So what were your first impressions of the multiplayer portion of Dead Space 2?
When I saw the article when it was announced and the beta gameplay I honestly thought it was gonna be udder shit, but man I was impressed. They didn't put much work in to it, but whats there is a fun and great team based game.
Theres only three problems I have with it, but those are because of the players not the game. The first is that there is not enough emphasis they put in game for the objectives. I always get left with kids who don't go for the objective what so ever, and I'm left to destroy the Marker, activate the escape pods, etc. and give a few deaths while doing it ("LOL what nub he went ONLY 12 and 10! I bet hes autistic heehaheehee" coming from the 12 year-old teammates). The other two complaints are features in the game being abused. The Pack necromorph (the mutated baby) has the shortest respawn time, and has an annoying execution attack (jumps on human, which ensues into a battle of who can press a button the fastest) which stops the human from getting to an objective, and there is no class limit to make it worse. For example whenever we're almost getting the last objective, the necromorph team will all abuse the Pack and it's execution attack. The other abused feature is Stasis. It is in my opinion overpowered and over used against the bigger necromorphs (The Spitter, which is the one I main, and the Puker).

Its nowhere near amazing as other multiplayer games I've played, but its quite fun and refreshing. I say its like a shorter, gorier version of Left 4 Dead.

Yes the players tend not to go for the objectives, but to be honest I find some of the objectives hard to find. Maybe thats why some ignore the objective. Also most of the other necros have execution attack, but yes the baby is the most spammed and I wish they had a class limit. Stasis is not really bothering me, but thats because I used that tiny shooting necro.

Overall its quite fun. A bit flawed but still enjoyable.

I read it and instantly thought of Left 4 Dead. Only scarier. And with more entrails and limb loss.
