Infinity Ward drew ire from Call of Duty: Warzone players last week by temporarily replacing Quads with Realism Battle Royale, as many felt the removed game mode was a "staple" for playing with friends. However, that was not necessarily a slight against Realism in general, which is popular enough in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that today Infinity Ward's Co-Design Director of Multiplayer Joe Cecot confirmed the team intends to add the mode into permanent rotation.

Cecot's confirmation Tweet came in response to a Call of Duty YouTuber, who goes by Xtwo, asking Cecot and Infinity Ward Narrative Director Taylor Kurosaki to not remove their favorite game mode, Realism and Realism Night, because "it makes for some amazing games and videos." Cecot said, "It is our intention to add it to the filter," but does not provide any further information as to when fans could expect such a change in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

The developer has been discussing game modes with fans on Twitter quite a bit as of late, and yesterday he also confirmed that it is planned to bring Realism mosh pit back when asked by a player who goes by Rowdy Riggs. Modern Warfare's playlists change often, including the addition of modes like All or Nothing and Chaos 10v10 this week, so those who enjoy Realism should be excited to know the mode might retain a permanent slot soon.

Since Infinity Ward shook up its fanbase with the removal of Quads from the battle royale Warzone, this week's Activision Games Blog announced the mode's return. Plunder and Blood Money Quads, as well as Warzone Rumble, are also active this week according to the blog.

More new content in Modern Warfare and Warzone this week includes a playable fan-favorite operator, Gaz. Purchasing the character's bundle in the Call of Duty store will give players additional skins and two blueprints, including a Legendary variant of the M4A1.

As volatile as the ever-changing game modes and playlists may be in Call of Duty titles, the variety and consistent new things to do is one of the series' greatest strengths. Another of Activision's ongoing titles, Call of Duty: Mobile, recently hit 250 million downloads — more than mobile versions of PUBG and Fortnite.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
