With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward is finally bringing a long requested feature to its shooter universe: co-op. The Spec Ops mode is the studio's take on co-op, a separate mode with missions designed exclusively for the co-op experience. The additional effort is appreciated, but what about the single-player campaign? Why not just add more players to that? According to an interview with Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling at VG247, the developer tried that.
“We did it early on; that’s what Spec Ops started out as -- as co-op through story,” said Bowling. "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.”
At least we can scratch the obvious off: why didn't Infinity Ward try to make campaign work in co-op? They did. I'm a fan of having separate co-op missions, anyway.

Spec ops mode looks to be as awesome as the single player. But to me, they should have gone down the path of the Xbox 1 version of Splinter Cell: Double Agent, they should have made the Co-op its own story instead of just random missions. A companion narrative of sorts.

Hey I'm glad they kept co-op seperate. It gives us garunteed quality for the single player campaign.

I don't care about Co-op. I'm kinda glad they didn't add it because I don't want people nagging me into helping them through Co-op. I want to play campaign by myself, and I'll probably only play it twice (once medium or whatever its called and once on veteran). MW2 will be all about the online multiplayer, just like COD4, COD:WAW, and Halo3. I also don't want zombies. If you want to play that zombie crap get L4D2.

i honestly think that they did this for the better. if MW2 is anything like the first one in terms of story then sometimes co-op would be nice *cough*mountedweapons*cough* but it would just ruin that story. so instead of "ok we need to get in there and stop those guys before they blow us up." with just solo then we get "ok lets go in there with 2 or more super soldiers and have an unfair fight where you blow everybody's head off." i mean that is what people want with this co-op story but its much more in depth if you just go around by yourself filling your roll. i very much like it. plus as somebody else said you get much more freedom for spec-ops. so you can have it that you start out with launchers in a level or like they have already shown you get the .50 cal snipers at the beginning. you can just expand your options by separating things.

I like the idea of Spec Ops. I've never been a huge fan of campaign co-op. I think that you can have a much more polished single-player and co-op experience if they are separate. There are exceptions, of course: Resistance: Fall of Man and Gears of War, but overall I applaud Infinity Ward for giving us the best they can rather than something that doesn't work, even if it's what some people want... if that makes sense... :S

That's incredibly racist. That makes no sense.

I agree, it ruins the experience. Like in world at war , that campaign is really good. The experience sux in co-op because it looses it's immersion. Besides i like the idea of new content instead of the same ole stuff w/ more players. One thought tho: It would be cool if developers realized that the Achievement / trophies should be the same Co-op and single player. Like Gears and halo. This way I wouldn't have to say ok ,"let me do some single player for achievements, then co-op for fun w/friends.

Uncharted 2's co-op was amazing. It makes you work as a team. I even found the easy mode to be difficult without team play.

I think Infinity Ward did the right thing not sacrificing the integrity of the single player campaign by making it co-op, too many games have done this thus far. Plus if the Spec Ops mode is totally different from the SP campaign then that's just more game for your money and God knows we can't say that about alot of games anymore.

ODST campaign was really good alone cause u get that feeling but co-op it sucked and even on legendary you could just run through it

I trust Infinity Ward. COD4 had a great campaign, although it was a bit short. I didn't see how co-op would have fit in there. Gears 2 co-op was a ton of fun, but it fit (Marcus and Dom were always together). I was a little bummed out with Uncharted 2 not having a co-op campaign, but the campaign is much better alone, and they also have other co-op modes which are great. I actually like it when they keep the game modes separate - single, co-op, and multiplayer. You get so much bang for your buck.
