  • Gunfight mode: The extremely popular 2v2 duel mode known from MW 2019 is to finally return in Season 3 with four maps and offer quick, but extremely intense rounds.

As CoD Portal (CharlieIntel reports), fan reactions to the reveal have been very positive so far. Among other things, the gloomy and rainy mood of the new map in contrast to the rather colourful and sunny maps of MW2 is praised.

As always, we also expect more content for Warzone 2 and the DMZ extraction mode, such as new challenges, faction missions or Battle Royale game modes.

In Season 2, for example, the popular Resurgence mode was brought back, and Plunder is also expected to reappear at some point – perhaps already with Season 3? We”ll keep you up to date!
