Lol. You are flooded with enemies towards the end that respawn all the time. Sadly, left the game after the whole team spent reviving each other for 10 minutes. What is this mode lol You can easily beat all of those maps by having somebody hang out on a roof or in a room with one point of entry to stay alive and avoid a team wipe. Without these methods of "cheesing" they are extremely hard to beat. Which is the part of this game I find bad. You shouldn't have to hang out on a roof of a building to cheese a win. It seems lazy that they can't come up with a challenge other than continuously spawning enemies. I'm sure there is a legitimate method probably involving saving up points to spawn in with the kill streaks like turrets etc. Maybe even you can pay for credits for these items I'm' not sure. It takes awhile to save up for them and some of them cost 3000 credits per use. To put it into perspective i played these missions about 10 hours over two nights and have about 8500 points saved. A helicopter assault or whatever it's called costs like 3000. A sentry turrets cost 500. I wouldn't be surprised if spec ops didn't end up pay to win. I find it hard to believe they made these continuous spawning enemies so difficult just so people can camp on the roof and win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Retro_Maniac Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Let's hope that this is not another Ghostbusters situation where if you have beaten all missions then you will be locked out of the trophy permanently as that will suck. Im 100% sure we have not got all the content yet and that is why nobody has earned it yet. However im also concerned that if they make us wait till the next call of duty comes out next year with the last dlc we will not have alot of time or movement too moan at them about fixing it if it does not unlock as the next focus is on call of duty 2020 but i guess we play the waiting game.

PhantomFear94 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'm starting to get concerned they got the description wrong and meant that you need to complete the operations. They keep saying they're trying to "fix" the achievement/trophy, even though according to the description we don't have what we need yet. No idea how such a big studio can be so inept over a single achievement/trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Special Ops game mode is a 4 player matchmade activity centered around interconnected experiences that take the form of objectives, each culminating in the removal or destruction of a key logistical aspect of the Al-Qatala army. Employ different strategies. Go in quietly or tackle the insurrection head-on. The enemy reacts to your team’s decisions, meaning the outcome of any battle can change. At launch, you will embark on four multi-stage Operations with more scheduled to come throughout the post launch seasons. All post launch Operations will be coming to all platforms simultaneously. Missions: Complementing the multi-stage Operations, and also available across all platforms, are additional Missions, which can be played solo or with up to four players. Whereas Operations give you the widest breadth of strategic and tactical choice, Missions are a more curated experience where your proficiency with specific weapons, killstreaks, and other tools will be tested. These Missions are extremely replayable, and you’re able to achieve a 1, 2, or 3-star ranking based on your performance. Naturally, there will be an “Infinity Ward time” that you can attempt to beat. ========= Edited November 8, 2019 by PhantomFear94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JethrowRogueSZ2 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Last night I finished all 4 operations and unlocked the Operator Zane and the trophy didn't get triggered. I admit those operations was really difficult (especially With randoms) so hopefully a future patch will arrive shortly to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyteswype Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Since a few people got the trophy now I guess the new 1.07 patch fixed it. There are no new missions yet so...guess it's time to go back to play all 4 operations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already did every single one I guess one is enough.

How hard are the operations? Totally relate. Guess there is no other choice. In terms of difficulty: The first one is really annoying already. It could be the most annoying one of the 4. Since the NPCs are really strong with the low TTK in this game it can get really hard sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing on Xbox, so won't be able to recruit any help here, but thanks for the information. On the basis it's simply a case of getting through them, I'm hoping that with luck and perseverance it will be possible to do via matchmaking. I hear they have checkpoints, too, so we'll see.

The missions includes checkpoints after each objective you finish. I did all 4 with randoms through matchmaking and it made it really hard for myself. Just be aware of every corner you pass because sometimes you’ll think it’s clear when it’s not. There’s plenty of strategies to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czDante92 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Just unlocked the trophy, it popped up after beating 4th mission, right after the "Mission accomplished" (or something) screen. Probably thanks to today's patch. Anyway, it's hard, but doable with randoms, like I did. You have to be lucky not to get noobs/retards, but I don't think it took me more than 5 tries each op. PKM/M91 with extended amo belt + Riot shield is probably the best and most universal loadout for Spec Ops imo. Especially the shield, when your team consist of 4 shieldwielders, you know your chances are pretty good ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know if it's "completely fixed" but people are already getting the trophy and I can confirm that the game counts even the missions finished before the patch, I completed the first one few days after launch and got the trophy without any problem.

Ah well, will do them tonight. How hard are the operations? unless they patched them they aren't that bad. the key is to cheese them by having someone hold down a certain area while the others attack objective. On two of the missions you hang out on top of a roof completely safe while your team hits the objectives. On the 2nd mission you can easily hide out in the air control tower near the runway that has sniper rifles and unlimited amo. You can provide your team some cover and if about to die crouch down behind the consoles to regain health. The hardest one is the one where you have to protect the armored vehicle. I didn't see a way to cheese it but I would imagine having a team and using sentry turrets when defending the crates would make it a lot easier. It's the only one I haven't finished yet. I did them all in a public lobby without a mic. I always held down an area and stayed alive and let my team rush the objective. People rushing the objective will die over and over again. If everyone rushes you are getting wiped. If people spread out the enemies spread out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETMAN3000 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 i can confirm you only need to complete the first 4 missions for the trophy. "safeguard" is not needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skurkitty Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Well atleast the Platinum was easy. These Spec Ops missions are tedious and not fun at all. I managed to complete them all with public lobbies, Paladin was the worst of them all. Took me basically all of my Sunday to get it done, even then I’d say my successful attempt was pure luck based. I really wish they had made the spec ops trophy related to single player spec ops trials. This infinite waves of enemies while doing objectives with random people is... awful, just awful. Makes me sad to know they’re going to make more of these, which will very likely have trophies tied to them of course.
