Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Adding Gunfight Knives Only and More Next Week

Call of Duty: Modern Warfaregot a big update recently that Activision is pushing as Season 3 Reloaded. Next week will continue theCall of Duty: Modern WarfareSeason 3 Reloaded initiative, adding three new game modes and more.

Activision has confirmed that theCall of Duty: Modern WarfareMay 5 playlist update will add Gunfight Knives Only, Demolition, and Gun Game Reloaded playlists. Gunfight Knives Only is self-explanatory; it’s Gunfight with knives. Demolition, meanwhile, is similar toSearch and Destroy, but with respawns enabled and some other tweaks to set it apart. Gun Game Reloaded will presumably be the same old Gun Game that fans know and love, but perhaps the “Reloaded” bit means it will come with some of the new weapons that have been added toCall of Duty: Modern Warfaresince the last time it featured the popular game mode.
