, deathstreaks and all that crap



the reason i liked 4 was, you pressed a button and you where chucked into a game, no select server crap



anyway im preparing for it, ive started playing old old ps2 games, again so the next game ill play is cod mw2, so i dont get my hopes up like the massive jump i had from ps2 to mw

How is this news or "revealed" we've known about spec ops only for forever now? I'm psyched for the game but Im getting sick of these stupid little nonsense bits of news about the same stuff over and over that IW keeps trying to remake as new every way they possibly can to keep attention.
