https://www.overclock3d.net/news/software/call_of_duty_modern_warfare_criticised_for_year-long_exclusivity_of_spec_ops_survival_mode/1 With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, PlayStation 4 owners will have exclusive access to the game's Spec Ops Survival mode, which is due to release on Xbox One and PC on October 1st, 2020. This announcement came during Sony's latest "State of Play" livestream, after which developer Infinity Wars received a lot of flack from fans of the series. In a tweet, Infinity Ward's narrative director Taylor Kurosaki stated that the decision to make that mode exclusive are "above all of our pay grades". All of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's game other game modes, such as the game's Single Player Campaign, Multiplayer and other Spec Ops modes will be available on day-1 on other platforms. Kurosaki commented that Spec Ops Survival is only a "sliver" of the game's Spec Ops mode. In another tweet, Kurosaki stated that "I'd rather have everyone playing 99 per cent of the content at the same time than 100 per cent of the content some time later." Basically, this is better than making the game a timed platform exclusive. Unlike previous Call of Duty releases, the game's map packs will release simultaneously on all platforms, removing the month-long platform exclusivity of prior releases. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will release on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on October 25th, 2019. Personally I find this to be a disappointing announcement.

Activision always pulls stuff like this at the last moment. This is no surprise. EA and Activision have been the leaders in garbage on PC for years now. Not because their games are "technically" bad, but because of all the other garbage that comes along with their games.

What a shame. There was a lot of good momentum for this game until this news.
Doesn't make a difference for me as I don't plan on playing the mode, but I feel for the ones that were planning to on Xbox and PC.

Netcode is everything to me. I like to hit the target from the time I clicked my fire button but these days, it's all about $$$ and the more people you have involved in matches around the globe = more $$$ so they need to increase the latency on others with low pings so it syncs better for those that are with higher pings. It's a joke really and ruins the whole experience. Ever since CoD4/BFBC2, they've been experimenting with this nonsense only to give high end low ping systems a nightmare experience. One of my biggest pet peeves.

I like that they are removing the exclusivity of the map packs. This was always frustrating back in the day. However, I have never purchased a Call of Duty Map Pack before. I think that Activision is behind why the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Survival mode is a timed exclusive to PlayStation 4 until October 2020.
