Does Modern Warfare 3 have Gunfight?
Gunfight first arrived with the launch of 2019's Modern Warfare and since then, it's become a hugely popular mode involving the entire weapon arsenal.
Complete with its own set of symmetrical maps, Gunfight sees two teams of two load into the game with random weapons. The first to reach the set number of rounds is declared the winner.
Sledgehammer Games hasn't confirmed if Gunfight will appear in Modern Warfare 3 but with several months until launch, there's always a chance the mode will be available to play.
