All in all I found Modern Warfare 3’s take on the survival co-op modes strangely addictive. Things ramp up quickly and stay fairly intense all the way through. Turrets, air support, predator missiles and more are all at your disposal - using cash earned from the previous waves to beef up your arsenal. As the waves progress the enemies being to gain more hitpoints and come in greater numbers - so those items you’ve unlocked from your previous play throughs and mission play throughs become crucial. Of course the king enemy is the juggernaut - who drops into battle armed in in a bomb disposal suit made of heavy armor making him a tough cookie to crack. While initially the waves start off pretty harmless, things ramp up quickly as enemies come strapped with dynamite, chemical weapons, or even in support helicopters. After each wave you have a half a minute or so to find different shop points throughout the map to buy weapons, ammo, and other gadgets to help you survive. Enemies come at you in waves, with each successive wave of enemy being more and more difficult. The survival mode reminds me a bit of a love child between Counter-Strike and Horde mode in Gears of War. These unlocks consist of access to better weapons, different perks, as well as special support abilities. This means the other player needs to communicate enemy positions and movement to the player on the ground.Ĭompleting these missions earns you experience and unlocks for the Spec-Ops missions - while these aren’t used in the standard scenario based missions they carry over to the game’s survival mode.
A mission like this becomes thrilling because of the level design the player on the ground has limited visibility thanks to tight corridors and dark areas. Each successful hack allows the other player to control a camera and turret to cover the player attempting to hack. One such mission has a player on the ground hacking laptops found throughout a warehouse district. Where Spec-Ops clearly separates itself are the missions designed for players to work together in separate ways. You and your co-op partner will be tasked with kidnapping the Russian President in an airplane, strapping on bomb suits and disarming chemical weapons, or simply taking out everything that moves. While a perfect playthrough of a mission might only take 3 minutes end to end, it’s getting to that perfect playthrough that’s the challenge. There’s a lot to like here in the Spec-Ops missions, which are clearly designed with replayability and perfectionism in mind.
