Duke Nukem Forever’s multiplayer modes revealed
Scans from Official Xbox Magazine have revealed that Duke Nukem Forever will launch with four multiplayer game modes. Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Hail to the King and <sigh></sigh> Capture the Babe are Nukem themed names for classic game modes ingrained in the multiplayer history of video games. These matches will support 8 players at a pop for your typical deathmatch and 4v4 in the team deathmatch and capture the flag modes. There's a bit of a twist with the Capture the Babe mode, the scans reveal that when you grab her "she'll start to freak out" so you'll have to "quiet her down" by giving her a "gentle smack". Nice.
Plenty of weapons are to be included at launch. Expect to see pistols, shotguns, the ripper chaingun, an RPG, railguns, shrinkers and more. Supposedly you'll be able to equip two "primary" weapons with assorted grenades such as pipebombs and tripbombs whilst you storm around the 10 multiplayer map. We'll get to check out the old west town "Morning Wood", "Dukeburger" where everyone will be miniture wandering around a colossal world and other maps including a Vegas style Casino.
Duke Nukem Forever's multiplayer will include an XP system whereby kills = points and points = customizing your Duke, it's a simple system that on paper sounds great - basic kills get you small points and achievement earning big kills get you more points. Simples.
