Looks intriguing. I wonder how they handle hacks (they show a turret in the trailer). Obviously you can't pause the gameplay like you do in singleplayer. But hacks take quite a while in the game, so if you're standing helpless while executing them it may not be worth it.

I think it'll be a fun expansion to the game and will enhance the replay value, but I also think most people are getting Bioshock 2 for the story/singleplayer component. This isn't going to supplant GeoW, Halo, or CoD, but itseems fun.

The hacks looks quick...from what I am seeing though...

It wont be a multiplayer powerhouse, but I am sure the ones that do enjoy it will get their fill.

Thanks for the link.

Seems kinda weird though, with all the plasmids going on around the field I hope there aren't too many moments where you lose your control of shooting and movement due to being suspended in the air or being a flying projectile, or a combination of each which causes more health lost without any way to resist.

And then adding a big daddy into the mix is always an issue for everyone else. But negatives aside, I guess it'll be very chaotic.

It's kind of similar to Team Fortress 2.

I remember reading an interview with the people behind Bioshock and how they said they kept getting pressure to add multiplayer. They said the problem was adding multiplayer it would take away time from making a better single player game.

The whole atmosphere from the first title seems to be completely gone in the multiplayer....still looks to be super fun, though.

The story is basically before the whole crazy crap right? I think that A deathmatch wouldn't really work for it. Like it shouldn't be a traditional online multiplayer. I think the big daddy fight for it is interesting but from what i heard its just a special item i guess. Should use more teamwork like tf2, or like 4 big daddys vs 8 or something regulars.

Looks great. I thought that I read that a complete seperate team were working on the MP whilst another team was working on SP so it doesn't get sacrificed? Why are people complaining?

Could be interesting, but I wouldn't mind NOT having it at all.

Looks ok. The photo taking interested me, and of course, the Big Daddy would add a fun dynamic. Otherwise it looks odd. Chaotic crazy, over the top, 'spammy' action. Kinda rubs off the wrong way against Bioshock's style and themes.

I hoped first and foremost for better gunplay and the ability to lean and prone.
