Spec. Ops
The Special Operations mode is either a single player or two player split screen or online. Two missions MUST be done with two players. You cannot search for partners but only invite people. Each mission is fast paced tough gameplay similar to the mile high club mission on Call of Duty 4. Missions are unlocked by earning stars, which are acquired by playing levels at certain difficulties. Regular difficulty earns one star, hardened earns two, and veteran earns three. Missions will be divided by groups, called Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo, with the latter being the hardest.
If you play two players with one person on a different/lower difficulty then the other person then the stars earned will not be as high as it could be. If one person is playing on veteran and the other is playing on hardened then the highest amount of stars that person can get is two stars instead of three stars for completing the mission. If one person goes down then they go into last stand unless they get shot even more then they’re just down and can not shoot. The partner can revive them, but if both partners are down then the mission is failed. On certain missions where the partners can’t revive eachother the mission will end once of the the team mates dies, he will not go into last stand.
