Memberlol Ninja's post has a -10!! LOL!!
anywho, I'm looking forward to that DLC, i really love this game!
I have been playing the multiplayer almost non-stop since i beat single-player. I knew this game would be good, but it really impressed me so much! Really wasn't expecting much from MP, but it is excellent! So much fun! And the SP was really freaking amazing!
A fantastic game. Get it.

MemberI wonder if the Single Player DLC will be like the Challenge Rooms DLC from the original Bioshock.

I've gotten some really mixed reviews on the MP… I'm going to try it tonight when I get home, if I like it I'm hitting you up for some rounds.

Participanti've been playing the multiplayer myself since i finished everything on the single player (which was excellent).
I saw a review the other day that said “a sequel that surpassed the original”. I don't agree with that at all, however, it is indeed up to par with the first. “As good.”
the multiplayer is pretty good – however, i found it a little hard to get into it at first as nothing is explained really. you're stuck right in the middle of things and you have to just figure it out for yourself. for someone like myself who doesn't play a lot of multiplayer games, it can be quite intimidating. one noticeable problem is that you can be rank 3, and you'll be up against players who are rank 10+. my first game was a free for all, i was rank 1 against several other rank 1s, but there was a rank 6, who no doubt had a rather large advantage.
you get goals to complete, called “trials”. chances are you won't notice them until it tells you 'you've completed xxx'. You're then left thinking “I did what now?”. then you'll look up the rest of them and understand the idea of multiplayer is to complete these trials and gain more adam, and ultimately, rank up faster.
As soon as you rank up, you get access to additional stuff. At that point you are already queued for the next match, where you have only 60 seconds to re-configure your 'loadouts' (a selection of gear you can use in a single match). Since you have 3 different loadouts, it can be quite difficult to re-configure them all in just 60 seconds. I found myself exiting the game a couple times in order to change my gear for different games, and to reach different trial goals.
all in all a pretty decent multiplayer experience. if in doubt, just join a free for all, you'll get the idea by the end of the match. you might not win, but you'll get to rank 2 even if you only kill one person i think.
///sorry for the long post haha.
February 23, 2010 at 7:43 pm #58341MemberThats cool – a good explanation of what to expect. Reconfiguring load outs in a rush is something I'm used to from going thru all the weapon challenges in cod4.
From my initial play (about 2 hours last night) I do feel that the gameplay was barely improved upon. Thats okay though, as while playing the original recently I felt like it was still a fantastic game by current standards. I really like the improvements they did make – the third weapon upgrade is real interesting, I'm especially interesting in upgrading my drill for the reflector. Being able to wield a plasmid while using your weapon really makes using them in conjunction so much smoother, its great. I'm really curious about what plasmid upgrades there are, the only one I know of is for incinerate. I'm glad the health has been redirected to the d-pad, I constantly used my health by accident in the original trying to crouch after playing too much cod4. And despite the criticism I've seen about the story, I like how it is set up so far. I feel like a lot of people expected more out of it, little realising that part of what made the originals so great was that there was a huge story about Rapture being told along side of the character's story. Now we already know about Rapture, so the only new part is about your character, which leaves less mystery, but it is still intriguing to me.
@yakumo – I got the impression from the article I read that the SP DLC will somehow be an extension to the story line, rather than challenge rooms. It also hinted at the possibility of more new weapons/plasmids of somesort, but was rather vague on that.

If your judging by his level, then your wrong.. He has boosted from level 0 to level 40. I don't think he has played at all.. not saying he is bad, i just dont know if he is actually good or not.
I just reached level 40, and i am definitely going to continue playing!
February 24, 2010 at 2:23 am #58360Participantwhat annoys me is that i was just in a group at rank 9, and was up against rank 20-40.
not much i can do to compete really. still managed to get 3rd place though. 😛

Oh i didn't realise he had boosted. He is quite good still; played with him the other night.
March 11, 2010 at 8:09 pm #59637Member@empeedee – that is really cool. thanks.
Its easy to be good at a game when you have access to all the guns, accessories, plasmids, that no one else does… If you have to boost to get there… well, skill has just gone right out the window. Anyone ever wanna play this with me? I'm kinda switching back and forth between this, borderlands, and uncharted 2…
Also – anyone think the dlc for this kinda sucks? Wheres the maps??
