Spec Ops DLC possible for MW2 News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Tom Bramwell

11 November, 2009

Infinity Ward will "totally" consider doing downloadable Spec Ops content for Modern Warfare 2 according to the developer's 'creative strategist' Robert Bowling.

"There's totally a chance for it. I mean, Spec Ops is a great mode that is built where it could be expanded if we want," Bowling told MTV in a pre-launch interview.

"So I mean, once the game is out we're going to take a little break and play with everybody and see what they want more of. I mean, if everybody's clamouring for more Spec Ops missions, that's something we're going to look at."

Spec Ops is the mode where players can work alone or co-operatively to complete smaller missions in an attempt to earn stars and improve leaderboard placings.

It's the third pillar of Modern Warfare 2 besides the explosive campaign and expansive competitive multiplayer modes, and was greeted warmly in yesterday's 9/10 review.

Infinity Ward has previously announced two downloadable map packs for Modern Warfare 2, both of which will be timed Xbox 360 exclusives, and one of which may be out in spring 2010.

What? You mean IW are going to support their game with DLC this time?
Revelations people! They've seen the light and it costs 800MSP

If I'd known they were going to make the map packs platform exclusive then I wouldn't have picked the game up. Hmph.

EG, you could have subbed him a bit.
Was there really a need to leave in all those "I means" in his quote?

Robert Bowling - Creative Strategist? I thought he was just their community guy, you know? The guy who runs his mouth all the time on Twitter et al?

My understanding was that it was Jason West who is the main driver behind the IW Call of Duty series.

They are only timed exclusives. There is a pretty generous selection of MP maps there already I thought.

I thought Robert Bowling's job was to annoy the PC Community.

Can computer game spokespersons please refrain from using the following two words for emphasis:

"totally"
"absolutely"

Thank you.

Exclusive, even timed exclusive content additions to multiplatform games simply has to stop. It's sending a very bad message out to the people who buy your games. Whenever I see these "exclusive content" announcements this is what I hear:

"360 guys are loyal fans to our franchise that we wish to support as much as we can. PS3 guys however are mere consumers and we thank you for your money"

Essentially everyone who bought this game for the PS3 or PC just subsidised the development of content that they will not be able to experience. Bad show IW, bad show.

The first thing they need to fix is thing is the PS3 Online Invite issue, made playing coop special ops a nightmare until I found this resolution at http://snedwan.com

I really enjoyed Special Ops mode though, an excellent addition to the game.
