Condemned 2 dated March 11, multiplayer detailed

by James Ransom-Wiley { Jan 22nd 2008 at 6:00PM }

Sink your hooks into Condemned 2 come March 11, Sega says. If that's not enough to whet your appetite for macabre delights, the publisher has also revealed several multiplayer modes that look standard on paper, but are decidedly vicious in practice (see videos after the break). Aside from the usual Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch modes, there's "Bum Rush" (one team has 3 minutes to survive a ... bum rush) and "Crime Scene," which attempts to incorporate Condemned's analytical investigations into the otherwise chaotic blood sport as one team tracks evidence while the other 'protects' it – Quick! Lose that 2x4 and grab a mop for that bloodstain! Multiplayer matches support up to eight players on both Xbox Live and PSN.

Off topic quick question...

I'm discussing with a friend about how do people play shooters... I play with the inverted axis and he with normal axis...

How do you guys play?

I play with normal y-axis (not inverted).

inverted

Normal. LEFT IS LEFT DAMMIT!

Oddly, it depends on the game for me. I guess it's because I try to play with the default settings of a game before I make any adjustments; but then sometimes I'll change it just to make things feel right. I play Halo with non-inverted but I play Metroid with inverted.

Inverted on consoles. Goldeneye came that way by default, so it became habit.

colin @ Jan 22nd 2008 7:39PM

to clarify, i play with just y-inverted, left is still left. for me it goes back to airplanes. when i was a young child, (before goldeneye came out) my dad would let me take the yoke of his rental cessna for a little while whenever we would go flying. this is hard wired in my brain, push down pull up.

I used to be inverted, but somehow I started using normal axis again.

This looks totally awesome except... No co-op??? WTF developers, this game would be so awesome with co-op.

It would be kind of fun, but I think it would take away from the fear factor of the game. It's not really scary at all when you have someone playing along side you in a game like this IMO.
