Other Game Modes in MW2

As well as the game modes mentioned above, there are a few other game modes outside of multiplayer to concern yourself with.

The single-player campaign has been out for a while now, and it’s turned out to be a pretty decent rendition if a little short. It’s made up of 17 missions and will run you between 4 – 10 hours depending on how skilled you are.

Then there’s Spec Ops, a co-op game mode that adds a bit of longevity to the game outside of multiplayer matches. At launch, there will be 3 Spec Ops missions, but there are plans for more to be added post-launch.
