Modern Warfare 3 is a game with many different modes, but we do co-op here so we have taken a closer look at the Spec Ops and Survival game modes.  Both modes have you and a partner join forces to take on enemies that come in many different forms. Spec Ops has 16 very different missions and Survival is Modern Warfare's take on the ever popular 'Horde Mode' and both will have you coming back for more.

How is mission progression handled in Spec-Ops?

Players will earn stars depending on what difficulty they chose for a mission. Completing a mission on normal earns you one, hardened earns you two, and veteran earns you three.

After so many stars are earned you'll unlock the next tier of mission. 16 stars is enough to unlock all 16 missions.

 

What does the player level do in Spec-Ops?

Spec-Ops has a completely separate player progression system that's very similar to the versus multiplayer. As you play missions you'll earn experience which counts towards your co-op level. Each time you level up you'll earn unlocks which are used in the game's survival mode.

These upgrades and unlocks include not only weapons, but upgrades to the weapons as well as abilities to call in like a predator missile or a turret.
