“Co-op” has a different meaning for Infinity Ward

Posted by herald On July - 7 - 2009

We all know that the meaning of “co-op” in the gaming industry is two players. But with Modern Warfare 2 it is a different story. For them the terminology is different.

For the developer of MW2 the two players is the sweet spot for cooperative-based gameplay. In a recent interview, Robert Bowling, the director of communications of the studio said that in the concept of “co-op” between last year’s Call of Duty: World at War and this years Modern Warfare 2, there will be a definite change.

Bowling further added that they can participate in 4-player campaign co-op, but the new sequel will not be featuring a campaign “co-op” mode. He further said that there is something new as a whole i.e. a two-player, specially designed Special Ops mode. Not forgetting to mention, the game is “designed to be replayed over and over again.”

Let me quote Robert Bowling: “Two player seemed to be the magic number for co-op. That’s when it stayed really fun and intense without becoming a clusterf**k of things. We just found that two-players was the most fun.”

    I think making a game that does not have co-op campaign mode is foolish for anyone these days. Every player out there loves to play campaign with a friend or 3 if not they are really limiting game play.

This October comes the challenge of Modern Warfare and Battlefield: Bad Company. Medal of Honor of Electronic Arts is being released on October 12 and it will challenge both the games for the top spot in the FPS genre.

Last week at E3 gaming event the stills and multi-player footage were released. The footage bound to bring comparison with the MW2 and BBC2.

The styles of the game is similar to the MW2 and BBC2, but MoH appears to concentrate on points and not focus on kills as MW2 does.

Below is the footage of Medal of Honor:
