A Tour of Modern Warfare®’s Special Ops Mode

The threat to the world doesn’t end as the sun sets on Modern Warfare’s Campaign.

A greater evil has taken over the Eastern Hemisphere, and it is up to the global alliance Armistice, a joint force of Allegiance and Coalition operators led by Kate Laswell (CIA) and Sergeant Kamarov (FSB), to stop a global terror organization.


One of the series’ most popular game modes, Special Ops, is back, and available at launch on October 25. In a series of operations, players assemble into strike teams of four to execute multiphased objectives, which advance an overarching story.

All-New Operations Built for Co-operative Play

Locate your intel, neutralize your targets, and acquire ongoing rewards that come with accomplishing Operations and Missions.

Operations: As you infiltrate one of the many war-torn zones within Special Ops, you and your four-player team decide how to accomplish your Operations. Work together with your squad on interconnected objectives, each culminating in the removal or destruction of a key logistical aspect of the Al-Qatala army.

The enemy reacts to your team’s decisions, meaning the outcome of any battle can change.

At launch, you will have four multistage Operations to play, and more will come throughout the post-launch seasons.

Missions: Complementing the multistage Operations are additional Missions, which can be played solo or with up to four players.

Whereas Operations test strategies and tactical decision making, Missions are a more curated experience, where your proficiency with specific weapons, Killstreaks, and other tools will be challenged. Missions are highly replayable - you’re able to achieve a 1-, 2-, or 3-star ranking based on your performance, or even attempt to complete one in “Infinity Ward time.”

Mode Cross-Progression Rewards: As you complete Special Ops content, expect to receive powerful unlockable items and equipment that can be utilized in both Multiplayer and Special Ops Modes.

Ready Up, Soldier!

Operations carry over all the Operators, Loadouts, and Progress made in Multiplayer. You have access to your own preferred arsenal to carry out any and all Operations in whatever way you choose. Bring your favored equipment, as well as your specific Operator, into the fray.

Know Your Roles: Specific to Special Ops are “Roles”: Prior to dropping into play, you’re able to pick from Assault, Recon, Engineer, Demolition, Medic, and Heavy. Each role comes equipped with a Field Upgrade and a class-specific perk. Pick the Role that best reinforces your style of play.

Killstreaks: Prior to beginning an Operation, you’re able to pick three types of Munitions that offer a similar effect to Killstreaks in Multiplayer Mode. Munition boxes are found in a random location across the map; it’s up to you to find and utilize them.

It’s All Up to You Now; Finish the Mission

Special Ops expands Modern Warfare’s story; whether you and the squad are seizing Al-Qatala assets, tracking down high-value targets, or infiltrating enemy strongholds, you’ll be bringing the Armistice one step closer to making the world a safer place.
