  • Cranked (Launch)
  • Face-Off (In-season)
  • GW Infected (In-season)

Introduced in Modern Warfare (2019), Gunfight is one of the most popular modes in Call of Duty multiplayer. The 2v2 gameplay devoid of health regeneration that it features lets you and your teammates face enemies on a small map. You either kill opponents or capture the Overtime flag to win a round. The first team to reach six-round wins will be victorious in the match.

Gunfight OSP (On-Site Procurement) is an extended version of the aforementioned mode. In it, players will have to find their weapons instead of receiving random loadouts. The mode will be available to play during Season 3.

Cranked is another fan-favorite mode coming to the game. It was first introduced in Call of Duty: Ghosts. Unlike a normal Team Deathmatch, Cranked requires players to eliminate Operators in a row before a certain countdown timer stops. If you are unable to get a kill before that, your character will automatically explode in the game.

The 3v3 classic Face Off mode is also returning to COD and will be included in MW2. What this addition will exactly entail is unknown; however, more information on it should be available soon.

If you are a fan of Call of Duty's Infected mode, Season 3 will surely bring a smile to your face. It's making a massive return to the game, but this time, on a grander scale. Modern Warfare 2's Infected will be a part of the Ground War playlist and will arrive in Season 3 reloaded as well.

With Alejandro and Veleria's return as Operators and the comeback of the classic Intervention sniper as the FJX Imperium, this season will surely inspire nostalgia among fans of Call of Duty. Season 3 of Modern Warfare 2 will go live on April 12 at 10 am PT.
