Ironically I was just talking about this game in my other post and the news of the different multiplayer modes were just sent over via a press release. The addition of online multiplayer to Condemned 2: Bloodshot is much welcomed and spells out good things for this game. I like the Crime Scene mode where one team faces the other in an evidence finding versus hiding mission, it’s like Scooby Doo all over again.

From the press release:

SAN FRANCISCO (January 22, 2008) – SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced the exciting and all-new multiplayer modes that will be playable in Condemned 2: Bloodshot™, the next chapter in the terrifying series that is slated to ship in North America on March 11, 2008 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.

Taking the Condemned universe to a new and even more intense level, Condemned 2: Bloodshot will introduce a variety of bone-chilling online multiplayer modes for up to eight players including:

· Crime Scene is an innovative round-based competition to find and protect
valuable evidence within the Condemned universe. One team will use their forensic tools to track and scan the evidence while the opposing team will do everything in their power to keep the evidence hidden and protected.

· Bum Rush is a team-based race against time. With three minutes before one team can safely be evacuated, players must hold off an onslaught of attacks by the other team until the timer runs out in order to stand a chance of survival.

· Deathmatch is the classic free-for-all mode. Players can use every weapon they can find to dispatch enemies as quickly as possible in this melee battle royale. The player with the highest score at the end of the time limit wins.

· Team Deathmatch is the team-based version of the classic free-for-all mode. Working together, players pick up weapons from the environment and fight off as many enemies as possible before the clock runs down. The team with the highest score after the time limit wins.
