Clan war
A clanwar ( English for " clan war ") refers to a virtual competition of so-called clans in a multiplayer - computer game . Mostly these are team-based first-person shooters like Counter-Strike , in which the entire team of one clan competes against another. During the game, the game server is protected by a password, which is only known to the players of both clans, in order to prevent foreign players from joining the game. A clan war can take place either online (via the Internet ) or offline at a LAN party .
