Despite Treyarch's Call of Duty: World at War featuring a four-player co-operative campaign, Infinity Ward believes that two is the magic number for co-op.

Speaking to Videogamer.com, Robert Bowling, community manager at Infinity Ward, added that modern Warfare 2 won't feature co-op in its campaign since they didn't want to "ruin the story by cramming co-op into it." Instead the game will feature a two-player Special Ops mode.

"We don’t do co-op in our story because we’re crafting a very specific experience and we don’t want to ruin that by cramming co-op into it," Bowling said. "We take the moments that work really well with co-op, we bring them out and we put them in Special Ops."

"Story’s all about pacing," he added. "Sometimes moments get toned down because they don’t fit with the pacing of the experience you’re trying to deliver. There [in Special Ops] it’s all about fun. It’s about playing over and over again, getting a better time – you’ll have a time at the end of it – it’s about challenging a friend going in on co-op and trying to beat it on veteran.”

As for the two-player limitation, Bowling replied:

"Two player seemed to be the magic number for co-op. That’s when it stayed really fun and intense without becoming a clusterf*** of things. We just found that two-players was the most fun."
