A video posted online shows off a game of Gun Game from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and it might be the fastest game ever played in the mode. Gun Game was added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 with Season 2, and fans have been enjoying the return of the classic mode.
With the recent release of Gun Game, Call of Duty has brought back a mode that has slowly grown in popularity over the years. It was initially introduced as a Wager Match in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and in subsequent releases would slowly make its way into matchmaking playlists. With it not being included in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at launch, many assumed it wouldn't return, so its inclusion in Season 2 was a pleasant surprise. There are still other modes coming to the game that haven't yet made it, with Gunfight Mode coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in Season 3, so there's plenty to look forward to yet.

The clip can be viewed here and was posted to Reddit by user The_Noid8 and shows them winning a round of Gun Game in just 38 seconds. The player's strategy is simple - stand in one place. The game takes place on Shipment, a map too small to handle large numbers of players, so the game continues to spawn players right in front of The_Noid8. This allows them to go from the starting RAPP H to the final throwing knife in such a short space of time. With the mode a recent addition to the game, it might just be the quickest ever Gun Game in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Many in the comments took the video as an opportunity to vent their frustrations about the spawns of Shipment, with the free-for-all nature of Gun Game only exacerbating the map's spawn problems. Despite the complaints, Shipment remains an extremely popular map in the game, and has been a staple of the Call of Duty franchise since 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Such is the popularity of the map that Infinity Ward added a Shipment 24/7 playlist for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, making it exceptionally fast to gain XP in-game.
As 2023 rumbles on, rumors continue to swirl about the future of the franchise. Current rumors suggest that Call of Duty 2023 will be a continuation of the Modern Warfare series, as Sledgehammer Games takes the mantle from Infinity Ward once again. Hopefully, it won't be too long until players can officially find out what the studio is planning for the franchise's next release.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
