Details on the multiplayer modes exclusive to each format...
Ubisoft today released details on the multiplayer aspects to the forthcoming multi-format cell-shaded first-person-shooter âXIIIâ.
Boldly announcing that the title will be the first online first-person-shooter on the Playstation2, the Xbox and PC versions will also offer online play whilst GameCube owners have to make do with a split-screen four player mode.
In addition to the classic DeathMatch, Team DeathMatch and Capture the Flag modes, the game will offer exclusive modes to each different version.
Playstation2 Exclusive Modes
The Playstation2 version will benefit from five different modes including âThe Huntâ and âPower Upâ for four players online and two-player split-screen offline. The exclusive PS2 multiplayer mode, Power Up, is a custom Deathmatch multiplayer mode, which includes various pick-ups â“ some classic pick-ups are replaced with funnier ones, such as "Frag Instant Death" (ability to kill opponent with one shot) or "SuperGnome" (character becomes deformed). Additionally, pick-ups are chosen according to the player's score position. The best player will receive the worst pick-ups and vice versa.
In the Hunt, players chase a running target throughout the map. Points are scored depending on how much damage is afflicted each time the target is hit. The more times the target is hit, the smaller it becomes, so scoring becomes more difficult. Players gain extra points by killing the target, but touching the target results in death!
Only on Xbox Live
Xbox gamers can dive into four-player split-screen offline multiplayer or enter into online battles with up to eight players. The exclusive Xbox Live mode is "Sabotage," where two teams compete to take control of different strategic points in the map. One team must defend the control points, while the other team must sabotage them within a certain time limit. The defending team wins if time runs out, while the attacking team wins by destroying all of the defence points.
