Multiplayer Modes Revealed for Condemned 2: Bloodshot

SEGA announced today that some new multiplayer modes would be featured in the next installment of the Condemned series. Condemned 2: Bloodshot will introduce a variety of online multiplayer modes for up to eight players:

• Crime Scene is an innovative round-based competition to find and protect valuable evidence within the Condemned universe. One team will use their forensic tools to track and scan the evidence while the opposing team will do everything in their power to keep the evidence hidden and protected.
• Bum Rush is a team-based race against time. With three minutes before one team can safely be evacuated, players must hold off an onslaught of attacks by the other team until the timer runs out in order to stand a chance of survival.
• Deathmatch is the classic free-for-all mode. Players can use every weapon they can find to dispatch enemies as quickly as possible in this melee battle royale. The player with the highest score at the end of the time limit wins.
• Team Deathmatch is the team-based version of the classic free-for-all mode. Working together, players pick up weapons from the environment and fight off as many enemies as possible before the clock runs down. The team with the highest score after the time limit wins.

There are also a couple of trailers (here and here) showing what looks like some Deathmatch gameplay. The trailers, well, don’t impress. Besides being egregiously short, they basically just show show two people trying to beat on each other with sticks. I’ve seen whack-a-mole games that were more interesting. That “Crime Scene” mode sounds like it could be interesting though.
