Multiplayer suggestion

[Jack Burton]

Short and sweet:

Just hoping to get you guys to pack more into the reviews and game descriptions regarding multiplay.  I pretty much only play console games multiplayer.  Things I want to know are:

1) Is multiplay only available over online service, or is there multiplay on one screen or split screen?
2) How does the multiplay differ from single player?
3) If there is multiplayer, does include a co-op mode?  or is it one against others? or all against all? or all of the above?
4) If the type of game allows, is there hot-seat mode (gladius) or would a hot seat type play make sense?
5) Even though single player may suck, does multiplayer make it fun?

Anyone else interested in this stuff?

That would be no problem on my part.  So, you just want a more detailed example of the multiplayer modes available, right?

Good ideas; I'd find those additional details very useful in reviews!

  Yeah.  Those items in my above post are probably most important to me as a player regarding multiplay!  Thx for the reply.

Let me know if my upcoming WiC is what you would like.  I attempted to address all of your bullet points covering everything from Massgate, to the differences between online and offline  gameplay.

Yeah that is good!  I'd like to see how it goes on consoles as well.

Another suggestion is..

6) Are there multiplayer bots?

With recent games like Enemy Territory Quake Wars and Unreal Tournament 3, both games have bots that can be played offline in the multiplayer maps or online to fill out the servers.. more often than not, a game having bots is what leads me to buying the game or passing it for something else.
