New mode added to Modern Warfare Gunfight alpha with battle royale-style twist Infinity WardInfinity Ward has revealed a brand new variant of Gunfight that is live now in the Modern Warfare open alpha, before it comes to a close on August 25. After a number of teases and apparent leaks, the 2v2 Gunfight Alpha for Call Of Duty\u2019s upcoming release, Modern Warfare, finally went live on PlayStation 4 on August 22 It had been scheduled to go live a day later, and run through to August 26, but Infinity Ward flicked the live switch early. Since then, plenty of players \u2013 both casual and professional \u2013 have got the grips with the alpha and the reaction has been pretty positive. Yet, as they continue to tweak and change things, the developers will be adding a few new pieces of content to test \u2013 including a map and a battle royale-like mode. In a post to the ModernWarfare subreddit, Infinity Ward\u2019s communication manager Ashton Williams detailed the state of play for the remaining few days of the alpha \u2013 including bug fixes and these new additions. \u201cWe aren\u2019t done yet! As we roll into the weekend, we\u2019ll be adding yet another new map and a Gunfight variant into the rotation!\u201d she posted. Called the \u2018pickup\u2019 variant, players will spawn into a gunfight game with only a pistol and will need to collect floor loot \u2013 including weapons and grenades \u2013 from around the compact maps as they build up an arsenal for that specific round of action. Sadly though, for Call of Duty fans without a PlayStation 4, they will have to wait their turn for a chance to get their hands on Gunfight and this new variant as Williams poured cold water on any hopes of another alpha elsewhere. After one fan asked if there would be \u201cany love for everyone else without a PS4,\u201d Williams stated: \u201cPC and Xbox players will get their hands on Gunfight during the beta!\u201d with a smiley face attached. Whether or not this new variant of the 2v2 action sticks around for long, remains to be seen, but it could well be an indication of a possible fully-fledged battle royale mode coming soon. The 2v2 Gunfight alpha runs through Sunday, August 25 meaning that if you haven\u2019t had a chance to get some games in yet, you better hurry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
