Playing a Multiplayer Game
To fight against the game AI is one thing. To fight against a live human opponent is another. This is the section that separates the raw recruits from the seasoned deep cover agents. 'Ecks vs. Sever' offers you three styles of Multiplayer action. In all games, 2-4 players can participate. 2-4 Player - Deathmatch
Objective: This is the standard multiplayer death-match game for 2 - 4 players. Four levels are available, with a selection of weaponry at your disposal. Overall victory is the first player to reach 'X' number of frags or in timed death-match, the player to amass the highest number of kills before the clock expires.
2-4 Player - Bomb Kit
Objective: Each player must locate three sections of a bomb: explosive, detonator and timer and then plant the bomb in the NSA mainframe computer. Each of the player's bomb components will be colour-coded and an indicator on the HUD will display which components the player and the other players competing in the same game have assembled. This will allow the players to decide to continue assembling their bomb or to locate and prevent any of the other players carrying a completed bomb from planting it in the mainframe. When assembled, the bomb is planted by pressing B Button in a given area, ending the game. BOOM!!!
