With the Raids, a new type of co-op mode is to be introduced in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. What information is available so far, you can find out here.
The multiplayer of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was only recently unveiled, and now an extraordinary number of players were able to lend a hand in the open beta. So it”s no wonder that all kinds of topics are being discussed, from too low time to kill to the lack of 3D spotting. In contrast, there is hardly any talk about the completely new co-op mode: the raids. But official information and insiders can already tell us what”s in it.

What are Raids in Modern Warfare 2?
There”s little official info on raids in Modern Warfare 2 so far, with the blog post for the multiplayer reveal simply stating:
“Raids have been confirmed for later this year after launch for players:inside Modern Warfare II and are a completely new experience for the game series. It”s a three player:in co-op experience that requires teamwork and strategic thinking to solve puzzles between intense battles”
While this description gives us a rough idea of the new game mode – we”ll be fighting battles against the AI in threes and probably solving several puzzles – noted insider Tom Henderson claims to have found out even more about the raids.

More details on Raids by Tom Henderson
(Henderson reports on the website Insider Gaming) of further details about the raids that have been brought to his attention by sources. He also refers to possible clues in the game files.
More detailed information is available on the first raid: Here we are supposed to infiltrate a submarine base. We have to move partially under water and share an oxygen tank with three other people. We also have to solve two puzzles, one of which is supposed to be about numbers, the other about a labyrinth under water. Perhaps this is also the task with the oxygen tank.
Raids will probably get their own maps: Henderson further reports that images found during data mining indicate that the raids will get their own maps. In addition, they are always said to be similar infiltration scenarios to the submarine base.
Like Destiny, only more tactical: Another source states that the raids are supposed to be similar to the co-op shooter Destiny, but play more tactically. The players always have to coordinate well with each other in order to be successful.
In Modern Warfare 2, by the way, battles against the AI do not only play a major role in the raids. The DMZ mode, reminiscent of Escape from Tarkov, also relies on enemy AI groups. You can find all the information on this in our article
What do you think of the raid mode? Are you happy to be able to compete with friends against the AI? Or would you rather throw yourself into merciless multiplayer matches against human opponents? Feel free to post your opinion in the comments.
