PlayStation has an exclusive contract with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and thus exclusive content for the Sony console. Check out what is specifically available, what has come with Season 2, and what the Survival mode has to offer.
Since the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, PlayStation has had its own content and is ahead of other platforms in terms of content.
Currently, this includes the Survival mode with 5 maps and 2 mission lines in multiplayer, each with a weapon blueprint as a reward.
However, many players are not interested in the content that Sony has negotiated. Here are some details about the PlayStation exclusives.
Special content for PlayStation will come to PC and Xbox later
What kind of special content is this? To be clear, there are no additional multiplayer maps for PlayStation. The new seasons and other content for the multiplayer mode come to the platforms simultaneously.
However, players on PlayStation can play a co-op mode that others will have to do without for now. The Survival mode is somewhat reminiscent of the Zombie mode from earlier CoD titles and sends hordes of enemies against you.
There is a small special feature for PS players in the multiplayer after all. There are 2 mission lines, with which the Sony soldiers can unlock some special weapon blueprints at the end.
When will these items be available for other platforms? The exclusivity runs until October 1st. By that time, many players will likely have lost interest in Modern Warfare.
What came with Season 2? With the new season, the Survival mode is being further expanded and will receive an additional map. Azhir Cave is already known from multiplayer and now gets a survival variant.
In addition, PlayStation players received a second mission line for multiplayer. Along with experience points, there is a nice weapon blueprint at the end.
Survival mode small variety, weapon skins easy to unlock
What can the Survival mode do? This 4-player co-op mode is reminiscent of the zombie missions from earlier CoD titles, but it cannot compete with the complexity at all.
You are placed on a map and must survive waves of enemies that become stronger with each new wave. Instead of points, you earn money in your account with hits, kills, or actions. With this money, you can buy weapons, killstreaks, and equipment to fight against the hordes of enemies. Since the start of the second season, there are 5 maps for the Survival mode.
Especially with a larger team, the Survival mode can be fun. However, it lacks the tasks and puzzles from the Zombie mode to remain interesting for a longer period. For warming up or for a quick round in between, the Survival mode is definitely suitable.
How good are the weapon skins? Both exclusive skins come in a metallic blue and look quite nice. The missions to secure the skins go quickly, unlike some other standard missions.
On PlayStation you can secure two nice skins. The PKM is even considered the strongest LMG and you would gladly take a cool skin for such a weapon.
Ultimately, the skins do not make a big difference, and the experience points from the mission lines are quickly forgotten. To unlock “Frosty Jack,” the co-op mode would need to be played, which might deter some.
The bonus is less significant than the Survival mode, but a nice addition for PlayStation players.
Exclusive content is nice, but nothing more
Don’t worry if you are playing on Xbox or PC. The Survival mode is a nice gimmick, but not a huge hit.
How is the mode received? It can be fun to shoot your way through hordes of enemies. However, just like the normal SpecOps missions, the Survival mode is not well received by many players. The mode has fans, but often the comments sound like this:
- Torchic-The-Pyro: “I made it to wave 69 with randoms. We then decided to take ourselves out because it was boring.”
- Green_Dayzed: “Survival mode is an exclusive hot mess.”
- MaximumSandwich5: “The game mode is complete trash. Why did Sony pay for this crap lmao? All it brought was some unnecessary chaos.”
If you have the chance to play Modern Warfare on PlayStation, feel free to take it. You get a small extra mode and nice skins. By the way, you can now even play on the console with a mouse and keyboard. Incidentally, controller players currently have an advantage due to a bug.
The extra content does not blow anyone away, and no one on the other platforms should be too sad about not playing on PlayStation.
Do you think the Survival mode was a reason for some to play Modern Warfare on PS4? Do you actually find the mode really good?
