CoD MW: Firefight for two-player teams

Here's the most important info on Firefight:

• Firefight is a 2-vs-2 mode.
• Victory is played according to the last-man standing principle, revives are consequently not available.
• Players do not have a free choice of weapons: Each round, all players get the same random setup. With this they must play two rounds each.
• A round lasts only 40 seconds, then 10 seconds are left to capture a flag. If this does not happen, the team with the higher health wins.
• It wins the team that first wins six victories. Thus, there is a maximum of eleven rounds.

Because the cards are very small, the gameplay in the firefight is very intense - and exactly why so appealing. Das Spiel mit einem festen Partner, im Idealfall mit Voice-Kommunikation, ist in diesem Modus besonders vorteilhaft, um sich abzusprechen und über den Gegner zu informieren.
