Sinclair gives you very unique challenges to do during the battles and completing these challenges gives you a substantial amount of Adam. So that’s what I think is important is you can do things other than having the highest kill count to earn Adam and rank. There are these Adam vials all throughout the level to pick up. Taking research photos, I get points for that. I get Adam points for doing that at the end. I honestly suck, but I can go into a BioShock 2 multiplayer match and I can do a lot of things that will earn me Adam that don’t have to do with my placement, like hacking turrets. Miller: One of the things that we did really successfully in terms of making it accessible is when you go into these public matches where you aren’t experienced with Adam, you can start earning Adam from the match in so many different ways. If you’re looking at a turret and you’re kind of staring at it, you’ll get a pop-up that says something like, “Do you know you can hack this turret? Press this button to hack.” There are also tips, adaptive training and hints that you’ll get as you go throughout the level. Goode: You only start out with a base level of plasmids and weapons so we try to smoothly introduce you to the new weapons and tonics that you can gain over time. What has been done to make multiplayer accessible to players of all skill levels? You can opt to be the Big Daddy or you can camp out and just take people out who are after the suit. Miller: It’s also a strategy to choose to be the Big Daddy in the other modes. Goode: In Capture the Sister the defending team gets the Big Daddy randomly selected out of the players on the defensive side, and once that Big Daddy’s dead he’s not coming back to life, so it’s a good strategy to try and take him out early. It’s a pretty tactical plasmid.Ĭan you tell us a little more about the ability to play as Big Daddy in multiplayer?īerube: Pretty much in every mode it’s a pick-up in the world that spawns randomly so if you happen upon it, you can choose to be the Big Daddy. Goode: You can even use it to get into certain areas faster, like if you got the Little Sister you can use it to get to the vent really quickly. Goode: Just to explain what Aero Dash does it just propels you forward. Or, if you’re low on health, you can just Houdini and try to make a run for it. You can use it defensively to sneak up behind somebody, get out of Houdini and shot gun them in the back. You can use it to tackle your enemies, stun them, or you can use it to just disengage from the battle very quickly, or make a run with the Little Sister very quickly. That will distract the enemy, but it’s much more deadly when you get it in a low ceiling area.īerube: Every new plasmid that we came up with we wanted to make sure they served a lot of different purposes, both offensive and defensive. Miller: It’s also very tactical because when you are using it in a defensive situation, and realize you are in a low ceiling area it makes it much more effective versus some sort of open air courtyard. You can also charge it up with electricity. You can hit enemies directly with it shooting them up into the ceiling and they can get propelled into walls. You can use it on the ground to propel yourself up in the air like a personal jump pad. Geyser Trap is one that’s both offensive and defensive. The Houdini plasmid, Geyser Trap and Aero Dash. There’s also four new plasmids, but only three we can talk about.
It’s a new weapon that charges up if you hold a button down and then unleashes a random fire of nails. There are two multiplayer-specific weapons, though we’re only allowed to talk about one - Nail Gun. Will there be any multiplayer-specific weapons or plasmids not found in the single-player game? We sat down with lead designer Mathieu Berube, senior designer Alan Goode and 2K Marin senior producer Melissa Miller to talk new modes, multiplayer-exclusive plasmids and weapons, strategies and more. Game Informer had the opportunity to chat with Digital Extremes about the multiplayer component of BioShock 2. Only Capture the Sister (be the first team to snatch Little Sister and put her in a vent), Civil War (team death match) and Survival of the Fittest (free for all) modes were revealed.
#Bioshock 2 multiplayer plus#
The multiplayer game offers five modes plus two variations of two of the modes. The multiplayer campaign is set during the fall of Rapture where players are plasmid test subjects for Sinclair Solutions. In addition to the single-player game, BioShock 2 offers a multiplayer option with narrative that serves as a prequel to the original.
