Call of Duty: Modern Warfare brings a playlist update and introduces players to new Shoot House modes. After the update on Tuesday evening, modes suitable for almost all team sizes will be available.
What’s coming to MW? Every Tuesday evening, the big shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare updates its playlist, bringing a breath of fresh air to the modes. In addition to the larger updates with new content, the new playlists help keep players engaged.
This week, there’s a new version of the 1v1 duel, and the 3v3 Shoot House will feature the standard Gunfight rules instead of the “Only Sniper” mode that is currently available. Check out what you can play this week in the different team sizes.
Playlist update brings Shoot House in 3 sizes
What can I play alone? With the playlist update, a 1v1 Shoot House returns to the game. The duel is played on small maps, and there’s a special rule: the radar is always functioning, and you can see where the opponent is moving. They can see you too.
This forces a fast-paced game and brings plenty of action to the duel mode, where players usually take a more tactical approach and are careful.
What can we tackle as a duo? Currently, you can take on the Gunfight tournament, which rewards you depending on how far you progress. At the start, 16 teams battle against each other in a knockout system, and the winners of the finals receive a special blueprint. Even for players who don’t make it far, there are XP and cosmetics.
Check out our tips for Shoot Houses. Here you’ll find the layout of most maps, giving you the opportunity to develop tactics against strong teams.
What about 3-player teams? As a team of three, you can start a Shoot House again this week, but with the standard rules of Gunfights. After last week’s playlist where you could only use sniper rifles, Modern Warfare now brings the classic shootout.
Larger teams bring more fun and chaos
And what if we’re four? As a group of four, you have several options. If you’re up for some coop action, try out the SpecOps mode. With these tips, you can master the operations, even though the difficulty level can be quite high.
Another option is Ground War. In this mega mode, you can go in with a 4-player squad and respawn back with your teammates. This enhances teamwork, and communication will help you achieve victory. We also have tips on how to become the perfect soldier in “Ground War”.
What can 5-player teams do? Although the mode currently runs with 6-player teams, as a team of 5, the best option is the 24/7 playlist. Due to the small maps, it’s not so bad if you have one fewer teammate in chat. With good communication, you can easily compensate for this.
Likely, the current playlist “Dirty Old Houseboat” remains in rotation. Here you play various game modes on the 3 smallest maps of the game: Rust, Shoothouse, and Shipment. The small maps are ideal for leveling weapons, and currently, you should check out the Striker 45, the Battle Pass weapon got a significant buff.
And a full 6-player team? Try out tactical modes with just one life, such as Cyber Attack or Search & Destroy. In these matches, the pace is usually significantly lower than in normal game variants, requiring tactical approaches to plant bombs or eliminate all opponents.
In Cyber Attack, you can even revive fallen teammates. This gives the fights a unique character, and even a survivor can turn the tide with the right approach.
What if we have even more players? Larger teams usually mean more fun, but also stress to keep everyone together. With up to 10 men, you can start in the large TDM or Domination mode and dominate the maps.
If your team is divisible by 2, there’s also the option to play against each other. Start a private match and test your skills in combat against one another. This way, you can train together and better understand the playing styles of your teammates and work with them more efficiently.
Playlist Update on 3.3. is live in CoD: MW
Update: 7:30 PM – The playlist update is now live. In addition to the new game modes, there’s a buff for the Uzi:
- the cooldown after sprinting is reduced (now faster)
- new attachments available through challenges:
- .41 AE Caliber (ammunition) for more damage and range
- Carbine Pro Barrel (barrel) for increased range and bullet speed
You can find the full patch notes of the smaller update directly at Infinity Ward.
How do you roll? Do you have a larger team that meets regularly, or do you check your friends list before each match to see who is online?
