Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 both featured a co-op mode called Spec Ops, where players could complete challenges with a friend to earn stars. These mini-missions would ramp up in difficulty the more players were able to complete, and were home to some fairly notable moments. Spec Ops in the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be largely the same.
“Co-Op is going to be the same thing,” according to one Infinity Ward dev speaking during an E3 livestream. “But it’s Spec Ops like you’ve never seen before; Spec Ops to the 11th power. Crank the knob off, break it, and then throw it away.”
One difference between Spec Ops in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the Spec Ops mode featured in past Call of Duty games is that this version will apparently have a narrative. “It can have a narrative this time. The narrative goes across all the modes. It’s one universe,” explained Infinity Ward. One of the goals Infinity Ward has with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is achieving consistency and continuity between all of the game modes, so “the story continues in all modes.”
It’s possible we will get a look at the story-based co-op in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare when the game is showcased as part of the E3 Coliseum event on Tuesday, June 11 at 3pm PT. That’s unconfirmed at this time, but anyone looking forward to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the return of Spec Ops should definitely tune in just in case.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will launch on October 25 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
