CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Will Have Three Spec Ops Missions At Launch

gamespot.com:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches on October 28, and Activision has finally revealed more details for what players can expect at launch for the game's cooperative Special Ops «Spec Ops» mode.

Modern Warfare 2's Spec Ops mode is a 2-player co-op experience. Activision says it will initially feature three missions at launch, meaning more missions could potentially arrive at a later date. These will be large-scale missions taking place in Al Mazrah, the new map location for Warzone 2.0.

The three missions are detailed below:

In Spec Ops, players will have access to a backpack to store equipment and one of three Kits. Special Ops Kits are similar to having a set of perks, field upgrades, and killstreaks in multiplayer.

These Kits are leveled up by earning stars through missions and mission-related challenges, which the publisher says gives all three of these launch missions plenty of replayability.

Activision also mentioned that players will want to complete the Spec Ops missions and have at least one Kit leveled up to Rank 5 before Raids arrive post-launch. While it doesn't specify why, presumably this means kits will be factored into the Raids, which are described as being a direct continuation of the campaign. This new Raid feature will be introduced to Spec Ops sometime in Season 1.

Those with digital preorders of the game will receive early access to Modern Warfare 2's campaign, starting on October 20. Additionally, Activision
