First BioShock 2 Multiplayer Details

[wraggster]

2K Games has announced that it has signed on Digital Extremes to develop the multiplayer game for BioShock 2. The group is said to be working closely with 2K Marin, the team responsible for the single player game, in the effort to develop a "substantial element that enhances the lore and fiction of the BioShock Universe."

The multiplayer game will take place during the fall of Rapture as players take on the role of Plasmid test subjects for Sinclair Solutions. This game will reportedly expand the BioShock fiction and reveal more about the fall of Rapture.

As far as gameplay goes, little has been revealed aside from a leveling system. Experience points will be earned during matches that will give players access to new weapons, Plasmids and Tonics. Locations will include the Kashmir Restaurant and Mercury Suites, built from the ground up specifically for multiplayer.

2K president Christoph Hartmann said, "The fans asked for a multiplayer experience and we answered. With Digital Extremes delivering a multiplayer experience for BioShock 2 that features all of the things that make BioShock unique, we're holding ourselves to a high standard so that we can deliver the depth and variety that fans of the BioShock universe demand."

Digital Extremes is best known for its work on the Unreal franchise. Most recently, it developed Dark Sector for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3.

Hmm, to be honest I'm beyond sick of Multiplayer bein put in everything that is released nowadays...I mean seriously, some games should just stay Single Player and the team should just make a great SINGLE PLAYER, because Multiplayer in everything just isn't that amazing if you ask me.
I love BioShock but I can't see the Multiplayer being really fun, it's just not one of those games if you ask me... If it is fun then that's good, but I'm just kind of doubting.
