Call of Duty: Ghosts' first Clan War begins Nov. 25, gameplay detailed

Call of Duty: Ghosts' Clan Wars — a new game mode in the Call of Duty app that connects directly to Ghosts' multiplayer mode — will begin next Monday, with the first Clan War lasting a week, and subsequent Clan Wars scheduled for two-week periods, One of Swords reports.

Clan Wars is a metagame designed by Beachhead Studios — the same studio that originally created the online service Call of Duty: ELITE. Clan Wars allows players to form and play as a clan against other clans to unlock XP multipliers and earn items for soldiers that cannot be found anywhere else.

In a comprehensive article, One of Swords delves into the details of how Clan Wars will work, from fair and balanced fights to how players will earn XP and bonuses to the kind of gear that can be earned.

In the lead-up to the first Clan War launching on Monday, Beachhead Studios is collecting stats on player clans and their multiplayer personalities so that match-ups can be sorted in advance. One of Swords recommends that players use this weekend to rally up their clans.
