Multiplayer
We have scant
information concerning the System Shock 2 mutliplayer support. All we
do know, is that it will be four player cooperative only. Two to four
players can team up to play the single player game. The way it works,
is that rather then the game being just about you, it is about you and
your two to four pals, who joined up together, trained separately, and
served together on the same ship, and ultimately are destined to
survive the disaster together, and do battle with SHODAN and The Many,
once again, together.
There will be only one
player skin / model, to allow for better gameplay performance. System
Shock 2 is an extremely texture rich game, and in order to improve
internet play, the choice to only support one skin for the player was
made.
Multiplayer in SS2 will not
be included out of the box. Instead, you will have to download the
patch from the LGS website. The patch will be released around the same
time as the game hits store shelves. |
