Infinity Ward has announced the weekly playlist update across all platforms forCall of Duty: Modern WarfareandWarzone.As with each playlist update, fans notice that some game modes are removed, while others get added into the mix. While going through the newModern Warfarelist, fans noticed that a controversial Gunfight variant has reappeared.
The game mode in question originally appeared back during theinitial launch ofModern Warfareand it caused many fans to grow upset with the playlist decisions. The issue was not the game mode itself, as much as fans disliking the forced application of it when it replaced the core Gunfight option. With the popular Gunfight standard replaced, the Variant gained a reputation amongModern Warfare’scommunity.

Now the game mode has resurfaced as Gunfight OSP returns to the playlist rotation. This game mode issimilar to core Gunfightexcept players must scavenge weapons from the battlefield rather than spawning in with a random loadout. The intention of the game mode was for players to communicate gun locations with their teammates and try to take out the other team through skilled coordination. Although fans did not have a problem with the variant game mode itself, the fact that itreplaced the popular Gunfight coreoption did upset the game’s community.
Based on the playlist update, it seems that Infinity Ward has not made the same mistake twice. Players can now find Gunfight OSP as an additional option listed alongsidestandard Gunfight options. Fans can try out the new game mode without fear of losing access to the core 2v2 experience that they have grown so fond of.
This playlist update has added tons of other features that are long-awaited by fansincluding Plunder Trios. Bringing a third person into a plunder match can help change the chemistry of the game and weigh gunfights in a different way. Shoot the Ship is also seeing a return which is sure to brighten up some fans day and ease the pressure of Damascus grind for others.
Still, no playlist chance on the list has been as discussed or is deemed controversial as the Gunfight OSP addition. The entire experience only went to show the development team that Playlist updates need to be careful as to not remove actively played game modes. Simply adding another option was automatically a better decision then blatantly replacing an experience that fans enjoyed
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
