At the end of every match, the company will assess your performance and potentially promote your ranking, which essentially grants you access to more weapons and more plasmids. But Sinclair's involvement doesn't end there. (You can also select from your list of loadouts after dying in a match.) And if you're wondering how a lowly welder gets access to weapons and plasmids, a group named Sinclair Solutions provides you with them because they have a vested interest in the outcome of Rapture's civil war (you might remember that there was a bar in the original BioShock called Sinclair Spirits). You can mix certain types of weapons with certain plasmids, so that you can immediately access those combinations without having to go back into a menu. The apartment, or safe house, is also where you can build loadouts for Jacob before joining a match. You even have your own bathysphere to launch you into a multiplayer match.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's There's a standard menu option and then there's Jacob Morris' (the lead character in multiplayer and a welder who may have even helped build Rapture) apartment, which is a visual representation of all of the multiplayer options and information presented in spectacular Art Deco Rapture style. What's interesting is that there are actually two very different methods for jumping into a multiplayer game.
Unlike the single-player campaign, BioShock 2's multiplayer component takes place a year before the original game, during the civil war that initiated the downfall of Rapture and Andrew Ryan's underwater utopia. But more importantly, the original Big Daddy can make one decision that the others cannot: He can choose to protect the Little Sisters and continue to let them harvest Adam from fallen splicers or he can harvest them and take their Adam.Īfter we viewed a brief trailer of BioShock's lead character in action (which you can view above), representatives from Digital Extremes took to the front of the room to give a deeper look at the multiplayer component in BioShock 2. Additionally, he can use a variety of weapons, ranging from the massive Big Daddy drill and a rivet gun to all-new plasmids, which have been tweaked to make them even more effective in combat.

He has regained his free will, which also happens to make him faster and more agile than other Big Daddies. But he's different from the single-purpose drones that roam around in the original game. That new lead character is the original Big Daddy-the very first to don the massive diving suit in the city of Rapture.
The focus of the single-player mode, in terms of its lead character, was to change it from the perspective of an outsider to that of a resident of Rapture, and in particular someone who plays an important role in the overall framework of the city. First, the single-player mode in BioShock 2 takes place 10 years after the events that transpired in the original game, which means that Rapture has fallen into a state of decay as the ocean continues to reclaim it and its inhabitants. Perhaps one of the most anticipated games coming out this year, BioShock 2 is on display at E3 2009, and though it's not here in any playable form, we did get to see a trailer of the single-player mode in action and, surprisingly, a good chunk of the multiplayer.
