So just out of curiousity, I rather enjoy the Bioshock 2 multiplayer and find it to be a fresh sort take on multiplayer. What do my fellow Escapists think of the multiplayer in Bioshock 2?

I think it is pretty good. The Plasmids and Tonics really spice the gameplay up and the it's fun to use them to kill players in creative ways. It's also a lot of fun to play a Big Daddy.

Which is why you use Telekensis to throw them back. If everyone noob tubes then you shouldn't have any problem finding a use for the Plasmid and the game runs smoothly for me so I don't really see where the lag issue is coming from.

I enjoyed my first few games until I realized the host always seems to get a giant advantage. I think I will just stick with story mode.

I don't know why people are complaining about lag, because I don't have any lag at all. I really like the multiplayer. Generally, I hate multiplayer games, but I actually enjoy Bioshock 2. I think the combination of plasmids and guns makes it stand out, although I wish it were bigger than 6 to 10 people. Is it spectacular? No. Worth playing? I'd say so.

That's what I have Call of Duty for.
Call of Duty is different.
You can tell because of the spelling.

BioShock.
Call of Duty.

Vastly different spellings.

Probably Australia.
His Profile states him as American. So I don't think his residency is the problem.

OH SHIT!!! REALLY?!?!?! I was unaware of that, thanks for pointing it out. Now I know it's ok to switch out the disc in my tray and it will be a different game. Damn, you're a genius.

I thought we were taking turns to state the obvious, but hey... no problem I am glad to have been of some help. Enjoy those other games, some of them are real beauties.

Just remember to put the disk marked "BioShock" in the BioShock case and vice versa... this will make finding and playing them again at a later date significantly easier.

Oh, ok. I generally just put any game in any case no matter what they say on them. Then when I pull them out and play them again I just assume they are what the box says they are, I thought Fallout 3 was Halo 3 for a good 8 months!!! Good thing you're here to help!

I'm from the internet, and I'm here to help.

Don't feel too bad, I opened the box for BioShock 2 and for the first 5 hours I thought I had the Original BioShock DVD in the drive. So it happens to even the best of us from time to time.

Don't say stupid stuff and then not expected to be made fun of. Stop having a whinge. Unless you're actually so thick you can't see what he's saying, which I am assuming you are not.
Ok Johnny Come Lately, stop getting your panties in a twist, I understood his joke and was responding with sarcasm, christ jesus in heaven.

The topic seems to have been abandoned entirely...

OT: I enjoy it, but it's not anything revolutionary IMO :p

What about him? If you understood it, maybe you shouldnt have reacted like a 12 year old. Not cool, mate. Sarcasm wasn't warrented, it made you look like a dick.
Oh man, well..........................I never thought of it that way...................but...................................damn..........you know what............thanks for getting involved...............it totally helped me out, you know? When you said I reacted like a 12 year old...I mean........DAMN.........fucking deep dude...here............just for you.
/sarcasm

BTW you are a phenomenal speller.

If you want to see me react like a 12 year old I will, but I was looking for other opinions on Bioshock's multiplayer and reacting the way I felt was according. If anyone was reacting from a knee jerk 12 year old ideal it was probably you, then you felt the need to point the finger because you, pun intended, got pwned with words dawg.

P.S.: Did you just decide to take on the mod's job on your own or did someone put you up to it?

i like it. I think it is all kinds of actual fun rather than some fun mixed with mostly frustration like cod...

I find the online to be very laggy (on the 360). It didn't feel smooth, half the people appeared to be teleporting, although i don't know if that was lag or that dash plasmid. There are alot better online shooters which i'll go to if i want to build up some rage.

I thought the multiplayer was balls. I figured it would be, and aside from map graphics, the thing runs slower and choppier than my PC multiplayer games I remember from junior high. Besides, that's the last game on Earth to need an online multiplayer. The first game was so wonderful that this whole thing just seems like a cheaper teenage cash-in.

No offense, but maybe it's because he's a noob?
But on topic, my connection is pretty good, little lag, and noob tubes are pretty easy to defeat, either Telekinesis it or Cyclone Trap the other guys, then torch the cyclone.
