Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 differed in the sense that more often than not, it was best to hold down one area and take things slow. In a vast majority of Call of Duty games, arcadey combat and constant fighting are the norm, with players rushing from one battle to the next. Part of what made Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 feel fresh was its slower, more tactical style. If it is anything like the 2019 version, though, this would hardly be a bad thing. However, with leaks suggesting a horror-focused, PT-like mode as well as something comparable to Escape from Tarkov, Spec Ops will likely be left in the past in favor of something new. As such, if Spec Ops returns in Modern Warfare 2, it needs to be a lot more comparable to what was featured in the older titles. While the attempts at four-player co-op and a greater focus on storytelling were commendable, most would agree that this mode was unenjoyable. The drop from 23 missions to just 8 was noticeable, too. Players fought waves upon waves of overly strong enemies, with only a few different objectives. Reused assets were the least of the mode’s worries, though, as the missions were incredibly unbalanced and repetitive.
Instead of the focused missions that took place in a huge variety of locations from the campaign, players battled through areas from the Warzone map Verdansk, which had already been seen in multiplayer's Ground War mode.
This is in clear contrast to the Spec Ops mode from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, which felt like an afterthought. From racing down a mountain on snowmobiles to completing slow motion room clears, Spec Ops felt like a series of co-op campaign setpieces with some clear passion behind it. This mode saw two players completing a series of focused missions with a single objective, with these brief levels being varied and challenging on high difficulty levels. In the original Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3, Spec Ops mode was a highlight.
