I?ve seen and played a lot of this year?s Call of Duty. I was at Infinity Ward before they revealed the game to the world. I?ve been hands-on with the multiplayer at a couple different events. If you?ve read my previous coverage of the game, you know I?m excited for it as a whole. It?s coming together brilliantly. But you?ll also know that I?ve already played the 2v2 Gunfight mode and didn?t really think it was for me. That?s why I?ve been completely surprised to have found myself under its influence since the Modern Warfare 2v2 alpha launched yesterday. Just what is it about this mode that?s got me so hooked, despite every personal inclination telling me I shouldn?t be"
Let me be clear: I never thought 2v2 Gunfight was a bad mode, but I?m not traditionally one to get swept up in the ultra-competitive ?1v1 me bro? style of pure gun-skill gameplay. I enjoy a good objective-based mode, or something where contributions other than my aim can be rewarded. When I heard that the Modern Warfare alpha would be strictly limited to this particular mode, I casually thought I?d opt out of participating. I?ve already played it, right" It?ll be fun for all of the other people getting their hands on it, but I can wait until the more robust multiplayer beta weekends in September.
