Modern Warfare 3's Survival Mode Detailed
Modern Warfare 3's "Survival Mode" has been detailed and it will come as part of the Spec Ops mode, which will be playable in multiplayer as well as single-player, unlike Modern Warfare 2.
According to the USA Today the Spec Ops mode will contain a progressive ranking system, matchmaking, leaderboards, and the survival mode.
“All that stuff really fleshes out Spec Ops and adds in a lot that we know our fans are going to love, some of the most addictive aspects of Multiplayer,” said Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling.
“You definitely have to change up your strategy as the enemy changes up,” Bowling said. “Obviously how you fight the kamakazi dudes is different from how you fight the normal dudes and how you fight a dog is different from a dude and how you fight juggernauts, they are not only big and armored, so they will just brute force come at you. But they each have their own way of being taken out effectively.”
“We have all been challenged. There’s such hard-core players out there in the online community and you hear all the stories about the 8-year-olds, 12 year-olds and 13-year-olds swearing and ruining the experience,” added Sledgehammer’s Michael Condrey.
“With Spec Ops, you can really get in there and hone your skills in a more confined environment. I think it’s a little more of an easy entry. I don’t have as much time as I did when I was 20 to be honing my twitch skills, but this certainly gives me a venue to experiment.”
Modern Warfare 3 is out on November 8 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
