Two players for 'Modern Warfare 2' co-op

Infinity Ward has said that Modern Warfare 2’s co-op mode will be capped at two players to avoid confusion.

Director of communications Robert Bowling revealed that he did not want to ruin the main campaign by inserting co-operative play so opted to put it in separate mode Special Ops.

"We don’t do co-op in our story because we’re crafting a very specific experience and we don’t want to ruin that by cramming co-op into it. We take the moments that work really well with co-op, we bring them out and we put them in Special Ops," he told Videogamer.

"[In Special Ops,] it’s all about fun. It’s about playing over and over again, getting a better time – you’ll have a time at the end of it – it’s about challenging a friend going in on co-op and trying to beat it on veteran."

He claimed that any more than two players would have been confusing, saying: "Two player seemed to be the magic number for co-op. That’s when it stayed really fun and intense without becoming a cluster**** of things.

"We just found that two-players was the most fun."

Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, will be released on 360, PS3 and PC on November 17.
