The variety within the Spec Ops missions is fantastic too, and it’s very rare that any two are noticeably alike.

For Modern Warfare 2 Infinity Ward has taken that idea and not so much run with it, but run, jumped, hopped onboard a helicopter and laid down a barrage of mini gun fire with it, creating a range of highly replayable co-op levels that span a wide range of game types. Those who’ve completed the original Modern Warfare will have some idea of what to expect from Spec Ops – a little bonus mission was tacked on to the end of the original and it tasked the player with clearing out an airliner full of terrorists in the fastest possible line. That means that there’s no LAN co-op option and no split-screen play on the PC version either. Speaking of which – the Spec Ops mode is, like the multiplayer, tied into IWNet exclusively (which is in turn built on Steamworks and so uses all your Steam friends).

It’s built for two players (read: no three player games), but you can play them through on your own too if you’ve not got a big friends list. Modern Warfare 2 - Spec OpsWhile the multiplayer aspect of MW2 is less complete than what PC gamers have traditionally been offered thanks to some surprise culls, MW2 does go a long way towards making up for it with the inclusion of a new mode.ĭubbed Spec Ops, this new mode is a self-contained set of co-operatively focused missions that are totally removed from both the single and traditional multiplayer portions of the game.
