..... It’s about challenging a friend....
Are they idiots??? You don't CHALLENGE a friend in coop - you play WITH them. They obviously have no clue what coop is - no wonder they killed it. 2 player coop is the best - sheesh.

Taken from IW forums:
Number of Players:
Campaign: 1 Special Operations Mode: 1-2 Online Multiplayer: TBA
I believe that the 2 player coop they talk about is for the consoles (like in Halo), as you can see they haven't said anything (as far as I can find) about online games modes.

Where did you find that Blood?
I didn't see that on IW forums, and no other source is official.
Also I still don't see anything that has to do specifically with PC online muti-player.
I'm sure we'll get more definitive information in the near future.

"Two-player is the “magic number” for co-op, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward has said.
The last Call of Duty game, Treyarch's World at War, featured four-player campaign co-op and a bonus four-player survival Zombie Mode.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, due out worldwide on November 10, won't have a campaign co-op mode at all. Instead it will have a two-player Special Ops mode, “designed to be replayed over and over again”.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Robert Bowling, director of communications/community manager at Infinity Ward, explained the decision, saying it didn't want to “ruin the story by cramming co-op into it”.
He said: “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. 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.”
When asked why Special Ops was limited to two players, not four, 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**k of things. We just found that two-players was the most fun.”

If you read between the lines you'll see that he doesn't say what platform this will be for.
Also he says campaign Coop and not just a Coop mode, so there is no reason to think that there will not be normal coop missions for more than two people [crosses fingers].
Also to me he seems to be talking more about the console version than the PC one (which are two very different platforms).
That all put together with the fact that he is just a PA guy and not a game developer at IW means I have hope of a Coop we can all play...
If you try to run, I've got six little friends and they can all run faster than you can.

Smf, no one is saying that what Infinity Ward listed for this game is just for the PC.
The fact of the matter is as far as i can see that they arnt specifying a certain platform but telling us about the game on all platforms so as it stands this applys to PS3, XBOX360 AND PC.
Blood was just making a statement that its a bit rubbish that it only has a 2 player co-op regardless of what platform.

...and for those who wants to fight with a kind of coop in cod4, they should join a freezetag-server, its very close to coop, because you must unfreeze your teamm8s to win the game, your team win, if there are all enemys frozen, funny mod if you play via ts or vt
