I'll just have to hope that it has yet to be revealed.
Face Off: The sole adversarial mode, with players going head-to-head with a costumizable number of A.I. Opponents populating the map.
I hope this only applies to the "Deniable Ops" and within the context of the whole game, isn't the sole adversarial mode.

Isn't there supposed to be some kind of news or something relating to the MP released today?

I guess this coop video is it? What the hell is with the lighting? Everything looks so bright, and there's practically no contrast.

What the fuck?! Why even announce that there will be some kind of MP-related info/media and then show an underwhelming video of a mode we already know about? Goddamnit.

In total, the game has five multiplayer modes, four of which being separate from the main campaign. You can find out more about Prologue mode by reading on below — but here's what we know about the special "deniable ops" multiplayer modes:
—Hunter is for one to two players to go in and stealth kill everybody they find.
—Infiltration is a "pure" stealth mode for one to two players where the second you're spotted, you lose.
—Last Stand is a survival mode where one to two players have to protect a warhead within a level from a group of AI that want to set it off.
—Face Off throws out co-op and pits two players against both each other and a lot of hostile AI within a level.
Spy Vs Merc? :(

I don't even know what this Spy vs. Merc mode is, so I can't say I'm disappointed with that - I never really played the original SC games.

This however looks brilliant, from the single player to the completely separate co-op mode. The plot of the co-op story though... erm *cough* 24 Season 3 *cough*

Shame on you blm. It's only the greatest mode since the invention of modes!

But granted the other modes do look like a lot of fun.

QFT. I'll rent the game, but I'm 100% not buying this if there's no Spies vs. Mercs.

It's the kickass multiplayer mode that was introduced in Pandora Tomorrow. It was also in Chaos Theory and Double Agent, though they ruined it in Double Agent.

You have two people playing as Spies who have objectives like hacking terminals, or stealing something and trying to get it back to an extraction point. They have a weird stun gun thing that electrifies people, disables motion sensors, cameras, mines, etc... smoke grenades, chaff grenades, flashbangs, and a few other pieces of equipment. Playing against them are two Mercs. They have guns, mines, spy traps, etc...and have to kill the spies. Oh, and both sides have special vision modes that have their pros and cons. It was SUCH a fun and rewarding multiplayer mode. Easily my favourite multiplayer game mode of any game ever.

Anyone know if that "desaturation" element is an option you can turn off? They showed it in the Coop-mode demo on Gamespot and it's fucking annoying imo! I like my game with colors, whether I'm in the shadows or not.

i dont mind it personally, although i'd rather you simply had a night vision mode, but all that is doing is replacing a black and white image with one made up of shades of green.

as long as the game makes it clear that you're invisible, then i'm happy.

read that the prologue mode will be split screen too (w00t) although no word on the other modes, although i'd assume they would be if prologue mode is.

I don't see what the night vision has to do with indicating you are invisible?! Either way, I prefer having an icon or meter indicating I'm invisible and as he mentiones in the Gamespot video, there IS an indication meter/icon. So there is no actual need for this desaturation crapfest.

I think it's highly annoying and completely overused. I mean, anytime you pass through a patch of shadow, the screens flickers from full colour to "ancient TV screen mode" to full colour again. Can't stand it!

It'd better be an option or they can shove this game up that place where the sun don't shine...

i'd rather there be as little HUD as possible. and my comment on night vison goggles was more just a passing statement on the weird goggles they currently have in there (looks like sonar or some shit) which makes the game go completely grey. as you can see, this brings up an issue. how do you know you're invisible
(the game goes grey) when you've activated the goggles (the game goes grey)...you cant.

thankfully they've said they think the green night vision may end up in there anyway, so i'm more then happy. as i said, as long as i know i'm invisible, and as long as there isnt some dumb icon telling me so (seriously, we've progressed past HUD's now, cinematic experince FTW), i'm happy.

if anything, the thing that still looks completely out of place and stupid is the last known possition, for a game that does look so cinematic, i fail to see how they thought a glowing image of yourself was ever a good idea (in the walkthrough the player even turns round and tries to shoot his own last known possition). it was fine and less distracting in chaos theory where they'd simply shoot or go searching in the erea they last saw you. once again it looks like ubisoft are trying to take away any reason for the player to observe and think for themselves, instead ubisoft are doing what they do best, make the game retard friendly.

Hmmm, I see now. Good point indeed.

As for your other points, I'd prefer some other visual "clue" as to whether I'm invisible or not. I mean, if you play the game properly, you should be hidden in the shadows atleast 80% of the time. Which, in effect, means that you're playing a black/white game 80% of the time. I mean, it's 2010 (by that time) for god sakes and I don't have a proper expensive TV so I can play games in black/white again.

But most importantly it makes the game look bland as hell. I mean, they have these fantastic visuals with an otherwise beautiful colourscheme and it's all being thrown out of the windows because of this crappy "feature". And to me it's hardly an improved cinematic experience.

I really don't get it, honestly...
