VG247 quotes Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling explaining that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was to contain a full co-op mode, but this was axed for the dedicated co-op structured missions of Spec Ops. Here's why co-op was killed: "But it really broke the cinematic experience, took the immersion out of it, out of the story and the pacing and everything we’d spent so long crafting. It just ruined the experience we were aiming for, so we took it out, kept the single-player for that one player intact and polished it." There's also a new Modern Warfare 2 Infinity Ward Interview Video on GameVideos and a Spec Ops Mode Interview video on GameTrailers.
