Before Call of Duty had an exclusivity deal with PlayStation, it had one with Microsoft, and the Destiny series has had all sorts of timed-exclusive PlayStation content. Of course, exclusivity deals like these are really nothing new, especially when it comes to Activision.

It's less so that the deal exists at all, and more so that PC and Xbox One owners who get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be blocked out of an entire game mode practically until next year's Call of Duty game will be coming out.

The length of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare PS4 exclusive deal seems to be the main reason why people are upset about it. Some PC and Xbox One players may feel that getting DLC maps for free, and not having to wait for them, is a decent trade-off for losing Spec Ops Survival for a year, but it's clear that many people are still unhappy with the decision.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is doing away with that entirely, and in fact, is giving Call of Duty players all of the DLC maps for free. Since the Xbox 360, Call of Duty games have offered DLC maps to one platform first, for a timed-exclusivity window of about 30 days. This Spec Ops Survival mode exclusivity deal seems to have come about in place of the typical Call of Duty timed-exclusive DLC maps.
The announcement seemed to fly in the face of Activision's initiatives with the game, with cross-play and promises to keep the community together across PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Since it was tacked on at the end of the campaign trailer, the announcement didn't generate much attention at first, but then word of the exclusivity deal started to spread, sparking outrage and disappointment online. At the very end of that trailer, it announced that the upcoming Spec Ops mode would have a Survival variant (essentially the Call of Duty version of Horde Mode), but that it would be exclusive to PlayStation 4 owners for an entire year. While there is still quite a bit of hype for the game, a recent announcement has already alienated some fans, and it threatens to put a stain on a game that has otherwise been met with enthusiasm from the community.ĭuring the most recent PlayStation State of Play presentation, Activision revealed the first major Call of Duty: Modern Warfare campaign trailer. Hype for the upcoming shooter only increased as Activision made one popular, consumer-friendly decision about the game after another, instilling many with confidence that this year's Call of Duty could very well be one of the best yet. Fans were excited by the realistic campaign, return of fan-favorite characters like Captain Price, and the revamped Spec Ops co-op mode that hadn't been seen since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. A few months ago, the hype for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reached levels the franchise hadn't seen in years.
