It may only be 1% of the total game but Call Of Duty fans are not happy that part of Special Ops is exclusive to PS4 for a year.
For those of you who missed Sonys State of Play event last night it had a plethora of information on upcoming games, but the fact that the Survival mode for Special Ops in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare was playable first on PlayStation 4 didnt initially cause much of a stir… until everyone found out it was an exclusive for a whole year.
Fans on Reddit havent exactly been thrilled with the news, even though Survival is only one part of the larger Special Ops co-op mode. Its basically a Horde-style defence mode, that proved popular in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 but hasnt been seen again in a while.

You can play Spec Ops and every new bit of content we drop, day one. The only timed exclusivity is Survival, which is a sliver of Spec Ops.

Lets be honest, “ruining” is an exaggeration. Survival is 1% of the game. The other 99% is simultaneous day and date across all platforms. Id rather have everyone playing 99% of the content at the same time than 100% of the content some time later.
