The Call of Duty franchise is renowned for its intense and immersive gaming experiences, and the sixth installment in the series – Modern Warfare 2 – is no exception. Released on October 28, 2022, this direct sequel to the popular Modern Warfare has taken the gaming world by storm, with fans eagerly awaiting the latest updates and improvements.
Infinity Ward, the mastermind behind this captivating game, is known for its commitment to excellence in gaming. The recent release of Modern Warfare 2 showcases their dedication to refining graphics, fixing bugs, and adding as many elements as possible to enhance the player’s experience.
However, the game’s recent release sparked discussions and debates within the gaming community, especially with the release of Call of Duty: Warzone 2 in November 2022. Despite the positive reviews, with fans raving about the new maps and improvements to the old ones, the company has plans for the second season that are not sitting well with its fans.
Enter Gunfight – the 2v2 multiplayer game mode that made its debut in the 2019 Modern Warfare game. Designed for hand-to-hand combat, this fast-paced mode has two teams of two players facing off against each other, with only 40 seconds to secure a victory.
The team that wins six rounds is declared the winner, and this mode quickly became a favorite among first-person shooter fans.
After its absence in Call of Duty Vanguard, fans clamored for its return, and the franchise delivered with the return of Gunfight in Modern Warfare 2. This updated version of one of the franchise’s most popular modes has been met with excitement by fans who can’t wait to show off their weapon skills in record time.
Farewell to the Thrills of 2v2 Gameplay
It’s with a heavy heart that fans must bid farewell to the 2v2 gameplay mode in Modern Warfare 2. Despite the outpouring of support from fans, it seems that the developers at Infinity Ward have other plans for the popular shooter.
Unfortunately, it has recently been announced that the much-anticipated update will not include the beloved Gunfight mode, with only a vague promise of its return “at some point.”
However, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. On February 8th, Infinity Ward will unveil a roadmap of all the new content arriving with the second season, as reported by Call of Duty insider, CharlieINTEL. Despite one fan’s hopeful request for Gunfight’s inclusion, their wish was quickly dashed with a firm “no” from the tipster.
The news has been met with disappointment and frustration among players, with many taking to the game’s subreddit to share their thoughts and speculate on the reasons for the developers’ decision.
Some believe that the removal of Gunfight could be a strategic move, with the developers taking the time to improve the mode for a future launch. Others suspect that Activision is simply focusing on monetizing cosmetics at the expense of its players’ desires.

Whatever the reason, it’s clear that Call of Duty remains one of the most popular first-person shooters on the market.
While making the necessary adjustments and changes to the game is no easy feat, Activision must be mindful of their updates and statements to avoid any further upset among their passionate fanbase.
