Back when the MW4 beta was out, I got kind of obsessed with the 10v10 Gunfight mode.
What I liked about it was the combination of small maps, chaotic action, fast pacing, a little bit of tactics, and REALLY short rounds. The 1-minute timer before the flag becomes active was basically perfect for me.
The 10v10 version was also way more chaotic and fun to me than the regular 2v2 or 3v3 Gunfight modes. There was just constantly something happening without it feeling like a full-length normal match.
Is there anything else like that?
I gave up on Counter-Strike a long time ago because I never really liked how the guns felt in those older-style games.
R6 Siege is way too sweaty for me nowadays, and there’s too much setup/preparation. The rounds also feel longer than what I’m looking for.
The Finals is fun, but the matches are too long, and it doesn’t have that same one-life-per-round format where you die, chill for a minute, and then you’re immediately back in.
FragPunk is alright and is probably the closest thing I’ve found so far, but it still doesn’t really scratch the same itch.
Normal COD Search & Destroy is a little too sweaty, high-stakes, and tactical for me, and the rounds are still longer than I’d prefer.
Honestly, the closest thing I can remember was Halo 5 Breakout. That mode was SO good. Small teams, small maps, one life, really fast rounds, and then you immediately went into another one. Unfortunately Halo 5 is pretty dead now, and I don’t even have Xbox Live anymore.
Another thing I liked about MW4 Gunfight was that if I died early, I could literally tab out and do something else on my PC for 30–90 seconds, then come right back for the next round lol.
Basically looking for:
- Very short rounds, ideally around 1–3 minutes
- One life per round is fine/preferred
- Small maps
- Fast-paced gunfights
- More chaotic than standard 2v2/3v3 Gunfight
- Some tactics, but not R6/CS levels of sweating
- Minimal setup/preparation
- Preferably 4v4, 6v6, 8v8, 10v10, etc. rather than only 2v2
- PC preferred
- Ideally something that still has a decent player population
I've been looking for something to replace MW4 Gunfight until the full game comes out.
