Modern Warfare 2 - What are Raids?

Thanks to the official Call of Duty blog, we do have some information about the upcoming Raids, but specifics are still shrouded in mystery. Raids will continue the story of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, and will be co-op missions.

According to the blog, Raids will be “a three-player cooperative engagement requiring teamwork and strategic, puzzle-solving thinking in-between bouts of intense combat.”

It seems that Raids will involve a more stratigic approach with a free-form format. As opposed to the telegraphed missions undertaken in the Campaign.

The new AI bots in Modern Warfare 2 will be a key part of Raids, as they will make up the cohort of opponents. Coordination is likely to be key within teams, so if you're looking for a new challenge for your Warzone Squad Raids is definitely for you.

Modern Warfare 2 Raids Release Date

The first raid will be coming with Season 1 Reloaded in the mid-season and is expected to release on December 14th. We'll get much more intel about what the first mission will involve closer to the time.
