Infinity Ward: Modern Warfare 2's co-op 'broke the cinematic experience'


4.8

Modern Warfare 2 will not be without some form of co-op. The game features Spec Ops mode, a mission-based multiplayer experience that supports up to two players via local split-screen or online. Infinity Ward initially had planned to offer co-op throughout the game's main campaign, but decided the overall experience ultimately suffered because of it.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling told VG247 that co-op in the main campaign "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." Bowling also said it "ruined the experience" that Infinity Ward was aiming for, forcing the developer to redirect those efforts into polishing the campaign as an exclusively single-player experience. We'll all find out if the game is better off for it -- some in night-vision goggles -- come November 10.[via Joystiq]

im not quite sure if this co-op is going to be very good i mean if it was just straight nazi zombies than it would be amazing

I think doing it co-op would take you out of the experience. My friends are always yelling and rushing and I like to take the game seriously. I will try to beat this one on veteran right away.

hmmm well i guess depending on which missions it was, but i guess we wont know if it really took away from it untill the game comes out

hey as long as it is making the game better i am happy. plus from what i have seen from the campaign it looks pretty single player oriented so i am glad that they did this

Hmm .. modern warfare 2 campaign would be good split screen but with my *TINY* Tv playing split screen would be hard to see, even harder than finding my peni* ..

I dont think coop has to make the game or be as good as the rest of the game. Most people that play coop dont do it for the visuals they do it to have fun with their friends. I think coop would have been interesting...

i dont think co op would have taken it away from the game they could have made it unlocked once you finish the game so you can do the game on a harder mode with yours friends i think that idea would have worked the same as nazi zombies was when waw came out you had to finish the game to unlock it and i think if everyone finished the game and they then had co op then they would all know what to do and it would make it better working in teams so thats my idea
