Game designer Josh Hamrick talks about BlackSite: Area 51's multiplayer in his blog post:
"We have eight maps in BlackSite that are pulled from key locations in our single player campaign. Almost all the maps were either hand made or at least hand polished by our amazingly talented multiplayer lead Tom Bonner and designer Harold Handlin."
"BlackSite has four multiplayer game modes. Three of the four are standards that we have all come to expect in any multiplayer FPS: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. We also have a unique multiplayer experience called Abduction. Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch are classics and as long as the game systems are all working well together they make for great time in almost any FPS. I can assure you that BlackSite is no exception and these modes play great! Abduction is also a stupid amount of fun and we know that there will be large groups of people that will only ever play Abduction. The scoring system makes for a really competitive game and simple changes such as max score and the map size really change the feel of it. There are a large group of Midway Austin employees that swear that the biggest maps are the only way to play Abduction while another group fights for the right of the small maps!"
Derik Moore of Gaming Rebellion Writes: "Welcome to another Gaming For Official Use Only. I have wanted to cover this topic for a long time, but I really couldn’t decide on which Area 51 game I would cover. There’s the classic light gun arcade game from the 1990’s, and a fairly forgotten FPS reboot from the 2000’s. I spent too much time trying to figure out which I would cover until it hit me: I don’t have to choose. I’ll cover both before going on to probably the most well known conspiracy theory in mainstream media. Let’s start with the awesome light gun game."
EB's Nat Smyth writes, "Blacksite Area 51 piqued my curiosity when I was a new Xbox 360 owner in 2007, and I had seen it on the shelf too many times in visits to my local Gamestop to pass it up, so I finally bought it. What I got when I played it was a dull, lifeless, and somewhat ugly looking first person shooter that didn’t hold up at all next to the recently released Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."
Justin from TMSGamer is back for the third, and final part of his article about the worst games he has played on this generation. Remember, these are games only he has played.
OMG Multiplayer!!! Ingenious....
So how sucky and short is the singleplayer campaign and does CO-OP get any love???
All these new games focusing on mulit while letting co-op and single campaign suck it should have "Some Assembly Required" on the case...
