Yeah, but it doesn't mean it's good in all games. BioShock is very story-driven, and the problem is that I don't think it serves itself well. Of what I played of BioShock, you don't fight equals - like, you don't fight someone who's similar to you, only Splicers and Big Daddies (granted, I'm only at the garden). I just think that it'll be another Metroid Prime 2, where people simply didn't like the multiplayer, and it got a negative stigma for it.

some devs just tack on multiplayer, and it shows.

This'll at least make the second game more exciting than the first.

Of course, there wouldn't be a multiplayer mode if people didn't bitch about the first game 'lacking' one. Which was made as a single player experience. Now just look at the mess we have now before us.

Doesn't look so bad to me. I agree that the game really didn't need multiplayer, but I'll probably spend a few hours playing it anyways. Is everyone complaining because it's too hectic? I mean it's multiplayer. I've never played a FPS online that wasn't.

The animations are terrible but other than that it looks like it could be a fun mode to play. I can definitely see good multiplayer potential in the plasmids. It's very fast-paced and at times I got a TF2 vibe from it. Honestly, I have low expectations for this game but this trailer looked alright to me.
That said, I don't see this mode really taking off, people see BioShock as a single-player experience and I doubt that'll change, the community for this will die out in a few weeks when people go back to COD and Halo.

Why is this game made? Because the first one sold well
Besides, I always wanted to play as big daddy, now I get to ! I'm sure some of you agree? BS2 will sure be interesting

as much as I loved bioshock one ( more than the majority of people even ) and as much as I hope to love no 2 just as much this multiplayer is just offputting. Everything about it screams random generic late generation xbox 1 shooter.
Its been said a thousand times, some games doesnt need multiplayer. Bioshock is one of them....monkey island is another ._.

I guess this MP could turn out to be a fun diversion. That you get to use to interesting weaponry compared to other MPs is a plus.
Having said that, SP is what Bioshock is all about. The overly edited trailer didn't do it any favors, and the whole thing makes it look like Bioshock turning into a parody of itself. I'm already skeptical as it is playing as a Big Daddy in the SP.

eh, has potential, but the trailer was totally unflattering in nearly every way.
I don't know who okay-ed its release, but yeah, it'snot doing you any favours 2K Marin.

That looked horrendous...what the f*ck with the focred mp in most games? I'm really worried about Bioshock 2, seriously WTF at all these reused assets from the first game & the identical graphics - at least from this video I can't see a single improvement....
I loved the first game but Bioshock 2 looks more and more like the game I was afraid we were going to get after Ken Levine left...an uninspired expansion.

This reminds me of Shadowrun in such a bad way. I don't even want this on the same disc as my Bioshock 2, to be honest. Do they really think this is going to convert any of the Halo or Call of Duty players? At best, this will end up like GTA IV's multiplayer. That is to say, it'll be passable but nobody will feel like playing it.

Yeah, I know but telling people on the video game side of a forum on a video game website to get a life is extremely douchey and kind of sad.
The Big Daddy mode seems like it could be fun. The rest just seemed to be the usual deathmatch clusterfuck in the bioshock setting. Not something I'm really looking forward to. I still think they should've gone for a sequel in a completely new setting/story, but oh well. I'll mostly likely be picking this up, loved the first one.

I have no interest in this, but to be fair, it's just a quick-cut trailer. I remember back in the day, the trailers made Thief and Metal Gear Solid look like Quake blast-a-thons. I have to see someone playing the game to get a feel for the pacing and design.
And yeah, I know this is going to suck, I don't even know why I'm defending it.

because you have seen one mode which is free for all deathmatch (probably) you all say it's a clusterfuck?
ever played any other free for all deatmatches? it is chaotic like that. they wanted to show the action and you got action. maybe I am the only one liking fast, chaotic shootouts

Multiplayer is seen as adding value to a game...even if it's tacked on it's still a nice bullet point. I know many people that wouldn't pay $60 for a single player game. Shit unless it's a huge AAA title I usually won't myself.

it's a clusterfuck of stupid, with:
duders walking into electrically-charged water;
duders standing ablaze on conveniently placed oil slicks;
...and more.
but, yo - 'it's got art deco!' ALSO: cramped spaces / narrow corridors with explosions and redundant plasmids!
'i caught your turret's rocket and recoiled that shit in its FACE!'
could be fun. could be fucked.
