This game mode was developed as a precursor to the Conclave system in order to test its capabilities, however it remains a mystery as to why non-developers could access the maps. It is possible that the developers were relying on player input to gauge the effectiveness of the new system, or was perhaps an Easter egg for attentive users, but this theory is weakened by the fact that moderators on the Warframe Forums begun to actively delete threads concerning 2v2 PVP. The game mode was finally removed from the game in Update 10.0 to make way for Conclave.
