Most great games these days include co-operative campaign modes - not only does it share the great gameplay experience, but it can also add more fun when trying to complete a games hardest difficulty setting. Since Modern Warfare 2 has had the co operative experience removed from the game it looks like we’ll all be doing ‘Veteran Difficulty’ alone (again!).

Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling, speaking to VG247, explained the reason for such omission:

Originally, the game was supposed to have a co-op campaign, but the feature was dropped because it “ruined the experience” they wanted for the campaign

“We did it early on; that’s what Spec Ops started out as, as co-op through story,” he said

“But it really broke the cinematic experience, took the immersion out of it, out of the story and the pacing and everything we’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.”

nstead of having a co-op campaign, the game features the mentioned Special Ops mode. What is it? It’s a series of side missions that aren’t related to the campaign, but can be played with full 4-player co-op

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

“So you can play moments directly taken from the single-player, in Spec Ops, but it’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.”

Modern Warfare 2 will be released on November 10th for X360, PS3 and PC. You may have heard rumours online regarding a delayed PC release - this was later confirmed false by Infinity Ward and the PC game will also feature Prestige mode and Steam Support.
