MW3 Gunfight Release Date
If you want to know when is the Gunfight mode coming to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, we’ve got you covered. Activision has officially revealed that the popular 2v2 mode is making its return to COD MW3. During its absence in MW2, it was one of the most highly sought-after features within the community. Hence, Activision is losing no time with MW3, as they are adding this frantic mode quite soon. Here’s the exact MW3 Gunfight release date and time.
When is Gunfight Coming to MW3?
In a recent blog post, Activision has shared first glimpses of the content we can expect to see in Modern Warfare 3 Season 1. The highlight is surely the launch of the new Urzikstan map in Warzone, alongside the integration of new MW3 mechanics and weapons in the battle royale. Nevertheless, the fans of Call of Duty’s fastest mode have reasons for the excitement as well. It has been confirmed that the Gunfight mode is making its MW3 debut in Season 1.
While there is currently no confirmed Season 1 release date, the current speculation is that the new season will start either on Wednesday, December 6th, or a week later, on December 13th. Hence, that’s when you can expect the MW3 Gunfight to launch as well. When it comes to the exact launch time, Activision generally releases major Call of Duty updates at 7 pm CET / 6 pm GMT / 1 pm ET / 10 am PT. Thus, we expect new season and Gunfight to become available on Wednesday, December 6th at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT. Now that we have that explained, let’s check out what new content we can expect.
New Modern Warfare 3 Gunfight Maps
In the above-mentioned blog post, Activision has confirmed that the mode will receive a brand-new map at launch. This new Gunfight 2v2 map in Modern Warfare 3 is called Training Facility. It will be available on Day 1 in Season 1. Here’s the official description: “Face off in a training course complete with a central shoot house and plentiful climbing opportunities.”
What is Call of Duty Gunfight Mode?
Finally, if you are new to this mode, let’s see what’s all the fuzz about. Gunfight is a mode where two teams of two players fight in rounds. There is no way to respawn or heal, and everyone gets the same random loadout at the beginning of each round. The loadout switches every two rounds, and it’s always a surprise; you might have to snipe your enemies from a distance in one round, then rush them with shotguns in another. Each loadout also has a lethal and tactical equipment.
Each round lasts 40 seconds, and the goal is to kill the other team. If the time is up and both teams are still alive, a flag will appear on the map for ten seconds. The team that captures the flag or kills the other team wins the round. If no one wins in Overtime, the team with more health wins. The match ends when one team wins six rounds.
