Players can finally get to taste the new feature in the Call of Duty series, the 2 versus 2 Gunfight which will be a new mode for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. An Alpha test will be offered this weekend, starting the 23 of August until 25 August. But this will be open to Sony Playstation players and according to the Playstation blog, users with Playstation 4 consoles and internet connection can log in and play the Alpha version with no need for PS Plus membership.

Playing the Gunfight mode, players will have to get used to its unpredictability and they don’t know what loadout they’re going to get before the game starts and both opposing teams will be start with the same loadout. What is important is that players should be able to adapt quickly with what they have and win the game.

To win, the first team to win 5 rounds wins the match and here at the tips from the Playstation Blog:

• Study Your Loadout – Your primary weapon is obvious, but look deeper to your sidearm, grenade, and gear. Sometimes your pistol will offer better range that the shotgun you spawned with. Don’t mistake your smoke grenade for a flash bang in the heat of the moment. Mind the details!
• Listen Carefully – Modern Warfare’s multiplayer removes the mini–map by default. Keep your ears peeled for the crunch of enemy footsteps and other positional cues. Keep your head on a swivel. Headphones make a big difference, too.
• Pulling Overtime – An Overtime Flag appears if opposing players are still standing after 40 seconds. First team to secure the central flag wins the round.
• Be Unpredictable – Both teams start with sniper rifles and pistols? Take advantage of your enemies’ tunnel vision by storming the map, chucking a grenade, and brandishing that sidearm. Wildcard strategies make you harder to predict.
• Move Together – Generally goes without saying, but teams that move together live longer. This forces your enemies to think a second longer before engaging. Also, if you die via a surprise attack, your surviving ally has a chance to avenge your death and with the round.
• Embrace Discovery – Gunfight Mode is a brilliant way to get trigger time with a diverse set of weapons. Who knows – maybe the random loadouts will lead you to fall in love with a new approach to combat to take into Team Deathmatch and other Multiplayer modes.

The Alpha release will feature 5 close quarter maps which have been tried when it was first announced and two new maps: Docks and Speedball. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be released on 25 October and playable on the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game will have crossplay from console-to-console and console-to-PC.
