Fan-favorite mode "Gunfight" is returning to Modern Warfare 2 soon. Here's everything you need to know.
Probably the best thing Modern Warfare 2019 did was Gunfight. This was a stripped-back, competitive experience – a test of pure gunskill. And it continued into BOCW, but sadly Vanguard tried to change the formula and ended up ruining it.
Luckily, Gunfight will be coming back in its original form to Call of Duty. Season 3 will finally reintroduce the fan-favorite mode again.
When Is Gunfight Coming To Modern Warfare 2?
Gunfight will be returning to Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer in Season 3, which will launch on Wednesday, April 12. The 2v2-mode will be available at launch and come with its own new maps.
What Is Gunfight?
Gunfight was Gulag before the Gulag. This is a 2v2, no-respawn, round-based mode with random loadouts. The objective is simple: kill both the enemies before they kill both of you, and do that six times to win. If neither team kill each other by the round limit, then it's first to capture the flag in the center of the map (also just like Gulag).
The mode has its own set of smaller maps, and occasionally we get Gunfight Tournaments. The Gunfight tourneys use a simple knockout format to pit sixteen pairs of players against each other.
All Gunfight Maps in MW2
Gunfight in MW2 will start with 4 different maps. These maps are parts taken from other 6v6 multiplayer maps and adjusted to fit the 2v2 gameplay.
- Alley (part of Mercado)
- Blacksite (part of Taraq)
- Shipment (well, Shipment)
- Exhibit (part of Museum)
That was your overview of Gunfight. If you didn't play in MW2019, then seriously, give this mode a go. It's awesome.
Are you hyped for Season 3 already? And will you be grinding Ranked until then?
