Last week Infinity Ward and Activision revealed Clash, the first multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare designed for frantic 2-on-2 battles, but the only videos available were of low quality because they were captured by the live stream. Now the developers have released a 5-minute live-in footage that shows us in detail the features of this mode.

Before leaving you to the movie, we remind you that the competitive modes of the game will be revealed onAugust 1 and we leave you with a summary of the features of The Clashmode.

Here's what the electrifying 2-on-2 experienceconsists of:

"You play on multiple rounds with small teams. The first pair to win the number of rounds set."

The basics:

• It is a four-player mode divided into two pairs.
• It includes a series of small maps (the smallest in the entire multiplayer) and designed specifically for this mode.
• Everyone has the sameequipment: you have to prove that you can use any type of armament!
• The Equipment changes every two rounds.
• The final victory goes to the first pair that wins six rounds.

Gameplay details:

• Each round lasts 40seconds. After that, overtime begins and a flag appears.
• The flag appears if one or both players from each pair are still alive at the start of overtime.
• Each team has 10 seconds to capture thisflag. The capture time is three seconds.
• During overtime, you can win by capturing this flag or defeating the opposing team.
• If no one can defeat the opposing team or capture the flag, the victory goes to the couple with the most health remaining. If both teams have the same amount of health, the round ends in a tie.
• Every two rounds, teams exchange starting positions at the ends of the map.
• The first three maps shown are:
• King: the interior of a warehouse.
• Pine: the exterior of a dense forest.
• Stack: An abandoned container depot.

Additional information:

• Clash is a fast-paced and immediate experience that is very easy to learn.
• However, just study the gameplay mechanisms more thoroughly to discover a rather challenging tactical gameplay to master.
• The pace of play, the rapid succession of rounds and the speed with which you return to action contribute to creating an extremely competitive mode.
• To some this immediate, engaging and competitive action reminded us of a fighting game, but with weapons and set in the Call of Dutyuniverse.
• A typical equipment includes main weapon, secondary weapon, tactical grenade (e.g. a flashbang) and lethal equipment (such as a fragmentation grenade).
• All this information is subject to change, since the game is still in development and refinement.
• Clash represents only a fraction of the mountain of modes, maps, and other upcoming content with the multiplayer experience of Call of Duty: Modern WarfareMultiplayer.
• An anecdote told by Infinity Ward's multiplayer design director: "Whenwe started testing every single weapon, each of us reviewed them all in order to balance them to the fullest. This is where the idea for this mode came from."

We leave you now to the movie; good vision!
