Playing a Multiplayer Game
Playing against a live human opponent separates raw recruits from seasoned deep cover agents. "Ecks vs. Sever" offers three styles of multiplayer action, all supporting 2-4 players. 2-4 Player Deathmatch
•
Objective: This is the standard multiplayer death-match game.
•
Four levels are available with a selection of weaponry.
•
Victory is achieved by being the first player to reach a specific number of frags.
•
In timed death-match, the player with the highest number of kills before the clock expires wins.
2-4 Player Bomb Kit
•
Objective: Each player must locate three bomb sections (explosive, detonator, and timer) and plant the bomb in the NSA mainframe computer.
•
Bomb components are color-coded, and an HUD indicator displays which components each player has assembled.
•
Players can decide to continue assembling their bomb or prevent others from planting a completed bomb.
•
Press the B Button in a given area to plant the assembled bomb and end the game.
2-4 Player Assassination
•
Objective: One player acts as an assassin (Ecks or Sever) to kill a VIP protected by Government forces. •
Other players act as SWAT, FBI, or NSA characters who must protect the VIP by eliminating the assassin.
•
The assassin starts armed only with a personal pistol and a sniper rifle. •
The VIP is located in a hotel room with various points of access, including lines of sight from rooftops for strategic sniper use. •
The number of access points for the assassin increases based on the number of SWAT/FBI/NSA players.
