[E3 09] Bioshock 2 Multiplayer Impressions
The first Bioshock is generally regarded as one of the finest games of this generation. It's unique in a lot of ways, not the least of which being it's lack of multiplayer. It's a rare FPS in this day and age which doesn't ship with at least some sort of MP, but 2K Boston thought it wouldn't work. So the announcement that Bioshock 2 would include multiplayer started some tongues wagging. Would they be able to make a multiplayer mode capable of hanging with the sublime, but very story driven, campaign? Well the MP was playable on the floor of E3 this week, and some of those questions have been answered.

Damn, it sounds fun. I was automatically assuming it would be shit like other SP heavy games before it, but it's starting to sound a lot more interesting.

Hopefully they use the elemental plasmids properly, like shocking water and setting fire to cover, make for a rather tactical game which I think is the only way MP for Bioshock could really work.

I can see this working in deathmatch, but thank god there's no co-op mode for the campaign.
