I highly recommend watching the film before reading this readme. If you are having trouble getting the film to play, please see the problems.txt file included in this zip. If not, go watch the film and come back here when you’re done.

Well, now that you’ve watched the movie, let me say thank you, I hope you enjoyed it. The film is a sequel to Clutch (which I’m sure you figured out already); if you haven’t yet seen the original, you can download it here: http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/files/913

For an in-depth description of each frag contained within the movie, as well as links to the demos used, please read the enclosed frags.txt. If you want to watch the demos of willsoN's cobble jump or MegatoN's 1v4 desert eagle ECO, you will need to use the early 1.6 versions of de_cbble or de_nuke, which I have included in the maps.zip archive. Unzip the files in maps.zip to your steam/steamapps/<e-mail address>/counter-strike/cstrike/ directory. Note that you will need to remove or rename de_cbble.bsp and de_nuke.bsp to connect to servers running these maps, or to view demos that were recorded with the more recent versions (you don't need to worry about jos.wad).

This series was born after watching CompLexity: Armageddon. The movie was well done throughout, but one scene stands out; tr1p’s 1v2 vs. Lunatic-Hai on de_train. Most CS movies focus on quick frag sequences; here was a long, drawn-out scene showing an impressive clutch round, light on frags, but packed with awesome. After viewing the scene, I found myself wondering why no one made a movie of just clutch situations. A quick search on the GotFrag forums revealed others felt the same way. As no one wanted to step up to the plate and actually make the film, I took it upon myself to.
Unbeknownst to the world, I began work on a clutch movie. I taught myself as I went along, hurrying as quickly as I could, naively thinking someone else was probably working on the exact same concept, and I’d be seen as a copycat. The film was not without its problems, but developed a nice fan base.
With Clutch 2, I decided I would work to alleviate some of the problems that had plagued the first film, the biggest of which was the need for good clutch scenes (I’m a pretty well-informed CS fan, but even I don’t know everything). I put out a call to the community to suggest their favorite clutch scenes; the response was tremendous (and you all get thanked in the bottom of this document).
This film is not meant as a departure from the style of the first, but it does have some key differences. This one is much quicker paced, focusing on fast frag sequences more than long drawn-out clutch scenes (apparently I used most of those up in the first film). The movie features a much broader mix of players, and is not as Amero-centric as the first. The film is also much less laggy, as many of the demos used in this were either recent or POVs (or both).
Thanks again for watching, and I hope you enjoyed it. I love to hear your feedback, comments, complaints, suggestions, dirty limericks, misquoted lyrics and credit card numbers/pins. I can be reached at bongsmokinghippie@gmail.com or by PMing me on GotFrag (username BongSmokingHippy), or by saying Betelgeuse three times (just kidding, although you should try that and tell me what happens).

Music: Oasis - Fucking in the Bushes; Prodigy - Voodoo People; Disturbed - Stupify; Gary Jules - Mad World (from the Donnie Darko soundtrack).

Apologies: I’m sorry for the lag in some clips, such as Tentpole, bsl, and some others. It could not be helped, as there are a limited number of demos to work from on these clips. On the whole, this film is far less laggy then Clutch, which is a definite plus.
I’m sorry for the HLTV logo in the older clips from Potti and cracken. This could have been avoided by filming in a higher resolution, but I didn’t want to subject you to a larger file size, nor myself to more hard drive usage (although from here on out, all my films will be 720P or higher).
I’m sorry for the advertisements in the first person POV clips, as well as on the occasional wall. This is vALVE’s fault, since they were the greedy bastards who decided to advertise in a seven year old game, but I’m sure I could have found away around this if I had really exerted myself. Still, I hold vALVE responsible as the primary offenders, and I request you direct all complaints directly to them.

Kudos: First, and foremost, to my lovely girlfriend Heather, for, if not being supportive, at least being beautiful, and distracting me to no end.
Next, to those that have helped make this movie become a reality. sTIMPZ_tXo for finding the map files necessary to watch the demos for MegatoN and willsoN (you rock dude, you fucking ROCK!). Next, to HeLLScreaM, for submitting the ONLY user-submitted demo I ended up using (my apologies if you don’t like it, I think it’s awesome, and I made the movie, so there). Sally_, for being the rabid fan who helped keep me on track. Treckla, for uploading the MegatoN demo (Harpa linked me to it first, but you went out of your way to upload it to a different host, and I respect that).
