How do you jump into the Safeguard exfil helicopter!? I made the mistake of hopping on Special Ops co-op first on launch night, and it left me baffled. Clearly, I set my expectations far too high for Spec Ops. We have 4 arduous operations and only one classic mission: "Safeguard", which doesn't have any difficulty options, and has a common game-breaking evac chopper design flaw that often prevents winning. The people who were able to win did not unlock anything, or to my knowledge, even receive the promised 3 stars. Not only does it feel like they didn't deliver on many of their promises and selling points for this "next evolution of Spec Ops", for me, it fails to even live up to the MW2 & MW3 co-op experience. The 4 Operations (Headhunter, Kuvalda, Paladin, Crosswind) are more a matter of personal preference, but I found them to be riddled with issues, poor balance, and unfun objectives that were sometimes too difficult and long for a mode with a poor checkpoint system, forcing you to restart from the beginning if you didn't make it far enough or if anyone doesn't vote to retry. That, combined with the lack of challenges and rewards, and the fact that the cross-progression they talked up is borderline pointless, makes it unfun to spend the time developing a winning strategy.
I'd love to hear your opinions on Special Ops, please tell me where I'm wrong about something or where you disagree if you've been enjoying the mode.
