New information on the multiplayer mode that will be available in the upcoming Bioshock 2(via shacknews). Interestingly the multiplayer portion will take place before the fall of Rapture. You play a test subject and you level up while you kill more enemies and are able to upgrade your plasmid abilities etc. What’s odd is that the multiplayer portion will be developed by Digital Extremes(not 2K Marin) which did Dark Sector.
Quoted from bigdownload:
The multiplayer modes also serve as a prequel to the original BioShock game as they are supposed to take place before and during the fall of the underwater city of Rapture. Your multiplayer character is supposed to be a Plasmid test subject and earning experience points will give the player access to new weapons, tonics and plasmids that will allow for hundreds of different combinations. Players are also supposed to learn more about Rapture's fall via the citizens of the game somehow while previous BioShock locations like Kashmir Restaurant and Mercury Suites have been reworked for multiplayer. Specifics about the multiplayer modes have yet to be revealed.
Interesting move by 2K to outsource the multiplayer to another studio. I suppose it allows 2K to focus on doing an awesome single player campaign while not taking away the resources need to make it awesome.
