What’s the Showdown About?

Few rivalries capture Manchester’s spirit like the split between red and blue. Haaland plays for one side and Aitch supports the other, so the pair bring years of local rivalry into Modern Warfare 4. The title on offer is King of Manchester and Modern Warfare 4 champion.

This is the latest instalment of Call of Duty’s Month of Grudge Matches, where rivals from sport, entertainment and culture settle the score in the game.

The Three Rounds

Round 1: Gunsmith and Firing Range.
The two get to grips with the game, test a variety of weapons and compare notes on what might give them an edge. It’s part training session, part trash talk.

Round 2: The Mobility Course.
Both race against the clock across the same movement challenge. Speed, control and decision-making are tested, and each watches and studies the other while trying to do better.

Round 3: Best-of-five Gunfight.
This is the main event. The pair face off across multiple Modern Warfare 4 maps in a winner-takes-all battle. Changing loadouts, maps and tactics force both to adapt on the fly.

Why Fans Are Watching?

Two worlds collide. Football and music fans get a rare crossover in one video.
The rivalry is real. The red-versus-blue divide gives the match genuine stakes.
It’s a preview. The challenges give gamers an early look at Modern Warfare 4’s weapons, movement and Gunfight mode.
