Got the news from the Socom forums. It sucks that this game has only respawn game modes in the multiplayer.
Hopefully you add non respawn game modes in the future for the multiplayer.

Well, then im not interested.
Is it really that hard to make a few non respawn game modes. Thats all I ask for.
Also, how was this confirmed?
Some guy from the socom forums was at the pax and asked the devs.
That's weird, because everyone on the livestream said they weren't talking MP at all at PAX.
Well extra modes might be added at a lter date, it is a fairly common practice nowadays, so I suppose there is still hope.

Well when/if that happens I will take another look at the game. But without that, I have absolutely no interest.Originally Posted by Cjail
Agreed I am crossing this one off the list with the news that there will be no non-respawn game modes.
Here's a new multiplayer preview. They are talking about three game modes and all of them are respawn only.

Are people only interested in MP ?!, I mean yeah it maybe important, but I find Spec Ops The Line selling point is it's SP Campaign potential, not the MP.
Not getting the game cause you don't like the MP would suck, the SP offers some team command, Gray Morality System, and a great story, not to mention it looks really amazing.
why miss that for the MP !!!, the MP may not support non respawn but it will support team work and encourage communication, I hope people reconsider.
Think those that came from the socom forums only really cared about multi
I don't and having seen the videos I care even less now
I will give it a try but it's the SP I'm interested in.
Tbh, I'm not sure why anyone comes to a game being produced by 2K for an MP game... As much as I love the games that they put out, MP is really not what they are known for. On the other hand, they're the masters of storytelling and atmosphere. Everything I've seen for Spec Ops on that front doesn't seem likely to disappoint.
Look at it this way though: it does suck that the people who wanted what they wanted for MP didn't get what they wanted. But, I never saw 2K/Yager make any promises about the MP at all. In fact, they've been dead silent about it since the demo and even then prior to that they didn't say much.
I totally agree on the SP part, and I think you are right, SOCOM fans probably interested in MP above all.Think those that came from the socom forums only really cared about multi

@Codex: I am yet to play Bioshock, but wasn't the MP in BioShock 2 good ?!, also I agree 2K/Yager didn't really seem to focus that much on MP, the SP footage looks amazing and highly polished, unlike the MP, on the other hand there was a beta a year ago or something, that beta made me think that the MP will be an amazing experience, especially since it started too early, maybe they didn't get enough feedback ?!
Last thing, I really hope that SP is 25hr long or something, especially since the game is kinda linear, I don't want it to end in like 6hrs, SP is the big reason why I am getting SO:TL
Depends on who you talk to. I'm not an MP person, so I'm not the best person to askI thought it was ok, but there's nothing to really pull me in. I pretty much only play games for SP, so I honestly can't tell you whether it was good or not.
25 hours? Uh... Well... The last games I played that gave me that kind of playtime were Arkham City, Skyrim and Assassins Creed II. Given that those are all distinctly not shooters (even TPS shooters), something tells me 25 hours is a bit of a reach...also I agree 2K/Yager didn't really seem to focus that much on MP, the SP footage looks amazing and highly polished, unlike the MP, on the other hand there was a beta a year ago or something, that beta made me think that the MP will be an amazing experience, especially since it started too early, maybe they didn't get enough feedback ?!

However, these posts are really off topic to the original thread intent. I can make a new thread or we can get back on topic - your guy's choice.
No need for a new topic Codex, the forum isn't that crowded, I will refrain from takeing the topic off, Sorry about that.
Just one last thing, I totally respect you, you are a rather reflection for myself, I too only play games for SP, and rarely play MP, I didn't even try Assassin's Creed MP at all.
You can only play SP so many times before it becomes stale. MP is what keeps people playing a game.Think those that came from the socom forums only really cared about multi

Spec ops being 4v4 would have been the perfect scenario for them to implement it, buried looks like a really dull mode and it doesn't interest me in the slightest. would have been a better Co-op experience to do a similar mode to horde with re-spawning enemies and limited lives & ranging difficulty's.
The majority yes, though not me, I have many games I still go back to for sp, there are a lot of games I buy I dont even bother with multi unless there is co op.
If it's all respawn them im out as well. May as well go play COD or BF3 at that point as they already have most of that market covered. Won't be anything new here. And as far as people buying the game for SP. Might as well rent the game. SP games with replayability are few and far between and this doesen't seem like it's going to make that list.
Hey guys, it was just confirmed by 2K that there is a non-respawn game mode called "Attrition" on their livestream.
Also: It's fun!
2K David,
Why did you guys wait so long to answer the question regarding non-respawn game modes? The game comes out tomorrow and this thread was started months ago.
I'm sure that you want this game to do well. I know I do, and I don't even work for 2K. The forum community's answers to their respective questions should have been doled out a while past in order to secure a good following. I Really hope it's not too late.
But since you're in the process of answering questions. Would you please answer mine regarding System Link? In order to stay on topic for the thread, my question is now on page 2.
Thanks.

That's disheartening, I'm only buying the game for the multiplayer aspect, though the campaign is cool and all, wouldn't drop $50 on a campaign. Multiplayer gives you hundreds of hours of fun where as SP can give you around 10-15hours.
For the people talking about without a non-respawn mode you might as play CoD or BF, are you that ignorant? This game is nothing like BF or CoD.
People will play this just like it were CoD with respawn though. With respawn there's no worry if you die, you'll just be dropped right back in a few seconds later.. Without respawn when you die, you're dead for the round.. It makes you play more careful/thoughtful and not just run around like a fool.
I'll be trying it out regardless, but still believe it could be a lot more fun if there was a way to turn respawn off.

There is a no respawn mode, Brodel.
I see that now. Just ignore that last line, sorry.
This thread should honestly either be renamed, first post crossed out and edited with correct information or just closed with a notice about it. People generally will read the title or partial parts of a first post then make their final decision.
wow!
no respawn modes, thats awesome
also this may bring alot of Socom and Ghost Recon players aboard, great move 2k.
The no respawn mode looks to be there but I cannot queue for it directly... its apart of the option Combat, but it has other modes mixed in... maybe I missed something.. didn't get a full game anyway (will try when more people hopefully log on) on pc.
